  • This newell vintage 1984 rv is getting the royal treatment. This is going to drive like a new rv when it pulls out of here. The vehicle was barely usable because the engine was overheating at every trip.

    Buddy up your way had his barn blown down. It came down on top of Wanderlodge. He told us (in the WOG) he could get in it. The bathroom door was jammed. We’re hoping they get the rubble off it , the roof will flex back up. All steel coach. Otherwise it looks good, just can’t drive it out yet. It’s holding up a bit of the barn.

    No body is perfect. I have rebuilt a lawnmower engine for my self. I built the whole thing knowing I needed to replace the piston ring as well. Well fixed all the other issues. Then put it together. Next day walk over to the work table sitting next to it was the ring set for the piston. Man I was like you idiot how can you forget the one thing you were doing. I was pretty upset with my self for a bit. But it is easy on a small engine. It still had the old piston rings on it. But I did replace the rings the same day. Now I keep a check list of parts of done for the day or week. More organized for myself.

      That’s why we test for leaks. That one was easy to find. It was funny because after about 10 seconds of running i looked under snd no fluids had hit the floor yet. Then 30 seconds into it i looked under again and said oh shit, shut if off. Then for about two min after shut down the puddle kept growing and expanding.

    What you call a "cotter pin" in the US we refer to as a 'split pin' in the UK. Our cotter pins are used to hold the cranks onto a push bike center axle and have a chamfered side to gradually tighten onto the axle shaft as you knock them in.

    I used to work at a radiator shop and would occasionally find one of those that had a leak on the center tube. I could have a core made and un solder and re solder the top and bottom tanks or side tanks depending on the configuration. Sometimes those are just plugged up and there is no good way to shove a rode thru the ports. You can try but there is no way if it doesn't want to. The other bad thing is that if you have a tube that is leaking in the middle is that you have to solder the top and bottom of the header shut on that tube which deletes that tube. That is if you don't ruin the core in the process. Very expensive.

    I noticed that you changed out those two gate valves. I was wondering why you don’t use ball valves instead? It’s obvious when they are open as well as closed which I’m very sure you know. Is it a matter of room to install? Not a criticism in any way I love watching you guys, just an observation.
