Wisconsin Tacomas and bad financial advice

All I did was grind the sides down a bit. It was too wide to fit in the slots.
Now I need a hot pad and a oven mit.

 

Unused shop rag...just sayin'.

 

I saw about four brand new oven mitts & about a dozen hot pads in the dumpster last week.

 

Opened the starter motor completely.

Yummay!

 

Used shop rag. Has more seasoning.

 

A used shop rag in my dept is likely to have an extremely low flash point.
Just sayin'......

​

 

Rogersolite is a thing...

 

Does it leave an oily residue? I've tried some low voc washes and they all leave an oily residue. I very much dislike an oily residue left behind.

 

Nooo, it strips off anything and everything. Right down to bare metal. It works great for cleaning blankets, but you have to remember it eats through paint like a hot knife goes through butter!

 

I'm on more maintenance today.
We rarely use the 6th unit but I had a wrap up awhile back. Left the 6th unit about 4" out of phase with the other units. That's a lot....my phase adjustment on the console only has 6mm of movement total. 3mm forward and 3mm back.
Driveshaft > < 5th/6th slipped. It's actually designed to slip (the 2 aluminum collar on the right) to prevent gears in the units from busting.

 

More maintenance at home.

All clean.
The copper parts were black. Needed to use some emery cloth to get it off.
There's a couple small things that can be done to better waterproof it.

*some assembly required​

 

Mine's working like a champ now!

 

And it does wonders for your skin!

 

​

 

Now we have a trail spare.

 

How many parts were left over after reassembly?

 

The ones that really weren't needed!

 

You know that the copper windings on the stator have a coating on them rite?

 

I didn't know until I opened it up.
It's been awhile since I've opened one.

I swabbed the tight areas and cleaned everything with this.....
