Shop Time w/T.W. Friends.

Bottom of reservoir on clutch master and fluid in it was dirty, very dirty.

 

Has it sat around for a while?
Might need to be driven to work a bit of rust off the input shaft splines? Dry pilot bearing?

 

Obviously it is the throw out bearing.
PS anyone takes my advice has much bigger problems than a sticky clutch

 

No, I believe it's been driven occasionally. I drove it back 2 hours almost from where I bought it, but that didn't require much shifting. The few times I've driven it to town it does seem to work a little better after driving.

 

A new everything inside that bellhousing is $250.00 roughly and a good days work.
The last time I did a clutch replacement it was a day and a half but I had the flywheel turned. That $250.00 includes a new one and a rear main seal. I didn't know to do that on the last one

 

think it's time to go forage through the kitchen and find breakfast. Some eggs, bacon and hashbrowns

 

My wife just made chicken sandwiches. Wendys could learn a thing or two from her.

 

Lunch time

Steak
Turnip
Carrots
Baked Potatoes

 

Sounds like lunch at the home.

 

It's actually an industrial smoke machine in the fire box and a commercial blower in the front.

 

Pork on smoker at work

 

I had a couple of slabs of leftover ham.

 

Fixed

 

TY
I had the excuse to steal the wife’s.
Mission accomplished..

 

Forgot to mention this. This is on the Siemens reps work truck! I told him I’d run to wal mart and buy him a new vise and swap with him but he wouldn’t bite.

 

Nice vise

 

They're all over at my work, I've got 2 in the machine shop. I forget how much$$$ last time I priced one. If I had to guess, $800.00
I'd like to get a Ridgid pipe clamp for the steel table in the machine shop. Bet they aren't cheap either

 

The guy said he thought his boss paid either $800 or $900 for it. I just couldn’t imagine buying a nice tool like that and letting it live on the back of a truck to get ruined.

 

Agree, it is a really nice tool. The Wilton "Bullet" is designed just for the roughest, dirtiest service with a completely enclosed spindle, he couldn't have a better tool for the job than the Bullet.

I have seen hundreds of vices on the back of service trucks, if kept sprayed down with some oil they last ok back there. A solid handy vice saves time on a job and makes money, in the end it is an item that can be written down on the tax forms too.

 

I see no issue with a vice on the back of the truck. It can handle it just fine.

If it's used, it will work perfectly.
