    I see what you mean. I’ll double check the upper washer.

    Mass Air Flow sensor went out while test driving it. Installed one from another one of my rigs. Running once again.

    Fuel tank was a bit rusty but the fuel pickup tube fell off. Installed a new fuel tank, fuel pump and fuel sending unit.

    Put some new tires on the rig. Had a flat on the way to the smog shop.

    Making Progress but still waiting on the “JD7” tool.

    Steering clutch plates arrived. Waiting on the Pressure Plate measurement gauge. Once that arrives I can start putting it back together.

    Firewood?

    I think the Oaks in the Central Valley have a wide range of BTU output. The Valley Oak is also called a Swamp Oak. It grows where there is an abundance of water. When green, it cuts like white oak. There is so much moisture in the wood that you generally have to let it dry two years after it...

    Firewood?

    A limb split off a Live Oak. I was able to brush it out for a habitat pile and process the tree for firewood. It was over a 7’ drop off into a creek so I had to pull the log so it didn’t fall in the creek. I cannot believe the heat that Live Oak puts out.

    Chainsaw advice please

    I really like my MS 400. Light enough to process the entire tree and powerful enough to easily rip the blocks down to “fit in the stove” size. The sawdust “noodles” go in the neighbors chicken coop.

    New pressure plate arrived. Vendor forgot to put the clutch discs in the box before he shipped it.

    New hardware for the RockGuards. Snapped a few of the 1/2” bolts so have to drill them out.

    Drilling out broken bolts is always fun.

    Some of the linkage was not moving the way it should. The steering lever should snap back under spring tension. Removed everything and cleaned/polished it and reassembled. Works like it should

    Used engine install carriage to secure the final drive and worked my way around the housing with gasket scrapers to break it loose.

    Oak Railroad Ties make for some nice blocking to get the dozer off the ground.

    Tearing it down starts by removing the track. Removed a groused pad to get a better angle with the 8lb hammer and brass punch.

    It appears that the previous owner installed a crappy aftermarket pressure plate and never set the tension measurement correctly. The “J” shaped bracket is not correct on the pressure plate. It doesn’t come near the throw out bearing.
