Counterweight removal was fun

Good day
Nice picts the portable workshop must have been a real plus, been a positive if the engine unit spun out with the counterweight.
Kind regards

That's an impressive job of shade tree technology. I wouldn't have thought of using a trailer as a working floor. Those structural pieces remind me of racking used in warehouses.

Thanks guys
The canopy framework was from an overhead swimming pool put together end to end.
Had the tarp custom made to fit with 12" centered grommets.

Me after 4hrs of using a 9" grinder and cutting wheel to make that reefer engine to fit.

I didn't mean to turn it into a workshop.
It was not easily moved.
My nephew picked it up and put it on the trailer with his little excavator

Nice work and "can do" inguinuity. Install etc looks clean and oem.

 

[djbobo]

It turned out well. Thanks.

While I had the welder and grinder out, I did this the that 3 pole weak canopy.

Of coarse I had to try it out!

Just did the same coupler r&r on my PC40. Not a bad job. At 6500 hours it looked like this. Rubber particles during stater replacement told me it was time for a new coupler.

 

[djbobo]

Identical looking after failed too.

This is preparing the Thermo King flywheel to weld my adaptor to a flat surface.
I know you machinist out there will have a good time with this one.
