I spoke today about that, Its April 2018, they switched his orders from Africa to Germany for 6 weeks, but they may change again due to him having issues running, he tried Airborne Ranger School, cracked up some bones on a bad landing years ago, its affecting him running & keeps failing the run on his PT Test, Then he may go to the Desert in Nevada i think he said, Its hard to find a Good Soldier, But Our Sons have Great Fathers so it will always work out ! But your right about Horsie sitting, i said ill bring the D, 1054 & if any luck a GT14 along 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dells68 7,498 #178 Posted December 31, 2017 Well, I finally pulled the flywheel from the Briggs that locked up. Turns out that about 4 magnets decided to turn loose. The alternator ring seems ok. Guess that I got lucky. Gonna have to source a flywheel and save it for another project. Now, I've got another excuse to find another project after my bank account has a chance to recover from Christmas. 6 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AMC RULES 37,141 #179 Posted December 31, 2017 Good news, If that's all that happened... should be able to clean up that flywheel, glue your magnets into place and, be back in business. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've rotated the crank by hand and everything seems good. Good compression, smooth, and no weird noises. What type of glue would I use that I could trust? I feel pretty lucky that no more harm was done than this. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Probably wouldn't work though. Right now I'm working on an entertainment center that I promised the wife I'd build her for Christmas. She's used to me working in the garage - she knows it's my therapy. Keeps me sane. She's the same way about school stuff (she teaches k, I teach 2nd) - she loves to read about school stuff and work on things for her class at night. When I get home, I need something different and the horses give Emory and I some quality time together. 3 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
