New tools!

More tools!

So I recently started working at a shop that mostly does diesel(which I've been wanting to learn for a LONG time).

Anyways, I found out that my favorite tool guy - Mac has this on his route. So I bought two ratchets, a new pocket screwdriver and got my other ratchet repaired.

If you look hard enough you will see a mixture of Mac and Snap On ratchets of all sizes and lengths and style of head. I have been a big big fan of Mac tools for many many years. You can't go wrong with their tools.

I have some Mac tools but we don't have a dealer around here so it is really tough to justify purchasing them.

I always look at ebay and then negotiate and ask for a military discount, for Mac, Snap On, SK, Matco tools.

Not mine, but you can see where he's coming from.

Btw, tractors aren’t the easiest to get up on jack stands, wasn’t for me anyway

Is there a shield between the muffler and the alternator? If not, there should be.

No but there’s a shield between the alternator and lower radiator hose.

I guess that's for if the hose pops while you're out in the field...it might not short out the alternator? But yeah, seems like a shield is needed between the alternator and muffler.
I have seen boxes like that before, but didn't know what they are called. So thanks for that enlightenment!

 

[movietvet]

You could make a shield and have a mount tab attach at the top alt adjustment bolt.

Orion A/C gauges and Robinair 15500 vacuum pump (2-stage, 5cfm) - hope they don't suck, and optimistic I can become proficient with A/C work.. something I aspired to more than half a lifetime ago, but plans changed. This entire time I've farmed out A/C work on every vehicle, but my go-to on that has disappeared, so I'm gonna venture forth into it myself. Wish me luck, and prepare for tons of questions (hopefully, not tons, as I read through factory manuals and such, first.)

I was honestly looking at the exact kit local to me on marketplace, local shops won't do anything for less than $200 and even then they don't want to do anything more than a recharge.
