Rebuilding the D14 backhoe/loader

I be thinking Shameless doesn't want to worry about anyone finding his tractors on Google Earth.

   Hey DickL,,I did a little cruising on the web but only found the following.. The Pistons were made by Comformatic Piston Co for the Pow'r Seal Engine Kits of days gone by. They were built along the lines of the M&W Turbo Dome pistons. Couldn't find any more specifics,,but it is what it is,,as far as I'm concerned. I mike'd the piston to valve clearance and no interference issues there. Charging ON,,I say,,,,!!! Thanks for your help,,,

OK,,,,,,and how many of your " money in the ground" holes are you gonna have to dig up to pay for this monsterous palace in the ground,,,,??

I ain't gots enough "loaded" holes Joe....they wants $3.2 million for it! the driveway is about a little over a 1/2 mile long and is done in all paver bricks! along with the electric remote controlled gated entry! I might hafta sell a few more pickups or suburbans!

    Mr. Lemmon,,,once again,,Thanks for putting with my questions,,,but I'm learning from these.
    I forgot to mention on the cylinder head assembly, tell me what you think,,,? I always install the old style Rambler "cup" seals or "umbrella" seals as they call em now, on the intake valves. This helps control the intake valve sucking oil down into the combustion chamber. The valve guides on this head were nice and snug but what's to hurt with the cup seals,,huh,,?? Granted they are not a "positive seal" such as the pressed on valve seals available for worn valve guides,,, but,,???
On the front seal,,,if you drive the new seal onto the cover,,,THEN very CAREFULLY center the cover over the crankshaft snout,,,, and then lash down the cover bolts,,,you should be good to go,,,HUH,,?? It's odd the AC engineers didn't design locating dowell pins at the bottom of cover,,cause there are two locating pins at the governor opening,,,??

    Well,,,Guess what,,,,? IT'S ready to go in,,,,, the 149 er,,,156 is ready to go in the D14 and get lashed up,,!! wound up it being a pretty good engine,,just needed a little TLC and a fistfill of dollars,,, Ground the valves as per the manual. Did find one of the rocker arm stands was cracked in the vertical all the way thru and one push rod was bent. (Lookin for these two items now) The oil pump had been leakin for some time and was a mess back there. Took the pump out and found a bad gasket but am glad I pulled the pump. There was excessive clearance (.025) between the rotor and the back plate,,! The book calls for .002. I was not able to chuck the plate in my lathe to take a cut on it. Pulled the pump off the original D14 engine and rotor clearance miked out at,,,,,,.002,,,Heavens to Betsy,,,!!!! Got some of Shameless's "Rattle Cans" and did the trick on the engine,,,Looks pretty good. Having to fix a flat on the dolly and will wheel it around to " Put it in"
I need some suggestions from the group.
I have a big "A frame" type engine puller made out of 2" pipe and want to install some wheels on it to be able to move it back and forth when you have a load on the chain hoist. I have 4 8" pneumatic tires that I think would work good as far as being able to roll around if I can figure a way to install em on the A Frame,,,,,
Any ideas,,,???    THANKS

   Well Darrel,,,I'd have to go pull a Shameless and dig up another coffee can of dollar bills is why I wanted to use what I have here. Plus them being Pneumatic will make it easier to roll on the dirt, where the D14 is now,,,,cause,,,,cause,,,, there is NO WAY the Chairman is going to stand for me moving another of our cars out from under the carport just to put "another one of your dang tractors under there". You see,,,I had to move her favorite Toyota Sequoia out to get the D15 under there,,,,so,,,moving the other car out ain't gonna fly too swift,,,,,
Anyway, I was thinkin makin some "U" shaped frames out of some 3/8" X 3" strap I have, with a removable 5/8" axle and a 1" or so piece of cold roll to go up into the 2" A Frame leg and still swivel,,,,,,,????
make sense,,??

they sell new car ports for $675. erected! whew!

because you kin puts the new car port outs back fer yer old ladys....oooops....I mean yer loving wifes car, then you gots the other one to works in! PffffT! do I gots to show you everthang?

   Well,,,,now that you mention it,,,I could use that big mesquite and hang 'ta other end of the pipe,,on it huh,???? but I don't like workin round them cactus's too much cause they all got shootin spines,,,,!!! you just gotta walk within a coupl'a feet of em and they shoot them spines at you,,,,and,,,,and,,,them spines got a poisom on the tips that burns awful,,,!!!

how you know I got cactus's anyhow,,,???

we tried to move one of them cactus's once with the ferd dually, came home with a bent bumper!

Joe, them cactus can't really shoot spines, can they? And maybe ole SHAMELESS was fetching tarp straps nekid like he supposedly does everything else, and that was why all the accidents were caused. People were covering their eyes when they were driving. Darrel

Joe,

Was this the one you were looking for the continue of the D 14 rebuild?

It is the choke rod for the Carb.

Joe that is about the right place for the rod to end based on the one that was on my d17.   The instrument panel on the d17 has a support brace that hangs down there sort of like a triangle shaped opening behind the instrument panel and there was a little u shipped hanger there that held the choke cable you had to reach around the instrument panel to pull the choke rod.
