Great video Jeff glad to see the other track frame off and upside down ready to start stripping it for the refurbishment. Jeff you may have a yard full of equipment and parts. But it saves you money when you need it too. Looking forward to your next video stay safe Jeff.

That’s not a junkyard. Some of the machines in that yard have made a lot money for many people in the United States and across the world , very reliable and efficient ……. a few scrapers and a D9 can move a lot of dirt. With good maintenance they can last a long time until a rebuild . I’m sure that old D9 of Jeff’s bought and paid for itself many times.. while you have other people that are buying new equipment and that are making a big payments.

Using stones to do a grind the seats when doing a valve job is perfectly fine if the equipment is not worn out and the stones are in good condition. That said I do believe it takes more skill to grind seat angles than using a carbide cutter but that is not to say that someone can’t screw up doing a valve job using a carbide cutter because I have seen plenty of examples of that over the years. I guess when it comes down to it using stones or cuutter(s) depends on whatever floats your boat and you are comfortable doing it

Anti-sieze story time. The tool truck 0/0 wouldn't warranty a socket for the truck shop. So the shop owner kept the tool truck operator busy, while the head mechanic with the broken socket went in the tool truck with a little anti-sieze. He just put a light pass under every drawer handle of the display tool boxes. You know everything in that truck had a silver tint by the end of the week.

Took tree limbs off everywhere, power off today, got to 104 today again. Power probably won't be back on till tomorrow afternoon.
