Not enough stuff. I would want a few MEP generators and a fuel tanker or 2.

One of mine simply moved the iron pipe when we were out!

If you have a mortgage, the lienholder usually has a survey. If you have title insurance, a survey was required. Maybe there is a survey you don't know about. Title insurance company has to defend any claims on property they insure.

There is an end bearing on the generator that should be repacked before running for an extended time. Grease gets old. When you have the endcap off, you check that the brushes move freely in their holders, connections good, no corrosion or loosies, that the commutator/ sliprings are clean. You...

Well, it ain't that old, says a guy got a 1951 mil surplus generator that was built on a 1938 design. It is my backup. Since yours has been sitting a long time, after installing fresh fluids and filters, I would look hard at pulling injectors and pouring motor oil in cylinders. I usually pull...

kc5mzd, I appreciate your taking the time to post. It is a reminder to me, and others that when moving, there is a LOT more than finding a house that the wife likes in a good neighborhood. I don't know how it works in Texas, but here, if you got it before they change the rules of the game...

I think we are all on the same page here - When I said don't buy anything, I was responding to your post #18 where you said "and should I buy a case of filters in order to have a life-time supply?

Don't buy anything until you find out if your engine is repairable. You say you rebuilt Engines & trans in past. You KNOW metal on drain plug and filter full of metal flake means serious damage, and usually $$$. Follow my post 16 - If you have an air wrench, it will go fast. From what you have...

Yes. Look for an oil issue - low/ no oil pressure. Pulling pan and rod/main bearing caps will give you a good idea if it is economically feasible to rebuild, or cheaper to buy another engine.

Easiest and cheapest way to check spedo accuracy is to compare it with GPS indicated speed. My civi vehicles are spot on to 60 MPH, then they start reading high - on my truck - a bit high at 65, 2 MPH at 70, 3 at 75, 4 or 5 at a brief 80.

Looks like the lining material was old, brittle and dry when installed on shoes.

You can clear fouled plugs by heating the tip insulator with a propane torch.

If any of them factory guys is still alive, you would make them proud.

Make sure it was fuel burning, not engine oil. Suggest moving it so you can put it in 5th and ease clutch if somehow it happens again.

The only difference I have found is when you look at "MY ACTIVITY", it only shows the last 30 days.

Were you able to save the flywheel?

[thumbzup] Great work. I know how frustrating it is when the unexpected happens, and the best solution is beyond your control.

:tank: And if the turret works, mighty handy. Keep rif-raf, thieves, evil doers, etc. away :shock:
