Thats a shock

 This is the valve cover on the 7.3 in the shop at school. I took the cover off because iv never seen wires integrated into a gasket before. Don't poke holes in wires you could get shocked says the manufacture.

The glow plugs take alot of current to run them.

Schooling in Motion

 plastic gauge it came in within specification the tolerance the kobota book called for were .0007 to .0020 and we measured .0015

 upon disassembling this motor we found no rings. one thing i can take from this motor dissembly is i know the names for the parts allot better and there locations on the motors. another piece of information i learned it the 4 Cly are a shaky motor due to being only a 4. one thing kobota did to stop this is add weight balancers ran off an idler gear.

this is a corroded battery i found at work on a service i did. just tells you always check every thing when servicing machiniory

kubota

30 hours of work last week and 12 hours of school

Today my group and i started the disassemblly on the kubota 3300 diesel motor. I noticed it doesn't take  long to get in a chest deep out of order dirty mess when disassembling a motor. We got the head off and were into the tops of the pistons in a totals of 20 Min's. but something i saw others doing is taking card board and labeling it then sticking there parts into for a tidy little package.

Caution Learning in Progress

 This is a capture on the modis for the blower motor on the black dodge. the blower motor has a resistor box. the box gives the motor less resitanc as the switch is turned up.

The picture here is of a little dc motor we built in class.
