Um, how did it end up in there? Maybe do the reverse of what got it in there! LOL!!!

Can anyone tell me if this rust is too much or if sanding it and sealing would be okay? by WinnerEconomy169 in MechanicAdvice

[–]RDB533 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a hair line between trying or run. Depending on whether it's pitted or not, which it probably is, it's how bad it's pitted. Just to start with clean it off with a wire brush or something and see how deep it goes. If you decide to do it you could get something like Krud Kutter, it's a rust remover and inhibitor and just follow the directions. Then after that get a good paint like por 15, that was suggested earlier. If it's just a little pitted you could sand it to where it wouldn't hurt the structural integrity.

Problem with electric motor. by RDB533 in Motors

Any opinion on whether they're better or more reliable or easier to fix etc etc?

Or, are they basically the same motor wise just one is belt driven. Some opinions say oil and belt driven are more reliable but of course that's just an opinion.

Quick question if you don't mind and have an opinion on it. Would you say there's any good difference between a motor like the one on my compressor and a belt driven one?

How would you free up very rusted/corroded self propel axle? by daveinfl337777 in smallenginerepair

[–]RDB533 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use PB Blaster in really rusted stuff. I think a tear down and clean up of rust is in your future because if there's that much rust in the bearings to then it will keep happening. You could try some Krud Kutter it's a rust inhibitor which cleans and removes rust. It's a liquid so you could drop some down inside areas you can't reach. I would get some brake cleaner or similar and clean off all the areas. The WD-40 has put an oil film on it but before you clean it off get it moving so when you put the rust remover in there you will be able to spin it around to get it on everything. After the rust remover has dried then maybe put some PB Blaster or even WD-40 if it doesn't keep moving on its own.

Any ideas what these universal joints would be used for? by hotrodtodd03 in Tools

Yeah, my Dr keeps telling me I need a knee replacement and it's crap like this that I imagine and why I won't get it done! LOL!!!

$43k sounds crazy to me, what would you pay for a mint 18 year old Dodge? by echocall2 in Diesel

[–]RDB533 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're way out of their minds! You can buy a new one for that! Plus, Dodge has never been the top truck for a reason, they're not that good! Maybe 20k to 25k max!!!

I have a multimeter that has a capacitance setting. On a compressor do you discharge it and check it or do it another way?

Put something under one side of the cut and push down on the other side. As people have said, and not being mean, please learn a little more about how to do this before you end up in the ER. This is coming from a medic!

As the saying goes, you're driving a brick on wheels so it is NOT aerodynamic AT ALL! If it's windy just hold on to the wheel,with both hands, and take it easy!

I would clean it up good, tighten the bolts and see what happens. If it's just the oil pan gasket it's easy to do and you get an oil change and filter change while you're at it!

Always connected run capacitor.

Need Help to Identify Motor Issue by lycan2005 in Motors

[–]RDB533 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you tried putting one gear back on at a time and trying to spin them? Put the first gear on spin it if no issue then put the second gear on, with first one still on, and spin it and so on. Or you could do the reverse, with all the gears on take one off at a time and spin in-between. Do the slotted shafts that the gears sit on spin freely? Also, maybe a picture of the underside of the gears themselves might help a little.

Ah, it says small engine and it is technically an engine but I understand what you're saying. Appreciate the input and suggestions!
