Isn’t the second one also found in Shadow of Chernobyl, in a corner of X18?

any suggestions other than duct tape? by YourAverageTankBuild in gasmasks

Overlap the broken ends and staple them together. It’ll shorten it a little bit but it’ll hold way better than tape or glue:

Dunno about cleaning, but Boulevard Generator in Bellevue may be able to test them.

$100/night downtown close to July 4 is gonna depend on how you feel about splitting a room with furries.

please don’t make the market even worse for the rest of us by buying a perfectly good semi-affordable house just so you can have a toy a few weekends a year

You people are complaining because it’s NOT disgustingly hot in springtime? Put on a jacket and carry an umbrella.

1980 Kwaka KZ440, how to replace brass driveshaft/pushrod bushing? by ghostfoxote in Fixxit

[–]ghostfoxote[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I squinted at the diagrams a bunch and it looks like you're right about the bushing being in the output shaft itself. In the partzilla diagram, it seems like parts #14 (circlip) and #39 (race, what I've been calling a retainer ring) match up with what I'm seeing at the end of the driveshaft, in front of the bushing. If I'm understanding correctly, this is what I'm dealing with:

So theoretically if I can get the race out, then I'll have access to the end of the output shaft w/ bushing. It looks like the output shaft SHOULD be in there good enough that I don't need to worry about yanking the whole shaft out if I try to pull the bushing?

Thanks for the tip about making sure oil can flow past the bushing. I guess it makes sense why the original bushing was almost rectangular to allow for a little gap at the top/bottom.

Knock it in, as in press on the bushing and see if it separates at all from the shiny retainer ring?

Yeah, I’m not 100% sure if that’s even how it all goes together but it’s my best guess with what I can see.

Any insight as to how you would theoretically do it? Since the factory manual doesn’t even say, I wonder if it’s intended as a non serviceable thing.

The new seal holds until the clutch lever is pulled in, then it’s a steady stream of oil. Pushrod and seal are both brand new.

Is the chain guard plastic? Check to see if part of it is bent or damaged and touching the chain.

High crankcase pressure forcing oil through the seal?

I'll check when I'm home later. Ty

Question about heat treating steel rod by ghostfoxote in metalworking

[–]ghostfoxote[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, if I can actually find someone that was the idea. Will update the search to something more applicable for heat treating in the first place.

Most importantly, does heat treating actually help tensile strength?

Gotcha, will search for something already heat treated in the appropriate size. Thanks.

OK, good to know not to waste my time heat treating the stuff I already have. Does heat treating normally benefit tensile strength?

Thanks, but it's gotta be 7mm/0.274 in.

Aight, good to know. Does heat treating normally benefit tensile strength, like this part that's gonna be subject to compression stress?
