Amthagouda Repair

These are photos of Amthagouda repairs in spring 2010. I will post again to explain the repairs. For now...only photos:

The runner was installed backwards after one servicing. ...and for a reason that I do not recall (but will eventually), we needed to take the entire shaft assembly to the machine shop.



The manifold is fabricated in way that makes it very difficult to dis-assemble and assemble the main parts.


It doesn't help that the parts are quite heavy!

We broke two bearing pullers while trying to open the shaft assembly. Finally we designed a heavy duty puller of our own.




No easy access to grease the bearings!


We made the pulley/shaft key ourselves...and that maybe the reason we need such a big hammer to use a tapper lock pulley!
