$1 part takes out an engine. Foreign Debris destroys detroit diesel 6v92TA blower

I had no reason to try and run the engine after the sound was described to me. Time to just tear into the detroit diesel 6v92TA and find out what happened. This was drove in to the shop by the way.
A simple piece of FOD caused such damage. How did a hose clamp get into a blower is the real question?

I maintained several bus repair facilities during my career. We discovered that brake clean alcohol spray creates a serious explosion risk when it gets into solvent washstands. We had to institute a campaign to train all the mechanics to allow the brake clean alcohol to hit the floor and evaporate. Then you just mop up the small amounts of oil that remain on the floor. When the alcohol spray mixes with the mineral spirit based wash fluid, the flash point of the fluid drops to dangerously low temperatures. One of our mechanics was significantly injured when the fluid exploded in his face.

Quote from wikipedia: Acetone: At temperatures greater than acetone's flash point of −20 °C (−4 °F), air mixtures of between 2.5% and 12.8% acetone, by volume, may explode or cause a flash fire. It auto-ignites at 465 °C (869 °F).[19] Auto-ignition temperature depends upon experimental conditions, such as exposure time, and thus can be quoted as high as 535 °C.[81] The flame temperature of pure acetone is 1980 °C.

That’s good information. I’ve been spraying parts off with brake cleaner for years into a solvent tank for decades and never gave it much of a thought.

Scott, I meant to comment about the snow removal effort on the new 40X40 shelter. It looks as if Johnathan was using z 12' extendable painting stick. My suggestion is to use toilet plunger heads rather than rag tied over the end. Both the round and cup types have acme (square) threads as do the painting sticcks.

@cwmbc 4 ай бұрын

As a suggestion. When you next need to order any engine degreaser. Try. TFR. Traffic film remover. Used in the vehicle trade as a general car body detergent. But if you double the strength ratio of the cleaner in a spray bottle. It should work good. Worth a try on cost.

They sure could! But i can't help but think that in the 1850s, people would've outright refused to trust such a screaming, 2000rpm'ing thing, instead going for the trusty thump-woosh of an old steam engine purely out of gut feel. I reckon they'd run away the second it ramps up to full power. Not knowing that those detroit diesels will last them for decades while screaming along.

center the motor as close to the tractor as possible not at the end of the forks. You will be able to pick up a lot more weight

@clynesnowtail1257 4 ай бұрын

Yeah it looks like a 24"ish CG in front of the fork frame, which is already a mile in front of the front axle. If he can route the chains so as to use the fork frame as the pick point and the CG of the engine weight was under it, that would doubleish the lift capacity.

@clynesnowtail1257 4 ай бұрын

@@BassheadGTP The weight on the front tires is quite a bit more than you would think. As it is the fulcrum point, the weight is the combination of the engine weight, and the weight from the rear of the tractor necessary to counterbalance that engine weight. As weight is added to the forks, weight will come off the rear axle and move onto the front. Guesstimating, but a 5000lb engine+trans 6ft forward of the front axle would put 30,000 ft-lbs load on axle. If it was moved back to 4ft, it would be 20,000ft-lbs.
