Yes but they are the big old style Cat injectors. I need like a 2 1/2 spline socket and see if I can find new/reman injectors.

Probably not.
I didn’t like the **** show I had to do Friday night. Our senior journeyman machinist/millwright has turned into a first year apprentice. He spent 6 hours building up a shaft just to not put enough on. I had to rebuild it up Friday (4 hours of solid welding) night and called Zach in to finish welding.
Called the other machinist to see if he wants OT Saturday to machine it. Then helped him put the flail drum back together.
Was not a happy guy Friday night.

This was after I had slots milled into the base piece to correctly orient the flag and gusset to weld onto it. Then after this operation, a threaded hole, counterbore and spotface had to be milled into the flag that is sticking out the back. This was the welder’s 3rd attempt at getting it right. It ain’t rocket surgery. Had to get 10 done on Wednesday.

That had to suck Greg.

Googled"why chainsaws were invented". Didn't get the answer I was expecting.
