Stayed late after work putting the pump together now that our welder was able to weld it together today. Last Friday I turned a sleeve w/ the new snap ring groove in it on the lathe and then put the pump housing in the vise on the VMC and bored it out for a light press fit. Champhered both peices and put them together.
I bought new bearing balls, wave washers, and snap rings from McMaster Carr through work. I went next door to a bearing supplier to get a new seal and O-rings. Total cost in parts is somewhere between $20-30.
I assembled it tonight, using white grease as my assembly lube and liberally coating everything. Chased the threads on the studs that held it together, used some new nuts, etc etc...
Went straight to the farm and put it on. Hardest part was getting the 165 started- I think the battery is junk from the charging system not working. Once I finally got it going, it was slow at first due to the oil being cold, but after 5-10 minutes the oil started flowing better and the pump works as good now as it did before. Pushed snow for 30-45 minutes and put it away for the night. Tomorrow Dad will put the chains on and try to make a path to the manure pile so he can move that from under the auger.
Figure I have about 6 hours of labor into it, maybe 7. I have more time than money, and some of these projects are fun to see if I can even do it.

But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
