    Ditch Witch J20 x3

    Figured I'd put these here since it's the most size-suited location & DW isn't listed elsewhere. As a package deal picked these things up last week after eying them for months & their being on FB Marketplace (other than local town page or club groups the MP is all I use FB for). Still have to go...

    DITCH WITCH J20 - Stinger Chain Removal

    Trying to find information on the DITCH WITCH J20 trencher. Particularly what's involved in detaching the stinger as I'm unsure if the chain can be removed or not by simply by releasing tension & removing the chain if the shaft goes all the way across like on the much larger units. Ad only has 1...

    MF 65 - starter tips

    The Delco12v with the same part# I have mentions 10 & the Lucas also claims 10 teeth. I still need to double check mine but should be the same. DO see 9 tooth mentioned further down but it's 2-bolt. Recently sent a Roosa Master off to to Dieseltech for someone & got it back. The cam pin broke...

    MF 65 - starter tips

    Recently picked up an MF 65. Going by the SN of CNM 679862 so it's a late 1960 model. Even came with a set of new tires (separate). Seller had purchased it with intent to get it running but had a backhoe turn up so it just sat. Per seller it will run with spray but not diesel which says the...

    '71 Roosa Master DBG cam pin split

    The topside of the cam ring has a hole opposite the pin it looks like. Some kind of retainer that fits in the upper housing that's snug between the walls & has a peg sized to properly fit in the hole could hold it still. Then it becomes a matter of making sure everything is properly centered.

    Sending DM* EDIT*: As soon as I can get some finds I thought I had sorted...straight.

    '71 Roosa Master DBG cam pin split

    Using a dremel then looks like only option to preserve the housing. Equipment dealer I checked with also would've likely tried a weld method among who knows what else but turned it down for liability reasons. Understandable if anything were to happen on their part they'd be owing a pump. The...

    '71 Roosa Master DBG cam pin split

    Understood on the cam ring. Lift & timing differences etc. So sure they'll fit but won't work or correctly. Won't know this pump's for certain until removed. As destroying the housing is the point of no return how millable you think the very hard metal pin is in such a confined space...

    '71 Roosa Master DBG cam pin split

    So check that the housing has the brass bushing. Will request end-on confirmation where needed. Since the shaft stayed behind on the loader they used brass? All salvageable internals plus the head would be swapped over. Found a good serviceable 4 lobe cam IF necessary. Any whole pumps was...

    '71 Roosa Master DBG cam pin split

    Any of the DB housings should be compatible? Besides fact of needing to find or make covers for triangular timing windows if a housing is missing it. Most I'm finding are DB2s. Some complete DBGs turn up cheap with same style body parts I'm after but don't have the patience for another...

    '71 Roosa Master DBG cam pin split

    Weld attempt only eventually succeeded in shearing 90% of what was left of the head. Leaving the shank & lower part of a ball edge. Bright side is it leaves more working room. Time to find the Dremel or invest in one & lots of little grinder heads. Also now to check msgs.

    '71 Roosa Master DBG cam pin split

    Unfortunately the only dedicated machine shop that I knew to exist in my area...the old man retired a years ago now. Must've already been in his 70s at the time. Last time I saw him was about 6 years ago to take a warped 22R head to be planed. Have 1 last thing to try. Have a 12 pt 3/8 deep...

    '71 Roosa Master DBG cam pin split

    <Insert hesitant towel throwing> It's great finding a bunch of tear down guides but would be good if could also find those that include pin extraction. RIP 2 more Torx. Those pins are some HARD material. Set back up to try again using a basic heat treated Torx & used sharp impacts this time on...

    '71 Roosa Master DBG cam pin split

    Scratch 1 T45 Torx. Only one I had was a cheap DuraLast that was already a tad distorted...not impact grade but did tap firmly into place. The RYOBI impact driver (not the drill but one using the 1/4 hex stuff) tried but only succeeded in eventually stripping the rest of the Torx tip after...
