it always makes me laugh at what pictures my camera decides to take
a mock up transmission for the build.... the guy had it rebuilt, 3 months later it died - he put a t350 in its place. When I got it home, I noticed that the torque converter rattles... rattles... while I'm not an expert on torque converters, I do know that rattling is bad. My initial thought was it broke the sunshell hub, now I think that's probably fine but the torque converter sent lots of metal through the motor - so at minimum it will need a complete rebuild.... no biggie, it was really cheap (like cheaper than a core, cheap)
between the 6" of rain we got in an hour (amazing), the power going out and the basement flooding - I did get the washer finished... I'm quite happy with the result
so I made a funnel to drain back into the solvent tank. I plan on a pump as well, but for now, I'm using a siphon system
I left the pipe in the cup to allow sediment to settle and to also get a chance of saving bolts that drop from going into the 5 gallon container
I do need to do a better job of sealing around the top/base... other than that... it's operational
