Could you weigh in with the information. I have a JD 420 crawler engine that was rebuilt several years ago in Alabama; sat in my brother in law’s shop for a few years as he wanted to use the crawler, and was getting around to the project someday. He passed away prematurely from pancreatic cancer at 59. The parts and pieces are now moved back home to my shop in Ohio. My concern that the annoying mud daubers prevalent in Alabama built nests in the engine. So before I start putting this thing back together, I want to look inside as much as I can to check on the status/cleanliness of the engine. A camera would be a big help. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Calibri Light",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Calibri Light",sans-serif">Dave Gerber<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Calibri Light",sans-serif">Ohio<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Calibri Light",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Calibri Light",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div style="border:none;border-top:solid #E1E1E1 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in"><p class="MsoNormal"><b>From:</b> AT <at-bounces@lists.antique-tractor.com> <b>On Behalf Of </b>Brice Adams<br><b>Sent:</b> Saturday, November 28, 2020 8:41 AM<br><b>To:</b> Antique Tractor Email Discussion Group <at@lists.antique-tractor.com><br><b>Subject:</b> Re: [AT] Curiosity killed the cat...hole in manifold ...

That may be difficult due to damage to the gasket when separating the two. However, assuming it is a hole in the manifold I sure would like to see and know where it is. Just out of pure curiosity. And to make sure it is the manifold not the head itself. So… since my curiosity is so high, I am thinking about purchasing the 2.7” Color Digital Inspection camera that Harbor Freight has on sale for $59.99. Could be c considered an extravagant purchase although there have been previous times when I had the need for one. Would be really nice for looking inside engine combustion chambers before pulling heads along with a few more practical uses. And since I’m only going to live once…. But have any ATIS members had experience with this particular inspection camera? And what has been your experience with inspection camera’s in general? Would hate to buy a useless toy.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">Dean VP<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">Apache Junction, AZ<o:p></o:p></p></div></div><p class="MsoNormal">_______________________________________________<br>AT mailing list<br><a href="mailto:AT@lists.antique-tractor.com" target="_blank">AT@lists.antique-tractor.com</a><br><a href="http://lists.antique-tractor.com/listinfo.cgi/at-antique-tractor.com" target="_blank">http://lists.antique-tractor.com/listinfo.cgi/at-antique-tractor.com</a><o:p></o:p></p></blockquote></div></div></div><span>_______________________________________________</span><br><span>AT mailing list</span><br><span>AT@lists.antique-tractor.com</span><br><span>http://lists.antique-tractor.com/listinfo.cgi/at-antique-tractor.com</span><br></div></blockquote></div></body></html>
