Re: [MBZ] Okie alignment

[Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes]

I checked and they all appear to be working. I then had the thought that 
perhaps the toe is so far out on the front that the wheel on that side is 
cocked out enough to where there is not a line of sure to the back sensor. Sure 
enough turning the wheel a little fixed that issue. For some reason I’m getting 
an error for the RF saying the toe transducer has a problem. That’s the error I 
was getting when I would block the eye, then that error would pop up for a 
second before going to the sensor blocked error. I’m done messing with it for 
today but I think what I’m going to when to do is just a straight 2 wheel 
alignment first to get the toe correct, then do a 4 wheel. Will see how it goes 
tomorrow. Otherwise I will take it down somewhere to have it done as I’m going 
to need to start driving the car week after next.

I might keep an eye out for a new set of sensor heads but the ones I found at 
the moment they are asking more than I paid for the whole setup.

[MBZ] Okie alignment

[Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes]

Been messing with this alignment machine learning all about it today. I have 
the car setup and the sensor heads compensated but I can’t get the 2 left 
sensors to see each other. These have a IR beam from to back on each side; then 
side to side on the front. At first the fronts could not see each other but one 
of them had a mess of cob webs in the opening covering the eye. Cleaned that 
out and they are fine. Now i still can’t get the left side to cooperate. If I 
put my hand over the lens then remove it, machine says there is a problem with 
the beam, then goes back to saying it’s blocked. It’s clear, nothing is in the 
way, no cob webs blocking anything. Of course with this blocked I can’t get a 
full set of readings 

I may have to throw in the towel and take the car somewhere Monday to get 
aligned.

They should put one on either side of the oil well in front of the State

There is a wind farm going in around here. They are paying $20k per year per 
turbine to put it on your land. I’m aiming to get 5-6 of them installed, maybe 
more. I need to get more details on this.

The first one does have the tricycle landing gear upgrade, might be worth
salvaging.

There was a guy here on this island that had most of a D18 sitting at his front 
gate. Not sure whatever happened to it. I think he was retired pilot and died a 
few years ago. I should go look and see if it is still there. Let’s see, would

There is an Okie acres for just about everything. Yesterday I was driving thru 
the middle of nowhere Missouri and a guy had a pasture full of hundreds of old 
broken down backhoes, and various other earth moving equipment. There is a guy 
not too far from me that has hundreds and hundreds of old riding and mush 
mowers sitting in his pasture.

Another neat trick is a movable chain fall.
Not really necessary if you're just rolling scrap cars in, lifting the 
engines, and rolling them back out, but the bee's knees for remove and 
reinstall.


I've seen two ways of doing that.
One guy put an upright pole in wheel bearings, with an arm jutting out.
He swings it over the engine bay, lifts the engine, and swings the 
engine out of the way.


The better setup has a 6" I-beam attached to several trusses, and a 
chain fall on a trolley, using the beam for a track.

Re: [MBZ] Okie shop

Good point.
A friend probably paid about as much for his 4' racks as I paid for my 
MBZ collection. OTOH, in the past he's forklifted RX-7s onto those 
racks, but not the ones along the walls. Actually, I'm not sure if any 
of his racks are on the walls, or if he can walk around all of them to 
pile parts on the back side. But I'm pretty sure his warehouse is bigger 
than Kleb's, it's maybe 80' wide and over 100' deep.

It looks like most of what is pictured is 48" deep uprights. I choose to go
for 32 inch deep rack because 4' deep shelves are too deep to easily get
access to whatever is pushed to the back. Plus, I didn't want to give up 4
ft of the perimeter of the building. Also, narrower racks are not as
popular with warehouses which usually use both sides in long pallet rack
runs, so it's cheaper..
Keep looking, the right deal will come. With the present economy, there are
a lot of stores closing, so should be a bunch of "slightly used"
pallet rack on the market in near future.
You decide what will best work for you.

Re: [MBZ] Okie shop

[G Mann via Mercedes]

I almost always work by myself, so moving a dead car onto a rack, or around
the shop is a pain.
That's why my rule is make it easy, straight in, straight out, and use your
concrete drill to drive a thread insert to mount a pull point for a
electric winch then let your finger pull in the car.. you'll feel a lot
more like working on it when your back doesn't hurt from horsing it into
position to lift.
Cheat when you can. ;))

Re: [MBZ] Okie shop

[G Mann via Mercedes]

It is older heavy duty rack, not bent [do NOT buy bent rack, it will hurt
you] the paint is crappy, so it's not pretty, but it's solid. I got the
whole batch for $350. Later went back and bought more cross beams [to make
more shelves.. another $250. So, all in $600.
You need a helper to set up the racking.. don't try 12 ft uprights by
yourself..

Re: [MBZ] Okie shop

[Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes]

There are 2 other overhead doors, but the 2 smaller ones are right 
across from each other at the back as seen in the photos. Neither of 
those would work very well for straight in.

Yes, straight in, straight out, to the lift, with a winch to pull a dead

I also suggest you add a second door, and move the angled lift to line up
with the second door [Presuming there is clear space for access outside
where the door would go.]  Same thing, straight in, straight out. Then you
actually can use the second lift, instead of shoehorning a car into an
angle.
[It's always easy to spend somebody else's money, so cut a hole and buy
another door.. haha]
Just a suggestion to make the shop work for you, instead of you working for
it... easy is the word of the day.

bolt an attachment point to the floor to mount a winch, and at the other

Re: [MBZ] Okie shop

[G Mann via Mercedes]

Yes, straight in, straight out, to the lift, with a winch to pull a dead
car, instead of breaking your back trying to push it in, or out.
I also suggest you add a second door, and move the angled lift to line up
with the second door [Presuming there is clear space for access outside
where the door would go.]  Same thing, straight in, straight out. Then you
actually can use the second lift, instead of shoehorning a car into an
angle.
[It's always easy to spend somebody else's money, so cut a hole and buy
another door.. haha]
Just a suggestion to make the shop work for you, instead of you working for
it... easy is the word of the day.

Re: [MBZ] Okie shop

[G Mann via Mercedes]

The best investment I've made is to buy a good size load of industrial
grade used pallet rack, with cross beams and floor panels. Then, buy a fork
lift that works to lift heavy stuff up on the shelves.
The pallet rack I have is 12 ft tall, the fork lift I have will lift 12
ft.  Bolt the pallet rack to the floor, and the building walls, so it is
"tip resistant" [unless you do something really stupid].
THEN, organize all the "stuff" that is taking up floor space on the racks
where you can get to it. Suddenly, you can find stuff for each project car
because you allocated rack space to THAT project.
Suddenly, you have work space for each car instead of clutter..
Go vertical young man.. !!  You will be glad you did.

Every time I have tried to sell small items on CL or eBay it has ended up being 
more work and hassle than was anywhere close to being worth the time for the 
money.

If you have stuff you haven't touched in 5 - 10 years (some would say less), 
unless it is some kind of family heirloom/keepsake, get rid of it.

The hardest part is figuring out what to do with all the crap. I have a couple 
of additional shelving units to put it but I don’t think even that will be 
enough. 

I think putting it straight in the door would be easier to get a non opp car on 
it and would probably net more room to work around it, but I want to also 
maximize area to store cars indoors.  When I say store cars I mean running cars 
that I can easily pull in and out when I need the space for work.

Place it so that it is easiest to get a car on it, especially if it can't
move under its own steam. Also, minimized the available space for cramming
in other cars - the fewer in there at one time, the more room (easier) to
work on those that are there.
Sheesh, that mess looks a LOT like my hangar now ...

Re: [MBZ] Okie shop

[Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes]

I was thinking of angling it to the left of that other lift, toward the smaller 
door. If I do it to the right it will be a real tight turn trying to get it in. 
If I do it straight in, if far enough in I would have room to park cars behind 
it and should have room to the right to get around it and park cars in that 
spot to the left of the other lift, as well as to the right of it.

Re: [MBZ] Okie acres tire disposal

[G Mann via Mercedes]

Use your backhoe or front loader to dig a pit, then sprinkle some diesel on
them, then a sprinkle of gas [stale gas if you have it] with a trail out of
the pit... pitch a match on the trail, let the gas fire off the diesel,
which fires off the tires... Then you have a contained fire that you can
bury over when you're done... A tire fire throws off a lot of heat and
smoke, so you might draw someone's attention with a fire call.

I have a growing problem of waste tires at Okie acres. Been trying to figure

barn. Piled up in various places. Apparently there is some group in town 
looking for used tire donations. For some fund raiser but not sure how that 
would work. Oooo. I got plenty of tires. I rounded them all up in a pile 
and they are coming to get them today. I’m getting ready to head to the airport

I had terrible water problems in our basement until I reworked the gutter on

 The levees themselves are fine. It’s just the water that runs off the roof 
 of the shop collects between the shop and the levee and gets up to the 
 level of the concrete pad then starts coming in. I went back out last

We had big rains some years ago and Angie asked if I was worried about 
flooding. I explained that if we flooded Boston would be 900 feet under water...

My house in the PNW has "French Drains" which prevent my garage from
flooding. What you are describing sounds like basically the same thing.

Yeah dig a trench around the perimeter of the building, put in some 
gravel then a drain pipe with gravel over, then connect it to a drain 
going out to your retention pond or ditch or whatever.  Kind of a 
reverse septic field.  You want to get the water from around the building.

The levees themselves are fine. It’s just the water that runs off the roof of 
the shop collects between the shop and the levee and gets up to the level of
