Changed the oil in all engines.
Generator
- Mobil delvac mx 15-40
- New oil filter
Wing engine
- Shell Rimula R4 x (not quite enough. Oil is low to start!)
- Changed the oil filter
Main engine
- Halfords (2) 15-40
- Changed the oil filter
ZF transmission
- Yanmar genuine gear oil sae 30 (4L perhaps not enough). Recheck.
- NO NEW FILTER. WRONG FILTERS IN STORAGE!!!!
- Proper replacement part numbers Fleetguard HF 6316. Not sure the correct ZF part number but the ZF 3213308019 doesn’t have the proper spin on piece.
Wing engine is having difficulty starting.
Wing engine had a loose mount (port side astern) and a broken support on the cooling line (port side forward ) near transmission.
Unfortunately I can’t read your posts. WordPress does not like me! Stay safe!
Hi Cindy,
Some of my posts I keep private. I put up another post today. Let me know if you still can’t see it.
I am not a big follower of the family history, but I did discover yesterday that I am just a couple of hours away from Balmaghie, which I believe is where our familial last name came from. In fact Balmaghie house is for sale I think.
Barb told me that we have some history near a castle closer to Inverness, but I won’t make it that far until next year unfortunately.
I hope all is well.
