Disassembly and reassembly of Stanadyne injection pump in a miller big diesel welder

[@westerntruckandtractorrepa1353]

Thank you for the shout out 😊. You did great on that pump .

[@DirtPerfect]

No problem and thanks your way better at it then me 😁

[@johnnyrich8436]

Nice job they're perfect

[@BroHay1025]

I dont possess the same mechanical knowledge, but those moments when you tackle something (prepared for either outcome) and are successful. I have scratched my head when paying others to fix things (b/c it is a time vs learning how) , if they are knowledgeable. Older diesel engines seem to run if fuel/air/oil are present and not governed by computer. Thanks for demystifying this particular injection pump and who knows what I may try to tackle in the future. Fairly new, but enjoy the variety of content.

[@sheemondallasgeorgia]

Fantastic! I seriously doubted this will ever run. You really proved me wrong. Hallelujah!

[@greggb3079]

Great video. I loved seeing your grinning ear to ear when that thing fired off. Fruits of your labor, yields you a nice running piece of equipment. Thank you sir.

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks Gregg

[@greggb3079]

Dirt Perfect I forgot to mention, loved the Jr., Supervisors stopping by to check on your progress... Ha, ha...

[@ronaldheit196]

Mr. DP. Watching this vlog. I've no doubt you'd have made Coast Guard Chief Aviation Machinist Mate in record time. Doing an P&W R1820-53 radial engine change, GE T58 Turboshaft or main rotor transmission change on a Sikorski Seaguard helo would have been a breeze with you in charge. I've done all 3 of those. Tain't easy but we got 'er done. Heck, I bet you'd have gotten assigned to be an instructor at AD (Aviation Machinist Mate A school in Elizabeth City N.C. as a 1st class AD. Yup, you got the demeanor ability to teach students safety wire technique and other lab classes. That fuel pump/governor rebuild was definitely outstanding proof ya got what it takes for that slot. I'm dead serious Mike. I'd have been proud to serve with you or to have had you as one of my instructors.

[@leicesterGentlemen]

Glad I found this, I just bought a miller welder/gen doesn't run, was told guy was welding and it ran out of fuel, put fuel back in it wouldn't start back, I'm thinking it's the pump, now I know more than I did...lol

[@w056007568]

Absolute congratulations on your dogged persistence to achieve your goal with this machine. You are much more brave than I would be to tackle the breakdown and repair of that injection pump.

[@jratsouthfork]

Well done from across the pond in the UK.. congratulations Mike Regards from Jim

[@danielpullum1907]

This pump was clearly not your first rodeo! Your knowledge flat out blows my mind. Great video even if you don't get it to run. Good Luck!!!

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks

[@justinmccann3659]

Nice work and great video! Thanks - gave me the info and confidence boost I needed to dig into my 7.3 idi version of that pump. I'm suspecting the same problem.

[@glynngrauer3962]

Congratulations there Mike you are a very smart man there's nothing that you can't do great video

[@jjknowles7348]

You got more patience than anybody should have. Great job. Now Wade wants it back. LOL. NOT HAPPENING.

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks appreciate that and sure we will be after it at some point

[@lakesideranch]

Fantastic video Mike! Congratulations on the successful repair/cleaning of that injector pump. Nice machine, glad it's going into service long term. Your research, perseverance and "we got this" attitude paid off big time... Much respect for venturing into the "land beyond the diagrams" and winning. Great job brother! Work safe, stay warm. Doug@ the "ranch"

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks Doug

[@markkenes4848]

Great video. If you have the ability why not do it yourself. You just saved hundreds of dollars !!!! Now all you got to do is fix a few minor things and you got a kick ass welder. I'm like you. I dive in and see if I can fix it first then maybe I will get someone that knows more about than I do to fix it but most of the time I fix it. Great job Mike , very informative.

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks appreciate the kind words

[@preciousmemories6890]

Logger Wade called and said he made a mistake and needs his welder back! 🤣 Great repair job, Michael!

[@sassafrasvalley1939]

You know... I’ll probably never repair an injector pump... but if I do, I’ll know where to go for guidance. Now, let me give you a little piece of advice... one of the greatest inventions of mankind is the little white square on the outside of a ziplock bag. Without that square, I’d never know what the leftover parts went to! Usually, a quart bag will do for a simple repair... but I keep a box of gallon bags for those more challenging jobs... and to carry my disassembled mess to the repair shop! Glad you stuck with this... and can’t wait to see the welder in use!

[@DirtPerfect]

Lol good point William

[@DJ2CM]

Great post Mike 👍 Really enjoy coming along on project's . I worked and ran a shop for years and since becoming disabled shop time was my happy place and I miss it you can't imagine how much 😕 Anyway I appreciate your taking the time to show as much as you did 👍lol I was right there with you without being a pain in the ass looking over your shoulder lol .Have a great one 🇨🇦 Craig

[@DirtPerfect]

Lol thanks Craig glade you enjoyed have several more shop videos coming soon

[@waynesteudler847]

Very good video, enjoyed helping from this side of screen. I also find it interesting that the KZbin folks I watch are all watching or know each other. Small world. Keep up the great work

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks Wayne

[@stevencroon]

Moral of the story is to keep it inside! Those welders are a beast. Excellent job.

[@DirtPerfect]

Yes they are

[@brianseibert3080]

You are an awesome mechanic and you do a great job with the kids. Keep making great videos!

[@richysee]

Bravo 👏👏👏 To emerge from that injector pump chamber of horrors sunny side up took real talent.

[@jeffmaloney3181]

Awsome job, that is a monster of a welder. Miller are just about indestructible.

[@davidhill4711]

Awesome. Really cool that you have the confidence to dig in and fix the engine.

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks David

[@casycasy5199]

this is by far your best video.great shots of what you did great info.realy enjoyed this

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks buddy thanks for watching and appreciate the feedback

[@kristystaats8390]

Great job on getting it back running

[@barryhansen6854]

Considering this welder sat on Wades truck all the time in all weathers and the amount of times it would be used I'm not surprised that it did what it did great diagnostic Mike, will give you years of use.

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks Barry

[@mikebradley6880]

It's doesn't work, tear it apart, put it back together and now it works, happy as a logger Wade finding a Tigercat service truck! lol thanks for sharing!!

[@DirtPerfect]

Lol thanks mike

[@dalecain1158]

That was an awesome rebuild. Congrats on getting her running.

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks

[@fishncopper4521]

I would have been dancing around like a kid on Christmas morning when that thing started.

[@ronalddavis439]

Never doubted you could get it started. Nice job.

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks Ronald

[@jasonwakefield5513]

Sweet. I was about to give you a hard time about no fuel in the tank. Got to love the old engines.

[@DirtPerfect]

Lol and yes so simple

[@seanbhaney]

Awesome job on that injection pump!!! I would have said "no way Jose" after breaking loose the first bolt!!

[@richardhedrick5601]

Excellent video of fuel pump I rebuilt motors but never had the nerve to do a pump before

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks Richard

[@wolfpacva]

A great surgeon at work.

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks kirk

[@kellyblack4897]

Can’t tell you how much i appreciate your making this video. We’re restoring a miller welder, and up against it

[@MegaGrapes14]

I tore my roosa master apart once and it didnt work, this video was helpful for my second go around. I will be putting back on motor soon, hope she fires up!

[@bonniedobkin6948]

Uncle Tony says : Great persistence to the follow up repair ,,,,Knowledge is POWER ...You & Wade both get “A”’pluses for this one ,

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks buddy

[@KPearce57]

Mount a good fuel filer/water seperator on it the steel tank will sweat getting water in fuel and then not being run everyday causes problems. DP for the win.

[@DirtPerfect]

Yes sir and I do have a good filter

[@f250ford2004]

Mike, ratchet wrenchs work great in tight spots. Great job on getting it running again!!

[@DirtPerfect]

Yes it does and thanks Toney

[@roadtrain5910]

hot diggity dog it runs awesome job Michael well done and thanks Wade

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks and yes glade it’s running

[@ETX_Ian]

THANK YOU! We have a miller welder and we couldn't figure out what was wrong and a rebulilt injector is stupid expensive so hopefully this'll help us

[@williamstentzsr.9568]

Cool ...I hope you get it running

[@jaysonhoward5128]

Great job great video I felt like I was right there beside of you working on that thing. glad she works good.

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks jayson

[@donc81]

Great job Mike! That's more of a job than I would have liked to take on. So cool hearing that old Lister run. You're a hell of a mechanic

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks buddy

[@michaelsailors7794]

Congratulations on the welder. It will probably out last the new ones. Money well spent keep up the great videos

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks Michael and I agree should be around for a long time

[@teebugg66]

I don’t know how you do things like this on video without saying 4 letter words about every 3 minutes. Kudos to you, you’ve got this KZbin thing down man!

[@eddiemortontapman7252]

Micheal you certainly have a lot of great skills . Always great to fix something like that to have for mobile welding and power and almost no money involved . You are certainly More than a Mouse operator ! Got the skills to pay the bills . Always enjoy The Family Channel

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks buddy appreciate the kind words

[@10us101]

A master is one who has found out great job

[@joshualewis8002]

Those are really good old welders !!! I had the gas version with 6500 hrs on it worked great .. hard to find parts for the gassers though .. onyets used to have a ton of them .. you got a prize honestly

[@gayle4804]

You didn't give up! Great job!

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks

[@TheSnakeman3]

Did you edit out the part where you were jumping up and down screaming for joy when it fired off? Fantastic job on getting that thing running.

[@DirtPerfect]

Lol no but that is how I felt 😜

[@johnlemmey7698]

Told you.I thought you could do it. Well dun. That smile at the end made my day.

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks John

[@ericlakota6512]

Western is good like you say that guy is awsome when it comes to motors

[@136plumber]

That's Awesome Don't let Aaron break it.

[@DirtPerfect]

Lol it’s his new favorite machine now

[@Chico-td2fy]

Bonus points for no extra parts..lol nice job 👍

[@Justinsr1983]

[@mikenixon9164]

Nice job. Glad it works.

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks mike and me to

[@gregcothrum4045]

Great video Mike good job 👍 have a great week and stay safe 👍

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks Greg

[@americanpatriot2.06]

Pulled many of those apart to replace the metering valves and shut down solenoids when I was in the Air Force. The close tolerances for the injection portion of the pump often became problematic with the jet fuel mix we used in our military vehicles. Not enough lube caused over heating of the parts. Pretty much toast at that point and the entire pump had to be replaced. The fix was a proper mix of the jet fuel so that proper lube and cooling prolonged the life of the pumps. Stanadyne's pumps did suffer cooling issues from the factory regardless if diesel or jet fuel was used. The fix was an external heat sink cooler until they redesigned the pumps. About 95% of the Stanadyne pumps I dealt with were on the GM/Detroit Diesel 6.2 & 6.5 diesel engines.

[@danslawncare8594]

Hey Mike you did a dam good job on the pump. I am impressed. She runs good.

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks buddy appreciate that

[@kenmccormick3052]

glad to see it all works.

[@joelground7557]

Haha! I guess I don’t have to mention western truck and tractor repairs video.. You already know about that good ole boy! I swear I think he has forgotten more than I’ll ever know! Lol

[@DirtPerfect]

Lol I agree good guy

[@larryvance1318]

this was a great vido, outstanding job of the injection pump rebuild.

[@richwielechowski5191]

Nice job. Pretty good skill set you have!

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks rich

[@billloomis7611]

You are a great mechanic. Just tear into it.

[@sriharim4435]

Cool. Great job getting it running. With u r camaramen in between. That thing had to be a small fortune when it was new. Now you got a kick-ass welder and it doesn't even need to be plugged in! LOL..

[@guido2110]

That's great !! Love seeing things like that work out . You put any hour's that's money well saved .Good vidja !

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks don

[@CrimeVid]

I also have a cheap pair of snap ring pliers, they are less than good..... but one hell of a lot better than none at all !

[@DirtPerfect]

Very true

[@michealmartin8565]

You done good a job I work on one about like this the other day the temperature sensor went bad and was shutting it down but I got it fix

[@williamwallace176]

I bought two o-ring assortments (one buna and one viton. They have come in handy on a few occasions. -- cheap insurance.

[@blackdogexcavator21]

Awesome! I was hoping you'd be able to get that thing going. That was a time consuming process to fix a simple little problem but, I'd say well worth what you have invested. Great job man.

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks buddy

[@machinesCollectively]

Great Video! This made me a lot more confident on getting another diesel!!

[@wayoutwest4944]

You are a genius in my book.

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks way out

[@rgamore]

You surprised me after all those parts were out. Good Job. :)

[@DirtPerfect]

Lol surprised me to 😜😂

[@WatchWesWork]

Mission accomplished! You kind of skipped installing the leaf spring on the plungers. You have to set the roller to roller distance to the spec from the manual within .0005" using the leaf spring. That determines the fuel delivery rate. The notch on the governor weight basket is important since the timing marks are scribed on the back plate of the basket. But, I don't actually think you can get it together incorrectly.

[@DirtPerfect]

Yes your correct and thanks for watching buddy love your channel have watched several videos just haven’t commented

[@WatchWesWork]

@@DirtPerfect I have to say, I had a big smile when that thing started up!

[@DirtPerfect]

lol me to buddy 😁

[@stevelindley191]

Good job Mike, that's a pretty impressive repair. Pat yourself on the back for this one

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks steve

[@byGiacobbe]

Hi, I have a 1997 Miller big 40 diesel, I recently had my db2-4570 rebuilt for me but not sure how to time the pump before reinstalling it. Do I need to set the motor at TDC and line up my marks or how do I do it? Thanks, Jacob.

[@DirtPerfect]

It don’t remember for sure but that’s sounds right worse case it just will not start

[@charlietanner6211]

glad you gotb it going ,by all means get those side panels they will help keep welder cool in hot heavy welding did you put a seal kit in pump?they are cheap also drive shaft double seal can leak diesel in oil good job happy welding

[@DirtPerfect]

Still trying to find some side panels and no but might now that I know it works good

[@andyb9767]

Great job Mike. I really enjoyed the video.

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks Andy

[@waynerogers2706]

Hey there..quick question. I am working on a john deere generator that has this same style of pump. If you knew ahead of time that the problem was in those plungers, would you still have had to pull the top end apart or could you have started by pulling the rear section out? Thanks in advance

[@dennisgallagher1686]

Have to love it when a plan comes together

[@DirtPerfect]

😁

[@randytravis3998]

thought you would of had to jump the charging system ,, at times they loose there charge will not make elec ,, you put power to the wires for the brushes 12 volts when its running you will hear the engine rev a bit ,, had to do that to a few generators in my years of repair .. I hated basket jobs .. other techs would order parts ,, I got to go put the parts in .. a few jobs there took the whole unit apart ?? they did not need to for the parts they ordered.. great video ,,

[@richardwood9309]

Awesome video. very entertaining and informative. thank you for taking your time to make these videos.

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks Richard

[@trickydicky78s3]

Reads video title and thinks to myself " Ricky don't ever try this it is a cluster fuck waiting to happen " . Watches video and thinks " Ricky you are getting wise beyond your years " . Great job, great patience and great skill set mate, well done

[@DirtPerfect]

Lol thanks buddy

[@waltermattson5566]

It runs very nice. I’m impressed with your skills too.

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks Walter

[@dee73]

Nicely done perfectly

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks Dennis

[@cookiesservices4552]

Nice job Mike I’ve never attempted to take an injection pump apart Warren makes it look doable. Hey can you help me rebuild the transmission in my terex loader? Thanks for sharing 👍🏻

[@DirtPerfect]

Lol don’t know much about them but never stopped my before 😬😝

[@anthonymiller7003]

watched both vlogs.. great job..

[@clydeacor1911]

I consider myself pretty mechanical and I don't think that I'd have the courage to tear into that pump but I guess no downfall if it was a flop just have to search for a good used one. Double thumbs up on a great success and job well done Mike!

[@DirtPerfect]

Lol exactly nothing to lose but am glade it worked

[@LoggerWade]

Hey at least it wasnt to bad to redo... lol dont shoot I'm sorry for the mess neighbor I knew you could figure it out since I boloed on it

[@DirtPerfect]

lol thanks to you I had all the parts 😁

[@kahvac]

Nicely done... Thank you for the video.

[@garywest8901]

Good job buddy . Having skills makes a difference at the end of the day.

Yes sir and thanks

[@paulr5875]

and no leftover parts! Lol Good job Mike!

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks Paul

[@paulmartin8212]

Nice job. I agree it needs a real good fuel water separator with that steel fuel tank. With Clean fuel that engine will be good for a long time.

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks Paul

[@vic745]

That's pretty cool Mike. It sounds pretty quiet and looks to work fine. Good job sir. You edit out where you were jumping around with joy when it started lmao

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks Vic and possibly 😜

[@dannyharris7218]

Did you finish the job on the 120? Didn't see any videos on it or are they coming soon?
