Kiene Diesel Accessories'

New Injector Puller

Saves Time And Money

S-1100 INJECTOR PULLER

Kiene Diesel Accessories' S-1100 injector- puller saves time by preventing accidental removal of the injector sleeve. This means that draining of coolant and replacement of sleeves is eliminated.

Kiene Diesel Accessories, Inc. of

Addison, 111., has introduced a new diesel fuel injector puller that pre- vents accidental sleeve removal and coolant leakage. The compact, new

S-1100 injector puller is especially effective for tight, in-chassis situa- tions and is designed specifically for the Navistar DT 360 and 466 Series engines. Approved by Navistar, the

S-1100 exerts pressure against the injector sleeve to remove even the most stubborn injectors quickly and easily. The versatile, heavy duty S- 1100 can be used with a wrench or air-driven rachet, in the shop, or in the field.

Maintenance engineers, shop foremen and fleet owners who want to save time and money on diesel maintenance can send for a specifi- cation sheet including key features and instructions for use.

For over 45 years, Kiene Diesel

Accessories, Inc., has been sup- plying and servicing specialized die- sel engine and fuel injection tools for OEMS, independent service fa- cilities, state and local governments and others involved in diesel engine maintenance.

It's nice to hear words of welcome. For Baldt, the past two years have been a rough voyage. We made it to 1988 by navigating tricky currents and uncharted waters.

Frankly, it wasn't easy. The world economy wobbled; Baldt wob- bled with it. Oil prices plummeted; our off-shore business dried up.

We fought foreign competition all the way. Hanging tough, we won. Today, new orders have revived our basic chain and anchor business.

We've streamlined our company with a rededicated manage- ment team. We've divested our subsidiaries. We've renewed our plant modernization efforts, expanding our ability to do what we do best: turn out the world's strongest, longest-lasting chain and related products.

To all our friends on the seven seas, thanks for standing fast with us. With new direction, the word from Baldt is Full Speed Ahead.

It's nice to be back.
