I had a similar problem with an engine on my 803. Pulled head, soaked with numerous remedies. Nothing worked. Started looking close at cylinders. Once I removed rust, gunk with scotchbrite, found a vertical crack in one cylinder. The metal was distorted due to it being frozen/cracked and was...

Why would one disconnect the battery? If all switches/disconnects are working properly, there is nothing to draw the battery down. I leave mine connected, no trickle(even though I keep looking at them!) and I have been fine for over 2 years now. I run it maybe once a month.

Engine sounds fine. I run mine with a load maybe once a month for about an hour or so. Once these things are up and running with all maintenance done, they start and run perfectly every time.

This is amazing Klopp!! Will be putting my order in asap! Congrats. I am sure this has been a lot of work. And I am sure it will be greatly appreciated by all!

Joe, I dropped the ball on getting back to you about this block. When I was diagnosing mine that was stuck, I waited a few days and couldn't take it anymore. I had a port power and a low profile mini ram. It only has a 2" stroke. Fabbed up some brackets, bolted them down with the head bolts and...

There is a guy in the northwest that has a bunch of videos on youtube about his build out. He just did one on the cab lock repair specifically. Can't remember his name but if you do an LMTV search I know you will find it.

Yes, it is February, cold and I am bored! But, decided to exercise the 803 today. It was 28 degrees, haven't run it for over a month or so. Hit the glow plugs for 30 seconds or so, and bang it fired right up! No sputtering, a little smoke but cleared quickly. Hooked my space heaters up, got it...

OK, I now see what Adelmans is. I will call them on Monday and inquire as to what they are setting a price at. From looking at other engines, they are "proud" of their inventory. This should be interesting....

Smoke, Will have to Google Adelmans. Now you have piqued my interest! Thanks

I still haven't heard from them. I can't imagine that whoever bought them would need that many. Or, what are they using them for? There seem to be quite a few lot's have come up as of late. I am going to reach out to GP again.

Thought this may entertain some of you for 20 seconds given the subject matter of this thread https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9-yymE7kzco

Smoke-I did. The shipping quote is almost $300, so I am at $450(ish) for a questionable block. Trying to see if I am willing to gamble that $. I would think I could find a complete but stuck motor for that kind of coin. I'm not in a rush, so just looking at all the options. I wish there was a...

I have not heard back from GP. Disappointed. Another lot sold last week, I will try again.

I have been lusting after an LMTV for about a year now. Been watching the usual sites. Today a 1078 went for $18,900!!! Can someone explain this to me??? They may be out of reach for me now.....

Maybe this? Says it fits and is 12 volt. https://www.amazon.com/STARTER-LISTER-PETTER-228000-5791-860871/dp/B01CUR3ESK

Hello All, Sitting here in the northeast awaiting the impending ice storm and my mind wanders to potential projects. I am considering adapting a 4 cylinder Fermont motor to an old farm tractor. Does anyone know if there is a 12volt starter available for the motors or a way to convert a 24 volt...

Thanks for the replies guys. I will follow up with them and see what happens.

I might be getting my hand slapped for this, I hope not! There were 2 lots of multiple Onan engines sold today on "that" site. I was wondering if anyone knew if there was a way to get in touch with the buyers. Either thru the auction site or?? Looking for some MEP engine stuff. Thanks

OK, "Idiot Alert".......after panicking and posting the above, I went back out with a copy of the schematics while I awaited all of the knowledgable people to graciously try to help me. When in reality, I should have done a little more investigation and looked closer inside control panel and I...

Hello Gentlemen, I went to exercise my 803 just now. Started fine, as it usually does. Ran for maybe a minute and just shut down. No fuel pump noise, which I know means I have lost 24 volts. Realized that the "CB1" is tripping. I went thru my manuals, looked at the schematics and can't really...
