Can't wait to see it!!

Thanks for David Wymore again for letting me scrounge an injection pump off one of his parts trucks. I ended up taking it apart to find a damaged camshaft and boost pump drive shaft sheared off. But the hydraulic head looked good. So I disassembled my trucks pump, all new gaskets, swapped...

What's the purpose of the check valve? So far as I can surmise it really just allows fuel flow through the boost pump when the engine is off. Once started, higher pressure goes to the filters and effectively closes the little check valve. I though about welding a plug in the removable threaded...

Well I'm on the hunt for a hydraulic head. This morning she decided to seize up around the block, head is pretty much toast. I've been running a waste motor oil fuel filtered to 2 microns. I think this morning being 39 degrees the oil was just too thick to pump through the fuel lines and it...

Little over 8 hours today. Chunk has been replaced. Replaced spring pack, oh and those mirrors got put on the other day. I'm beat In a couple weeks I'll get the axle shafts and drive shaft back in, then I go play Sadly even though the new leaf pack is a 12 leaf pack and the old one was 10...

Excellent! When I was having the similar issue you were, you'll remember I said I wasn't sure if the proper OEM in tank pump or the boost pump being replaced was the cure since I did both at the same time. Now after seeing your post, I'm almost sure it was that airtex I had on it. And I had it...

Spring pack detailed and back together. Amazing how much rust builds between leaves. Heater box shortened, blasted and painted. It'll go under the dash on drivers side. Much better than right on the side of the engine where you loose all your working room. Also in are some blind spot mirrors...

Does someone have a visible difference between the two paints?

What a fun day Wednesday, met up with our member David Wymore here for a day of pickin parts and playin in the dirt. He looked like he was having too much fun so I caught him in the act. Thanks for the parts, ILL BE BACK. Got us a 12 leaf spring so the deuce has a matching set. No mas mean lean...

Your boost pump is still suspect. Mine was badly scored from junk fuel at the two plate halves that sandwich together. When I put the kit on my new used pump that is when the problem was fixed. You should also check the overflow valve on the side of the hydraulic head. If stuck open there will...

They’re getting harder to find since AMBAC doesn’t make the kit anymore. South Eastern Equipment company or “seco” has them still on eBay or you can call order too. Nice folks, good parts. I don’t recall the TM even mentioning rebuild for this part, even for the injection pump TM. But it’s...

Today’s no.2 doesn’t lubricate like old stuff. I throw a quart of new motor oil in or 2 stroke oil works too. A quart or two per tank and you’ll never know the difference!

The Multifuel is a durable design. If a man took a brand new Multifuel that was properly assembled, never abused it and ran modern oil filters from hour 1 I see no reason it wouldn’t go an easy quarter million and more. Lower compression would help longevity. All the veterans tell me stories...

So my problem as Floridianson mentioned was the same as yours. I also updated all my lines to DOT 1/2 nylon, had new filters installed. I put new o rings from hardware store in my boost pump while replacing the main boost pump shaft seal which was dumping fuel in the crankcase. Fuel pressure...

well thank you but I just realized I put my hard top back on upside down. Of course this is after all the caulking dried. One step forward and two back! Here’s a quickie photo shoot from cutting 2 acres of grass the other day at least

Made a quickie bracket with some scrap, some fittings and we have a 2 micron kitty cat final filter. At first I ran it without any sort of over pressure valve and I could tell it was a lot peppier. I had a spare overflow valve off a junk hydraulic head, knowing these are rated to open at 60PSI i...

TH400 is a direct drive, no OD sadly. So you’d be at roughly 3600rpm at 65mph. Would be quieter than a Multifuel screaming at 55. Mileage would probably be 6 or 7 depending on a lot of things.

PEEK A BOO!! Looks like the catacombs beneath Paris. Cut a hole in the rocker to access broken fender bolts and get a peek inside. Super crusty….coming soon to a theater near you… The roof was awful under all that flaky paint. Lots of rust and pits. Days with a wire wheel to get bare metal and...

Thank you to all for the offers of assistance. Things SHOULD go just fine as the truck has had a full service and been very reliable so far. we will try to avoid any bad grades. But I know eventually it’s going to be a 10mph crawl somewhere. We’re looking at the homewood to Jemison area. We...

We plan to go around cloudcroft, heard it’s a hell of a climb!
