When I bought my truck (M35a2) from Al back in 2013 he sent along with it a running take out LDS multi-fuel motor (from a 5 ton) with a wastegate turbo which remains packaged up the same way I got it from him : |
When I bought the truck I had two less kids and a nice paying IT job - since then...
Just got done reading the other thread and came back to see you summarized, thanks, good call on viscosity for ease of starting too 👍
By doing this method you save the canister filters from catching dislodged junk it sounds like, but also doesn't clean pump, feed or return lines.
Mine has sat...
A question (not directly asked before from what I can tell):
Is there any potential issue with pre-filling the fuel filters with ATF before my first start?
Thought is to let that cycle and hopefully clean things out a bit upon startup without diluting by dumping into fuel tank.
Spoke with Mike Virili from "Bike Miles Motorpool" today who confirmed:
That seems to leave open the possibility that if there were enough interest they may reproduce, even if a one off run.
Thank you for the windshield link I knew I remembered seeing that around and I'll do some checking on the top.
Appreciate all the replies this form and often the straight and particular usually does a good job of lifting me when I'm in the Deuce Blues : )
Yeah, I do know that's the rule, and not a bad one (new wine in old wineskins and all that.
But that's also putting a good ~$200 battery on the shelf as a "spare" that I wont use.
Is the issue that it could overly exert the new battery, and effectively bring it down to the old batteries...
I found GoGlass in my town, gonna hit them up tomorrow, now to find the thread with the glass dimensions for the OEM frames....
Fiberglass hard-top kit for sub $1K? My searching is bunk then, any help in a PM?
Good suggestion, baby-steps to the Deuce : )
Question: Any issue mixing old and new batteries? Got one nearly new Group 31 900 CCA battery, but thinking I want to switch to Group 27 with slightly lower CCA. Any problems mixing old/new, different CCA?
I've read the threads indicating that these are better, but it looks like torque rod ends are becoming rarer (even the stock ones) and cant find anyone selling the greaseable ones.
They still available (tried Big Mikes and Erik' s and both are sold out)?
Also, am I missing some simple...
Started back in on the Deuce today after *cough* 3 years sitting : (
Fried the old batteries due to a welded solenoid (more info) and haven't touched since.
Installed the Gear Reduction Starter today that I got from 74M35A2 - MUCH lighter to install than the old one was to take off. Got some...
Guys, sorry for the delay, I've scanned in all the installation instructions and diagrams that came with my Fuel Fired Arctic Personnel Heater Kit (Kit 12301224).
It includes the following files:
Installation Drawings

Thanks for the the offer, let me see if I can get them scanned in over the next day or two similar to how I did the instructions. If I cant swing it I might wind up sending them over.
So this is the instructions, scanned to PFD. It doesn't include the drawing of the parts or the wiring diagram etc, but its a start. I've got meetings until this evening, but might see if I can get the rest scanned in tomorrow.
Well good news or bad news? : )
Good news is there is a lot of documentation included in the kit, including schematics, installation instructions, parts lists and wiring diagram etc.
Bad news is no TM numbers anywhere and they are all in large scale non-scannable format : /
I may be able to...
