Already done and surprisingly no water came out. I was fully expecting it. Did both the pan drain and canister drain. Obviously it needs changed now but would prefer to do so when oil is hot. I didn’t buy extra fuel and oil filters since if it runs, I will be doing the spin on adapter...

I rarely go outside of a 50 mile radius with mine. If I break down, help is a phone call away. CB radio will get installed someday. Only off road stuff is typical ranch work. I just carry tire change stuff, chain, hay bale wire and tow strap, bungee cords and first aid kit and my trusty Pow...

Down in Corpus Christi, TX you can drive on the beach. Sure it’s fun and such, but you’re driving in salty sand and occasionally water. The ocean spray leaves a film of salt on everything!!! The car washes there have spray systems you drive over and stop while it washes the underside of your...

I’m ready to hear it run, but I’m not rushing. Don’t want to miss a step anywhere.

Lots of busy work today. Took off the battery cables and cleaned the contacts and added fresh shrink sleeve to the ends. Also removed the fan shroud and exhaust shroud/flaps. Removed more mud dauber nest and blew everything off with the air hose. Used air to blow out the oil cooler. Then used...

Filters arrived today. Cleaned the canister bolts and sealed the top bolt. The “rust stained” filter base turned out to be anodized that color. The copper washers look to be a special shape washer. I didn’t have new ones so I heated them up and annealed them. New canister gaskets were...

Ok good I switched it back and forth a few times but didn’t gorilla handle it. Good to know Will do just that. Thanks

I did take that cover off earlier and it was full of mud dauber nest. Removed all of those and blew out the whole thing with an air hose. No nest or critter damage that I could see. I am glad to hear that I can spray that huge switch cylinder down with WD40 or equivalent. Good to know It does...

I'm fairly confident she'll run I hope it produces power. If not, I'll do my best to fix it. Appreciate all the help and encouragement everyone!!

Might as well add that to the list. Thanks

The panel mount ones, like the original, I can fine, but not in the correct amperage The Nut mount ones I can easily find but do not want to do that unless I have to. The other 7 1/2 amp breaker on the gauge panel is fine and easily found.

My 002A isn’t even running yet, but I’m on the lookout for another. First it was 5 tons, then CUCVs, trailers, now MEPs….. I feel your pain.

Already done. She’s soaking on SeaFoam. While I had the glow plugs out, I used a bore scope to look inside. No rust or damage that I could see. Managed to break the 15A convenience receptacle circuit breaker. It was frozen and when I pulled hard on it, the black tip busted. Didn’t come off but...

I also removed the glow plugs and manifold heaters. Used a Fluke Multimeter and checked the ohms. Not sure exactly what they should read but none were open circuit. If I had the fuel filters and battery's I would have tried to start it.

Ah Yes It did have a metal oring I was going by the schematic and didn’t see it there. I will place it back and remove that copper washer. When I removed the gunk, obviously I couldn’t get it to stay in place for reassembly. So I used a touch of grease on the sides only and it stayed put. The...

Ok Good news. Removed cap nut, which was missing the copper washer, and the fuel that came out smelled fresh. Removed valve holder, spring and valve. Rotated engine and plunger was spinning but not plunging. Sprayed carb cleaner inside and rotated engine, spraying more as I went. let it sit for...

Worse case is this is a parts machine. I will get another one if this one doesn’t work out. So firing shots with the parts cannon isn’t a total waste. I needed the glow plugs anyway for starting.

Perfect That makes me feel so much better. I did find and ordered NOS glow plugs and intake heaters. Ones in the machine all look original. Have 2 new Optima 51R Yellow Tops inbound. Thinking of making new power and ground cables. Original ones aren’t bad. I still need to remove the cables...

I did this just fine on an old 67 John Deere 2020 Diesel Tractor I rescued out of a field where it sat for 15-20 years. Timed engine, removed pump, had pump rebuilt, reinstalled pump, bled it and she fired right up. I think this has me a tad nervous since I’ve never owned one of these before...
