    TachOmeter not working

    tach cable should come out one end of the housing and it should be greased with a non fibreous grease. back of tach has square hole for square end of cable, if old piece is broken off in it, it must be removed. it you got a used cable, maybe the end on it was already broken making it too short.

    Stuck clutch pedal

    you guys need to go back and re read what the op said. the pedal will not move. first step is to remove the linkage pin at the cross shaft arm and go from there.

    Loading MEP802 onto trailer

    good idea and probably worth it, but there is usually an overhead beam or such that can also be used for these light loads. i once was given a 220kw genset that weighed 43,000 lbs, still only cost $600 to have it loaded and moved 30 miles and unloaded.

    Advice from a Deuce mechanic needed

    he didn't mean a torque wrench, he meant the special tool for the nuts. very hard to find, most people just weld one up, just keep the drive over the nut. i would not trust a cheap torque wrench for something so important either. be sure to have all injectors tested, rarely have i ever seen a...

    Mep802a oil pressure relief repairr

    glad you fixed it, given the high cost. if it was full of rust, what about the rest of the lube system? wouldn't junk have gone to all the bearings etc? it certainly would be easy to just make a gasket

    Disc Brake Engineering Thread

    You are missing the design reason for larger res for the front. It used to be that front was disk and rear was drum, so as the front pads wore, fluid was displaced from the res to the front calipers. Not so much the case today and if you were to use disk on all 6 wheels, you would need twice the...

    802a AC interrupter switch

    interesting, you could make that switch, by hand, from scratch, for much less than that. So is one side of this switch NO and the other NC? I would think someone would make that. What about repairing the bad switch?

    802a AC interrupter switch

    I'm confused, I looked at mine and at the schematic, and it looks just like a double throw double pole center off switch. 2 and 5 are the throws and 1 and 3 plus 4 and 6 are the poles. I think the drawing is a little confusing. Tom

    rebuilding MEP802a fuel injectors??

    warning, the mark on the plunger goes opposite the pin that rotates it. (my pump is different than yours so it may be the other way??) the other way there will be no control over the fuel and it will always inject max. not good. the rack should move quite freely as should the pin as it rotates...

    rebuilding MEP802a fuel injectors??

    you will notice your spring is compressed, the cam has forced the plunger to go up and it is stuck there, hence it does not pump. removing the spring retainer will be almost impossible now. soak it in laquer thinner for a day then it may start to move. you can try to gently force it to turn and...

    rebuilding MEP802a fuel injectors??

    Your pump looks different than mine, but that pin rotates the plunger and it should move easily. If the fuel control sleeve with the pin rotates, there is no need to take the bottom apart, just unscrew the top delivery valve. Are you saying the pin at the bottom does not move (rotate) the lower...

    Another MEP-802a post

    john deere has a break in oil. it has high zinc and phosporous, most sites say not to use synthetic but amsoil says to use theirs so who knows!! the issue is having good enough lube for rings and flat tappet cams until everything is worn in. i would find a oil that says it is a break in oil.
