    I think I recall someone saying their fan caught the small air hose too. Is that right? I know it is rare, but that one is a cheap, but PITA fix.

    check the small bolts that hold the shoes in on fan clutch Shortly after purchased my m1088, I had it running and heard several clinks. Nothing major I thought. I found the several pieces of clutch lying in my driveway. The fan could not engage, and thus would overheat if it was driven slow...

    I see that you recently joined. Welcome! Wow, ok, but this would be a massive project. I think that we could add more things with time, but lets start smaller first. I see this as a quick reference, but eventually links could be added to TMs. This is essentially a prototype tool with...

    Survey...... "oil line of death 3116" (governor oil feed line)

    As I look at this line, I think the issue is likely resonant vibration. Transmitted between the block and the governor. If the resonance could be dampened, the line might last longer. Not an expert in this area, but that pounding sound of the diesel is probably with harmonics, mostly in the...
