rizzo, well said and right on target. you get a gold star. too many people comment here, well, more than comment, they state things like they are fact when they don,t have a clue them selves..............
RE: Re: RE: thanks
do you need anything other than the 'o' rings for the head? i am trying to purchase 10 or more new heads, but don't have a response from the mfg yet.
you must remove all the injector lines and line up the red marked tooth with the pointer. this is not a timing mark, rather an indicator of position of head drive gear and is the only position the head will easily lift off. if you have to pull, you will break parts. when you put it back make...
RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Really Weird Wireing Problem
guys, when the fan is 'freewheeling' that implies no power is applied to it. in that case it is an open circuit and nothing is going to 'backfeed' to anything. the point of having a light is to know the fan is really on, so the light has...
i had a real good, no blowby engine with a new rad and complete new clutch, all accs on motor. i put it on ebay several times for under $500 and not one bid................... it is now in my latest truck.
RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Really Weird Wireing Problem
ernie, i don't know what you are calling a bypass in the cooling system, but when cold all the coolant circulates through the engine only. there is absolutely no flow in the radiator. as the thermostat opens it allows coolant to start...
RE: Re: RE: Really Weird Wireing Problem
ernie just has the light connected to the fan. that would seem to be the most correct way to wire it, if the light is lit there is power to the fan. the other ways of wiring it would only tell you that there should be power to the fan, but would not...
bottleworks, if the fan is spinning and is a permanent magnet motor, it will act as a generator and light the bulb. perfectly normal and expected. what i do not understand is why ernie has to do all this to get the engine to run 180. all you should need is a good 180 thermostat. one thing i have...
either harness will work but there are many variables. you will need the harnes to adapt it to your alt assuming you have one. you may need a seperate harness for turn signals to go from 6 terminals on the harness to the flasher and turn switch. the big thing to look for is does the new...
do not use just any grease on the pilot bearing as it will not lube properly. use grease that is 3% molybdenum sulfide, even if the manual does not call for this, it is much better than what they had 50 years ago.
rear seal, no bolts, pry old seal out, should have three 1/4" holes on bottom to aid in oil drainage. press in new seal. flywheel only goes on in one position due to balancing, cut the head off a 3" bolt of the propper thread and screw it into one hole to aid in putting flywheel back on.
no need to remove front drive shaft unless you have a winch, then it will help. fill trans before you put it in, it holds 5 qts. if you are going to attack the clutch you will want an old input shaft to use as alignment tool, it has to be almost perfect to just slide in, otherwise it will be...
a few years ago you could buy them direct from stewart & stevenson for about $120. the 'relays' are solid state switches and are cheap although they add up. if anyone needs one repaired, contact me.
farmer, remove the cover again and free up the shaft. it must move VERY easily. some type of solvent like laquer thinner perhaps, then lube it with light oil.
