Up in that part of the state, you can drive what seems forever without a turn in the road.
Not a lot to look at either. No external distractions.
Beautiful country for sure. Was up there a few weeks ago.
Your truck would stand out for miles up there.
Always amazes me on the stupidity of...
Thanks to Guyfang for posting the Kohler manuals in the TM section.
Was having trouble downloading one and he solved the problem and also combined all three into one thread.
I haven't given up finding the extremely elusive TO for this.
Dexter makes a complete backing plate assembly called FreeBack.
Allows you to back up a hill without having to lock out the surge brakes.
They have ones for this trailer and the M101A2/3 trailers.
Doesn't solve the immediate problem but will help in the future.
I don't own a M1101/2 series...
Really looking forward to seeing the difference.
Several units that GP had sold had a mix.
One lamp sodium, the other MH.
Bet that looked weird.
Going to install a solargizer for the battery this week.
The original manual that came with these units shows it originally called for Metal Halide bulbs.
Pictures of a page from it I posted earlier in this thread.
Also looked at all the pictures from GP of every unit they have sold. All 25
A few have the MH bulbs and were shining bright. Others...
I already knew about both but thanks for the tip anyway!
I had forgotten just how much ligjt this thing puts out.
Definitely looking forward to the new bulbs. Not a fan of the sodium light color.
At least their not expensive.
I even bought spares.
Hate being without spare parts so I tend...
Replaced light bulbs in the gauges with new VDO bulbs.
Also ordered new main bulbs for the big lights.
These are the "white" light ones.
Bulbs in it now are sodium, which is more of an "orange ish" light.
That's not me holding the Bulb.
Just a stock photo from the website where I bought...
Of course they would.
That's a given.
If Bosch is better then I will spend the extra $100.
If Delphis are issue free then I will buy those.
Looking for feedback from guys that bought new sets and how their running now.
Looks like a standard Grain trailer. Nothing military about it.
See them everyday around here.
They are a very strong and versatile trailer.
When one comes up for sale it doesn't last long.
Seafoam X2
Have had excellent results and use it in everything
The NF2D Kubota/Kohler FloodLight/Generator set I just brought back to life had Seafoam in the tank that I added and it started right up.
Still running great.
Edit
I did drain all the old Diesel out and then swabbed out tank...
Looks like the exact model radiator I just installed about a month ago.
My lines installed without issue. Still no lline or radiator leaks, just checked again yesterday.
Sucks Your having issues with it.
Maybe cheaper, but way to labor intensive for me.
Plus I don't have any way of testing them afterwards.
So much easier to just install a brand new set.
I know its been covered here before, but now that some time and miles have gone by since Installed on different members trucks, would like their thoughts.
Bosch is the OEM injector.
Delphi is a high quality OEM alternative.
Problems with either one?
The price difference is about $100...
She lives!!
Once fuel filters were on, I used the prime switch.
Wonderful feature!
Loosened the 10mm bleed screw and you could hear the air coming out.
Once fuel was present, tightened it back, cranked it over for about 5 seconds and bingo!!
Not bad for sitting for 5 years.
No smoke and...
