I have a '62 IH , will go double-check its vin tomorrow, memory says it is 4-digit as is my '53 IH and '58 IH

is there a 1" hole in cab floor above accelerator pedal? (or plugged hole?). That was for the starter pedal and one of the spotters that would confirm it is indeed a pre-64 truck that had a R6602 gas engine.. If so, you most-likely have an IHC, but it could also be a Mack or Diamond-T , which...

There already is a thread about this on SS somewhere that has been well-answered by others as well as myself .. My portion is there is one thing to look for as part of the process of elimination.. Look at the windshield hinges, driveline yokes, and spring u-bolt plates .. If they are stamped...

had the similar thing happen on a municipal auction website , I was winning bidder on a 14ft snowplow wing .. Listed as no reserve and no mention of winning bid approval .. (sometimes items need to have Board approval of a bid before releasing the item to a buyer) .. Anyway, my winning bid was...

yeah I concur .. Bought a 5-ton direct from GSA that had the C-turbo on it .. Seemed to choke it down.. We yanked that whistler off there and put on one of those old big-can 5T turbos

the number on the hood sides is the USA registration number, basically the VIN... That number will be on the dash tag , and if I recall correctly, should start with "02" if an ex-Army jeep... Main Organization (Div, BN, Regt, etc) goes on the passenger-side front bumper, driver side rear ...

I have burned WVO (veggie) for many years now in farm tractors, heavy comm trucks, mil trucks, MEP's, heavy equip, F350 fummins dually, diesel cars, and furnaces. Have also used it as a lubricity additive in pre-1960 gas engines. It too has a special aroma, of deep-fried chicken or fish...

I knew the ending to your story was going to be 50-50, good or bad .. Seen similar situation with a commercial 855 cummins, except it had a huge mouse nest in the turbo !!! Talk about stink, and talk about shredded "whatever it was" blowing out the stack when it finally burned enough of it...

no, please do ! it's not my idea .. I had an uncle who ran a dealership body shop 40 years , was something I picked up from him when I would visit the shop .. He also whistled like a whistler turbo while he worked ;)

BTW, checked out your page, neat stuff, never seen the paint can groove hole idea before, great ! .. As for paint cans, if using the whole gallon we have used a flat screwdriver to punch holes like dad would a beer can in the 60's .. Easy pour, no mess.. Clean the lid and apply masking tape...

Back in the 70's and into the 80's, none of the trucks in units I was with had the "hearing protection required" decal and nobody ever talked about hearing protection,,,, except when at a rifle range.. I hear the VA gladly provides free hearing aids for our loss and that is it .. We have one...

piece of cake, direct swap .. same with 5-ton multifuels .. Have even seen a deuce's whistler on a 5 ton we bought, was very quick to get it off of there o_O

getting off topic (bad me) , the son of an acquaintance decided to move their TD18 less than a mile to a job without tying down, on dry deck.. Came out of a stop-sign intersection apparently too sharp and witnesses say he was accelerating and shifting coming out of there .. dozer landed on its...

hahhaha I think i have left a few teeth marks on grab bars as well as claw marks on the seat side padding ! yee haw. . we called the tipping point "the point of no return" , or "the point of fast return" among other things, depending on which side of it you landed . .and coming down hard to...

In regards to ramp-type trailer loading, this is what we in my business have found to work best over 40 years loading hundreds of items 1: The above is why we should load backwards whenever the equipment and trailer allows.. That way, one can see over the hood just fine to safely/easily...

really good to hear .. I have some turbos from a 230, a 290 and larger 855's sitting around, and a M809-series custom turbo hump hood just waiting for something to go on to .. Know enough to know we can't turn the NHC250 up too much without having piston coolers, was wondering if there was...

a few years back a farm down the road had a deuce with stock ndcc duals all the way around and a self-unloading high-side grain wagon on its back .. they said the duals on the front helped with flotation in the muddy spots of corn fields , but it still didn't steer any better :LOL:

got a pyrometer installed? am interested how much the turbo affects the 3rd-4th tranny hole

I know you mean to say the 3- 4 jump cuz I know you know the subject matter quite well .. Unless you are talking about the 4-5 jump in the 6352 direct-5th, which was a bit hard on gasser 5-tons ;)

don't ya just love the dreaded 3rd-4th hole? .. With the stock tranny/xfer, you might know you already have a few splits in there to break up the 3rd-4th Hi hole, they being within the sequence of 2nd Lo, 3rd Lo, 4th Lo, 5th Lo, 4th Hi , 5th Hi and vice versa for downshift with a double-clutch...
