    losing prime after a week m929

    Yeah, that's right. 6.0 had to have op to fire. Same engine as the 444E Navistar IIRC, maybe that was 7.3, I forget. Puddy tat, same same, HEUI was their brain child. Did you know that the diamond no longer makes their own engines? MaxxForce killt that part of their business off, HEUI and...

    losing prime after a week m929

    I thought maybe a BF, but... Even modern electronic engines will still let things come to life with 0 OP, they'll just shut off after a few seconds ;)

    Oil filter? How does that make an engine not fire?

    M54a1 Mack

    If you think it's got a miss, go to harbor frt and buy a non contact thermometer. At cold start, hot is more difficult to pin point and if you run it and let it sit, heat soak comes into play causing a cooler spot to soak up the heat from other areas, measure the exh. temps on the manifold where...

    Locating a part for the wrecker

    Following are some pictures of the cable end. I slpit the nut just to get it apart just because curiosity kills me. You can see on the nut that it is bent and has been split through the hex for a long time. You can also see that the nut is bent as well as the wedge. The wedge halves are bent...

    Locating a part for the wrecker

    I'll snap a pic tomorrow. The truck was a NG unit, new 1953, overhaul at TEAD in '73, delivered to NG sometime in '74, the Museum acquired it around '79-80. NG unit made it look nice, but FILLED it with Bondo. Pieces parts missing, the rear winch station clutch lever at the trans, vice, some...

    Locating a part for the wrecker

    This is what we have, didn't know about the different lay. I do have a p/n. I was going to try Memphis. I have not looked out back, there might be a winch or some cable just baking in the sun. I'll check that tomorrow.

    Locating a part for the wrecker

    I did look at those, and they requier a piece on the end of the cable to lock it in. There is a liquid that can be mixed and poured onto the socket. This will be a last resort. But thank you!

    Locating a part for the wrecker

    I have looked, Oshkosh doesn't have any, Eastern Surpluss has none, both show on their sites, but not in stock. Who else might have the rear winch socket? I did put up a parts wanted ad.

    M6 Rolling Wheel Liquid Transporter

    That is so funny! I actually searched for "Highway Products Incorporated" and, there IS a company, out of Or. named that, that manufacturers fuel transfer products! I contacted them, a very nice lady answered, we chatted, I sent 3 images off to her as well as a link to this thread, and she sent...

    M6 Rolling Wheel Liquid Transporter

    Dunno if I would trust the tires, they are checked pretty bad. This thing is 2 years younger than I am and I am sure the tires, bladders, whatever they are called are original! I can find nothing on this on the interwebs

    M6 Rolling Wheel Liquid Transporter

    Didn't know where this shoulda gone, "Other Aux Equip" or here, I chose the latter! Here are some pics of an M6 rolling gas trailer. All of the hoses are there, I believe it is complete, holds 1000 U.S. Gallons. We have no TM on is so I do not know if this required a pump to fill or extricate...

    Replacing ignition system with new system.

    I have seen this remote mounted in a small aluminum box on a firewall or metal inner fender. And people do make bushings to rebuild a worn distributor.

    I was thinking the same thing, just make the line a bit longer to avoid kinks.

    Containers for wmo/wmo mix

    The blue plastic water jugs/barrels work fine, I stored my dieselgas concoction in them for years. If you have the room, the smaller the better. They can be stacked. 15 gallon drums are the largest I would go with if I were to do it again. They are haevy but can be moved with a hand truck. Any...
