So I got this straight, take a wire (cable?) from the battery and plug that into a 15 amp C/B. Then run a wire (cable?) to the radio mount. And finally wire (cable?) to the VIC-1. My question is the wires and/or cables. I can see using the mil-spec cable from the radio mount to the VIC-1...

The complete wiring diagram is in TM 9-8028, figure 188, page 282, in case you might still want one...

Know anyone who has a borescope? Harbor Freight has the least expensive ones. Do a visual on the inside of all accessible ports.

When you do the compression test, is it done on a hot engine? A hot running engine, if suffering from a crack, will most probly start acting up as soon as the engine gets hot.

That thar conundrum is shore nuff a tail twister! I mildly suspected an intermittent ground out, if that’s possible. I ran into some problems with my diesel Farm Pro (aka Jinma) tractor. It was running fine then it started sputtering then it died. It wouldn’t restart fer nuthin’. Took off the...

I was looking for something other than wiring and came across this manual. It’s TM 9-8028 and on pages 171, 271 and 282. Looks like the complete diagram. Other than that, I’m fixing my farm pro tractor (fouled fuel tank, sediment bowl and fuel filter. Cleaned everything up and she started right up.

You reworked the key start? Is the part new, used, NOS or the original part, just rewired?

Good luck!

Not much of an update. Got the pull switch attached to the shut off. Now when I get it running, I’ll be able to stop! Almost got the throttle hooked up but ran out of daylight. It’s waiting patiently for me to finish up. Part of my wiring issues was, in addition to age, some post service mods. I...

Still fixing minor issues. Doggone wiring is tough as nails, however, the plastic wrap is breaking down after 47 years of use and abuse.

Good news! Installed batteries and very carefully touched the cable to the battery. No massive sparks, no smoke, nothing. Almost anticlimactic. Went ahead and fully connected the batteries (after replacing all four terminals). Then went around to the driver side and turned the battery switch. Op...

Never mind, found one :naner:

Hi, I’m looking for a hard copy, not downloaded from the internet, M54A2 series tech manual. I’m looking for the -20 in hope that there will be a wiring schematic attached to it. Might be in the -34 TM. Would anyone have a copy with the schematic included?

I printed up the M809 series schematic. It is very close to the M54 series. I’ve been able to track down wire numbers 10, 17, 27, 28, 27, and others. Still having difficulty with the no longer identified wires. It’s slow going but that’s the only choice. Get too frisky with speeding up and I...

Hit a bit of a blockage. The wiring is proving difficult to determine where to attach the various components. Some are easy; the oil pressure, fuel quantity, temperature and some of the lights. What’s really confusing are wires that aren’t numbered, weren’t identified by previous owners, wired...

Finished with the repairs to the instrument panel. Replaced and repaired broken wires, broke Gauges, corrosion, etc. Had to pick up some heat shrink from HF. Good stuff and a good price. Didn’t have any left over from the last big repair job.. Pics:

Thank you! No matter what I tried, it kept posting them upside down.

Not much to report. I’ve been chasing and repairing wiring. Also been rebuilding the instrument cluster. While the wiring hasn’t been the mess I suspected it might be, there’s still quite a few repairs to make. I’ll post pictures once all the myriad problems get fixed.

The fifth mount that I’m using came off a M931. I searched high and low for the parts I needed for my correct 5th mount but no luck. I got pretty much everything from the spare tire carrier to the ramps from either a M931 or a M818. The problem with going this way comes from the re-enforcement...
