Nobody touched on the water pump, should I rebuild it while the motor is out or is it easy enough to change later on if it ever goes out. Do they go out often or rarely ever?

Dangit! Where's a good Thug when you need one? 😁

So far I have only been able to find the full gasket kit at around $485 on ebay. Does anyone know of a source for the partial kit that I need? Also, should I think about changing the water pump while I'm at it?

Thanks so much guys! I think I have located all the necessary parts in the TM'S but would be easier just to get a kit. I'll do some searching with that info. Guyfang, do you know where your 2 thugs are? 😁

Wow, thanks so much, that is a detailed explanation! Where is the best place to get the kit I need?

I checked the crankcase vent and it all looks good and there is no oil coming out the dipstick tube so looks like I'm fixing to have fun, lol. Being a farmer I have lots of tools and a backhoe and forklift. Are there any special tools required to do the job? Now to the big one, and keep in...

I'll give that a check. Thanks!

I was doing some of my final running and testing of this unit this morning when I see a pretty good stream of oil coming from it. I have been watching after every run of it for any leaking and have seen none up until this morning and it is gushing out from somewhere between the back of the motor...

Would anyone have an air filter number handy for this unit? Thanks, Ben

I fixed it.

I changed the title, does that sound good?

Great news to report today. I got it working after doing the single phase conversion. Note to anyone doing both the AVR replacement and a single phase conversion, you need to NOT follow the AVR manual and hook the sensing leads to L1 and L2 but to L1 and L3 as these are the correct leads...

You mean like this? How does the rest of it look?

So, I got the voltage regulator to work, at least the convenience plug, when it was wired for 3 phase. When I did the conversion to single phase I probably had the lines switched because of a discrepancy between how the video had the lines configured and what the directions from the voltage...

Also how would you set the dipswitches, is this correct?

I double checked everything and best I can tell it's correct. I then checked the fuse on the regulator and I get no continuity. I have some coming in tomorrow.

I tried it both ways and both ways gave me over voltage.

Yes, after the first over voltage shutdown I turned the regulator all the way down but it still did it. Thanks.

No, that thing is toast. I have a plug in meter that works great!

I got the voltage working on the convenience plug and set to 120 volts. I did not test any of the other legs as I was going to do the conversion over to 120/240 single phase. So I followed the conversion from the YouTube video from here. One thing is a little confusing as his conversion has...
