It is also possible that it's a model built in Europe using older tooling. A lot of US manufacturers do this. I have a Ferguson TO35 tractor that hasn't been built in the US since the early 70's that is currently being produce in Turkey and India for African markets

Excellent news on all counts. It proves that tough times dont last, tough people do

It works out great. I used a v2203di which are in plentiful supply coming out of Carrier reefers on semi trailers. As equipped they are rated at 45 hp. To make them work in a Jeep you need an adapter for what ber trans youre using, mine being an SM465 that was behind the 350. It is a stock...

Thanks for the reply but unfortunately I have painted it twice repowered it from a 350 Chevy to a Kubota turbo diesel since then. Right now the body is off and Im replacing the hat channels, right floor pan and the panel under the right door. This origionally started off as a low buck project in...

Howdy, several years ago I picked up what was left of a 1953 m38a1, which i did a resto mod on, The previous owner, after doing some of the worst welding/torch work ive seen, sanded all of the outside paint off and painted it with sandable primer. I matched with what was on the underside of the...

First off, congrats on being able to go to the state police acadamy, and best of luck to you

This is where the detective work starts. I would start, as you said by checking the coil and condensor. If they check out I would check the supply voltage to the coil and work back toward the ignition switch. Barring a bad coil, which at this point is doubtful, I would look for corrosion at...

Thar is good information that will save many others from bitten buttocks, thanks

It sounds like a bad condensor. One more possibility is a carbon track on the coil. If thats it there will be a faint line like a pencil line from the coil wire to the terminal from the distributor. It usually acts up as the coil heats up. I had the problem with a f head powered CJ5

Eastwood sells a pretty good dryer and, as with most others they need to be mounted 25' from the compressor. What I did with mine was come off the compressor with a short 1" npt nipple, a 90, 5' of 1"npt pipe, another pair of 90s to a 10' section one more pair of 90s, another 10' section of...

The white porcelene piece is a volt a drop. Some of your gauges and/or accessories are 12v and the volt a drop, being a resistor drops the voltage to 12v. On caution, these get very hot. You want to keep anything that you don't want burned away

Looks good, with the lack of back panel and rear floor, hat channel it will be a lot easier to do with the body off and upside down. Sorry about losing your dad, bet he's smiling down on your project as we speak

I know this is an old thread but if it helps anyone here goes. it is a series/parallel switch, the truck operates on 12v and starts on 24v

My gxr1000 will cruise all day at 130+. That doesn't mean it is a good idea

Find a Parker dealer and have the correct hose made. If in doubt go to one size heavier hose, the money is in the fittings.

Howdy, I was born and raised in your neck of the woods, Enterprise,Or

New guy here, thanks for having me. I've been lurking in the shadows reading threads and found that there are a lot of potential mentors on here, thanks again for having me. A little about my current project. I bought a 1953 m38a1 from a friend who restores mvs. It was determined that it was too...

Nice job. One suggestion on the spare and jerry can, how bout a frame mounted swing away mount that puts the spare and can in the original position. I've been doing a build similar to yours except mines an m38a1 that's powered by a kubota turbo diesel. I'm probably going to use a Meyers top...

There is another crimping tool for DIN terminals sold by Cat that has a depth adjustment. New they are $132, I purchased mine from a pawn shop in the box for $35
