M916A1/2 FLD120 Exhaust Elbow..

[zebedee]

Had to replace elbow before the sliencer/stack. Simple right?... well it's not a full 90°, as the preceeding pipe is pointing down slightly. It's also a male/male pipe. Over the counter 90° is female/male, but I got creative.. Watchout for the heat shield touching the tank sender wires.

i got tired of re-patching that pesky elbow, so last year when i had no time and no help a local heavy shop replaced everything behind the turbo on my commercial FLD120 .. bill was around $1200 .. the cost of parts was 3x more than the labor .. ouch .. at least the new donaldson muffler will last longer than me , i modified the outlet / stack joint so no rain can get down inside the muff, as the bottom of that was rotted out too

Why do you have a horse trailer in the one picture?

oh, but that open-sideboard style is called a "stock trailer" .. but still can be used for horses and we can still rag on him !

i was a sucker for a horse lady ,, once ... she had up to a dozen at any time ... ugggggg !

it was only when i started showing up with handy trucks did the clothes start to come off, as you can see hanging on the mirror



ps: truck is ex-US Army L172 cargo from 1953 , and the other model is 10 years newer and crazy.. Long long long ago my dad warned me about this kind

i have a crap-ton of green and red .. only the best from both worlds

"Green and Red"..... ? To be clear, "Green Crap" is my missus' reference to military vehicles/equipment (temporate, sand or arctic camo) and definately NOT a reference to green tractors - this is a RED farm!!!

Our farm is BLUE.
