My first multifuel?

[foxtrot]

I discovered Mico Brake Lock while rebuilding my M724.

It's official,
I own the M62A2.
I hide my joy.

Congratulations! What do you plan to do with it? Are you going to try to find a wrecker body to put on the back? A cargo box?

 

[foxtrot]

Hard to say, I still don't know the truck well.
I start reading TMs.
My idea for his final look is the MASSTER camo.

Filters required for an LDS-465-1A Multifuel engine start.
Anything else for this first order?


Qu; I Primary fuel



Qu: II Secondary fuel filter



Qu: II oil filter

Definitely was a wrecker, only wreckers had the Mico brake lock and the rear facing transfer PTO. Also the level wind on the winch is a wrecker thing.

When I saw the front winch that’s exactly what I thought. Could very well be a M543.

 

[foxtrot]

A little confused.
Can you help me date the year of manufacture?
Is the manufacture from Kaiser-Jeep or AM General?
Is it the M39 series?

I'm going to pick up my truck tomorrow.
I will probably have the serial number.

Manufacturer is Kaiser Jeep. M39A2 series. Could be 1965 to 1968.
You need two oil filters.
Can you start a thread on your M724 please?

M724 across the Atlantic.

My friends are preparing their gear for pickup.
We pulled it up and then lifted it slightly from the rear and pushed it onto the trailer.
Everything was very easy.
It is now at home, I languish tomorrow.
PS: I did a first high pressure cleaning of the truck on the trailer.

Amazing how knocking off the dust improves the look...

Gawsh!..That truck looks really good now it's out of 'der muck and on that trailer.
pee, ess, That primary filter should not fit the wrecker/five ton. It is for a 2 1/2 ton/Deuce style.
Your wrecker style has a 'twiddley' thing 'scraper' filter on the drivers side under the fender looking to the back right.,
Looks a fantastic project..So, Progress with pictures please.

Morning picture.
Arrived home last night,
To help him get off the tank carrier, I used my deployment aid vehicle.

 

[foxtrot]

Motor blocked.
The cylinder head is split at the level of the third cylinders.
The injector is not damaged.
I continue tomorrow by lifting the cylinder head.

 

[foxtrot]

I deduce that the frost is responsible for the breach in the cylinder head.
At the top of the piston from humidity and oxidation.

Breach

So was the breach in part of the water jacket?

 

[foxtrot]

Yeah, looks like the metal has been pushed from the waterline to the pushrod passage.

 

[US6x4]

Ahh, now I see it. Is that something you repair or replace?

 

[foxtrot]

Repair, is it possible?
I do not know.

 

[US6x4]

Repair, is it possible?
I do not know.

I've had cast iron water jackets welded up in the past but it all depends on if that crack is accessible to the arc rod. Looks like access would be tough...
