Hello from Vermont. Thanks for letting me in. Army Engineer Vet. 74-77. Drove 10 Ton Lowbed transporting Equipment, Operated Bulldozers and Scrapers. Heavy Equipment Opr, Long Haul Truck Driver, Logger to Concrete Mixer Drive today. Turned a Wrench or two.
Just bought a 1990 BMY 923A2 yesterday. Tried driving it home, Made 40 miles of a 75 mile trip and almost didn't make it up the last hill. Truck was starving for fuel and almost quit. I shoulda known better, but....Luckily the Company I work for has a Plant in this small town and I limped into the yard and shut her down. Bumpy secondary State Roads loosened up the 2" of Crud in the Fuel tanks and plugged up the filters.
Heck of a time getting it going again, but did, and is running OK now with a New Spin On Filter. Somebody put a little Metal In Line Pre Filter that could go on a Lawnmover on righ t behind the Left Front Wheel thats gonna disapear and be replaced with a Regular Spin On soon. Gonna try and make it the rest of the way tomorrow. Clean those tanks out, and bring Her up to snuff.
This BMY is a Far Cry from the Viet Nam Era Trucks I drove and I don't squat about it. I'll be asking questions. Glad I found this Forum and look for to gaining knowledge from Ya'll. Thanks.
