Just got done installing a new IP on one of our bc's ( ulsd diesel ate up the seals ) I would throw in a little 2 stroke oil into the fuel mix when your ready. Still one of the best motors out there this particulas one is in our oldest well rig that runs 5-6 days a week 8-10 hrs a day for 31 years before its first overhaul in 2009. original pump was replaced then. I doubt we will get service like that out of our new equipment with all of the emisions bs on them.

What kind of a crane or boom is that you guys used. Looks like it has good lifting capacity.

 

[DaveP]

the machine is my boom/digger truck.
its the most handy piece of equipment. I would be lost without it.
max lift is 16,000. and thats fine as I have the M819 for the heavy stuff.

9513 with some magic tricks done to the internals.

 

[DaveP]

Not much that can really be viewed but heres a couple pics.
rear mounts are complete. front mount is complete.
front crossmember has ben completed since the photo was taken. the center section is removable for clearance needed when engine comes in or out.
turbo clears the inner fender without any trimming.
because of the relocated engine-- the hood does not need trimming.
trans misses the brake booster by 3/4".
trans did not clear clutch linkage at all.
clutch pedal will be swing type with cable. the shaft will stay in place untill the next upgrade as the brake linkage uses the same shaft.
fan drive is giving me fits but I know who will win.

Great, That is just down the road for me. And i have some odd and ends from this winter. I didn't see Any trail or convoy rides planned though. I've been reading the Haspin threads, looks like they have grand ol' time.

I'm kinda wrapped up this week with the Drummond Island wheeling trip, but after that if you need any help wrapping things up i will be free.

Any updates on the build?

 

[DaveP]

Any updates on the build?

yes. repower is complete. sorry for not updating this thread.

only have 500 miles or so on the repower but so far all is good.

big difference in power of course. a little better top end with the double over 13.

ended up dropping the eng/trans about 5 3/4" from original location. fan drive turned out well in the long run. not without a fight tho.

made a custom air intake system to utilize the dual air cleaners.

radiator expansion tank ended up on the fire wall.

there is lot more--- just cant think right now.
