Re: Info on Vacuum line's Vacuum line diagrams are available in the Manuals section over at M715Zone.com. Those -715 guys are gurus over there, and know EVERYTHING about these weirdo Gladiator rigs.

Thought I'd post a couple pics of this. FE was able to diagnose the problem with my distributor, here's the coil that came out of my dist. unit - circa 1967. Notice a problem?

RE: Info on Vacuum line Well, its official - the -725 isn't going to Aberdeen. Did a lot of work on it the past several days, with help from OnanPower and FerroEquinologist (thanks guys!) but there are too many issues that need to be corrected: Bad news: wheel bearing seals have failed on...

Re: RE: Progress on -725 this weekend Thanks, yeah I recommend taking the front apart when you're doing your truck bumper. I really didn't need to, but I'm glad I did. The -715 series has a distinctive looking, but oddly designed front valence that is open to all the junk that can blow in or...

Made some progress on the -725. First, the bad news - the tire shop is having problems removing the run-flat inserts on the 11.00x16 XLs that came off the Marine LAV. They can't remove them, so they will be giving back to me to remove. I now know how to, but it's a PITA. Then, I'll have to...
