    Where can I buy two sets of .020 rings for an mep 002

    Hastings in NY makes all sizes of engine piston rings. I believe they still sell direct. Get accurate measurements (original bore diameter, ring thickness, type of ring(s) needed) of your rings and call or e-mail them. I'm sure they can help.

    3 kw gen set re-wire

    I know this is a very old thread, but I asked about re-wiring the little 1.5 kw gen set (2a026 engine) so that it produces the "correct" 240 volts for use in a building system. Anyone have a lead? The 3 kw set works great for the house after I added the jumper connection (except for when the...

    Bridge Trucks

    We happen to have two of these, one is our 4,000 gallon water truck (for construction sites) and the other is an M813 w/ the crane and winch for the sectional bridges which just sits. Also have an M139 parts truck. Have driven the water truck around on the highway some, but with original old...

    Tachometer on 4a032?

    While not a permanent solution, I just got a no-contact optical rpm meter from Harbor Freight. Stick a little piece of reflector tape on the front pulley and point the gun at it. Works good for all kinds of things.

    M139

    The truck in my avatar is a converted M139. It, along with it's parts truck came from the Clinton Mass. area, and since the Mass NG had a bunch of these, most likly they are all related. Truck should have 1400x20 rubber on 10" wide wheels, but the wheels have such a deep offset, making them...

    continental 602 part #'s x-ref?

    Oil filters are big by-pass filters from Hastings (LF103) or WIX (51021). Strongly suggest using 15w-40 diesel/gas rated oil, TSC has Rotella or their own store brand on sale all the time. Takes at least 22 quarts so buy 5 gallons in a pail and two one gallon jugs for topping off and oil use...

    Good thread. I am still looking for a kit for the Zenith carbs. Never have been able to find one. Anyone?? Thanks

    cleaning out transfer case with diesel ?

    Did the fuel oil flush on the water truck due to the fact that the original oil looked and acted like asphalt when we drained it. Had to pry a hole in the tar on the bottom to get it to flow. Sprags also were sticking and causing much noise and shock to the truck due to the old oil. Just...

    Injection Pump Rebuild Kit for Mack???

    Suggest that you take the pump to a good local diesel pump rebuilder. Should be able to fix any problems with the pump is they are any good at all.

    5 Ton Bridge Truck?!?

    The M139/328 trucks with the 6602 engine are overwidth for running on the road, would have to run overwidth/overload permits all the time. The water truck in my avatar was a 1961 M139 truck that some fire dept. added the tank to. Since we had to be able to run it down the road, we reversed the...

    4A032-4 project ideas

    Got to watch the rpms on the little military engines, no direct oil pressure to the rod bearings just splash like a B&S. I would not run one higher than 4,000 rpm. This is why they hav'nt caught on for ultra light aircraft.

    Conversion of Power Steering

    Our 5 ton Mack powered tractor had been updated prior to us buying it. It appears that they reused the pump and tank from the old system and added the steering box, column and two cylinders from the 800 series trucks. If you had an old 800 truck for parts it should not be too hard to do.

    4a032 Starter Solenoid

    Got to e-bay and run a search for "4a032" or "4a084". There are starters on there all the time for between $50 to $150.
