Hi! Some time has passed with other projects (Plumbing Challenge, trees down, etc.). Today I added the shims and all the cyls sound the same. Thank you for the info and insight!! Merry Christmas!!

Mad me smile!! I really enjoy those moments that take thinking out of the box. Old mechanics have taught me some of their "out of the box" solutions. I will do that and let you know the results. Thank you very Much!!

I listened to the motor yesterday. Using a hose, on the starter side of the motor, I put my ear to the sound of the head. # 1 and #2 were quiet. # 3 and #4 have a distinct compression knock. I am thinking that I need to increase the shim pack. But, before I do that, I wanted to run this by you...

Thank you for the info. Perhaps the price reflects true value. I will get a plan "B" together, a reliable one.

Found on-line for $31. 24V Stamped on mounting tang 40193 mfg # Will install in the Aux Fuel Area.

Thank you! I believe that would work well out here on the farm.

I found the coupler parts early on. I cannot recall ever seeing the rods. I am putting the 1 piece G/R in near my shop. I need it when working on my smaller gensets. I will place the 2 pieces in the storage in the frame.

The piano hinge is aluminum as are the rivets. 2 bolts and 3 screws and I have access. As with any modification, after reflecting on the finished product I...

They may be in transition. My literature was Junction City, but the address was Abilene. I called the Abilene site and found the L/B's there.

The site was 2175 Deer Road, Abilene, KS. They were most gracious. Customer Service indicated I would have to wait until Tuesday to pick up. I called the MGR (Chris), he invited me to come in for load out. The three, John Ret. Army and fmr Army Wes and Mike, helped me load on Monday and we left...

Thank you. I am a visual learner. It always helps me to read and then to see and lastly, to do!

Thank You. Was a bit of a tech mystery to me!!!

I saw these and put in a bid. One is Serial # 2 and the other is S/N 4. So they are quite old. The TM has a line: This manual supersedes TM 5-6115-453-12,7 March 1969. So these are probably from that early date. Printed on them are these markings: FMS AHATS. The winning bid was $220. The box...

I will see if I can figure out how to start a thread. I did find Load Bank in search.
