I've been down this road. After some failures I installed an SMC 1/2" 24VDC solenoid. Then I ditched the stock horn and put in a "mini tug" air horn. So much better now! I think it all cost me about $200 but kids are always waving at me to blow the horn for them and when they jump and giggle and...
My "still new to me" M1087 has such a long list of items.... Just finished cab air bag replacements and rebuilding the supply valve. The old ones were totally blown up with rust. Rusted right through the air supply pipe to them, too!
Previous owner bent the hell out of the tail light holders I...
Last M817 project was new batteries. After needle gun, ospho, primer and paint of the battery boxes. Crimped new 2/0 cables with copper lugs and heatshrink, all new terminals, all new bolts. It was about time the old ones were probably 1972 like the truck. 2 pin Nato adapter to a slave with a...
I'm willing to wager overloading was the root cause not being unbalanced. Like I said the physics of electricity just doesn't back it up. What's really likely is they looked at the 3 phase rated kVA and then hooked up a single phase equivalent. For example a 25 kVA genset is only good for about...
I work in this field. Lots of experience and training and such. Here are my thoughts for what they are worth:
-All the facilities I work in are 3-phase 480 and 208. There is no "split phase" like residential where the waves are 180 apart. it's all balanced three phase with the waves 120 apart...
With stuff like this one could go old school on it. In this case old school like the electric utility guys make up service laterals to your overhead on your house with split bolts. Start with a wrap of self fusing rubber tape and do a 1/2 overlap. Don't forget to give it a bit of a stretch as...
You time it when you install it. Correct pointer on the balancer, timing window off and at mark, HH timing cover off and at scribe or red mark. I remove the forward valve cover and rotate engine to ensure I'm at TDC on compression stroke on #1. If I didn't do that I suppose I could do the rest...
It's basically a one way valve so you have to take the pintle out of the injector at a minimum. Probably the nozzle and the guts of the unit for better flow. The pressure tester has a check valve.
I haven't done this yet as my engine runs smoothly and hasn't called for me to do it (also I have...
Found the little compression fitting in my box. The part number is A-250610R2 a simple internet search: https://www.worthingtonagparts.com/injection-pipe-sleeve-to-fit-internationalcaseih-new-aftermarket-wn-250610r2?srsltid=AfmBOoqubpNGOVQgQ4PasCBBtB6_i5UbzBXVX44GH4tYOgvUKmFw6LBD
Can't remember...
If you buy a pop tester off fleabay it's going to be an "India" type. That is to say, the land of plentiful Massey Ferguson tractors, type tester. If you've ever been to India/Pakistan/Afghanistan you'll know the whole place runs on these simple machines (and their simple injectors). IIRC mine...
There are enough surplus nozzles around that lapping new ones is cost prohibitive. You just buy new ones. As for cleaning and testing these are pretty low pressure (for injectors). You can buy a bench pop tester for a bit over $100 on fleabay and track down the adapter bits you need. I keep a...
OK here it is: SR5014602RD
Many thanks to Wes for sharing the parts interchange page for the M939. You need to do that. Go to the M939 truck forum and click on the link Wes posted for the shared spreadsheet. He gave me access almost immediately after requesting it. @simp5782 you rock thank you!
From TM9-2320-272-24P-1, page 680. Looks like they are only listed as the backing, the liner and the rivets. No complete assembly. You can search for the NSN and part number on the web then comb the results. Usually you'll get crossovers, other manufacturers, etc... These are standard truck...
The little star adjusters? Clearance is 0.020" to 0.040" it's pretty basic. The wedge style brakes are different but really simple. I had to use a mallet to get mine off, rocking it side to side and striking it, but it wasn't anything abnormal. Just a 3# dead blow for a dozen whacks side to...
