Thanks gimpyrobb for meeting me! That helped out a lot. Tow bar worked awesome. I will post more info on the trip when I get a little free time.

Made the 250 mile trip home with no issues! Although I did have a DOT officer speed up next to me to check out my towing setup. Pull truck ran flawlessly!

Are shackles pins and tow bar pins same strength?

Well for the pins I will be using drawbar pins used for farm machinery. As for the feet I will be fabricating these as well. I understand where your coming from and I appriecate the heads up!

Both trucks run and are in good shape. If I have to I can back road it home if things get a little hairy. Have to just see how everything unfolds I suppose. I want to just make one trip out of this so if I have to go slow than so be it. Not to worried about the towbar holding up. I have welded...

I am picking up in Columbus Ohio.

I would consider buying a tow bar but since I have all supplies to make it will be cheaper! I think 4" x 4" x .375" walked square tubing will be up to the challenge. I will post pics when finished. I do appreciate all the tips!

Yeah since I am building a towbar and also being a engineer I'm sure that it will be overkill and will probably be impossible to pickup by myself! Better safe than sorry. I would like to tow down the e-way since it is a long trip. Is 50 mph to fast?

Well I bought 2 M923's in ohio and am going to flat tow one with a towbar behind the other to save on having to drive two of them home. I am currently getting everything around to make a tow bar and all the other stuff needed. I have never towbar towed anything before so this will be a learning...

Well my worst nightmare is now reality!!! I have bearings welded to the crankshaft..... Now I have to decide what to do. Should know by the end of the week if I'm gonna part her out!!

I plan on starting with the oil pan for a quick look, then if everything is good I will start with the atf!!!:grd:

Here are a couple pics!

Did you tear into the motor and what did you find if you did?

I am really hoping that it is just a rusted/locked cylinder!!! It seems like if the motor was locked up due to the lack of oil there should be a rod sticking out!!!

Well I picked up my new toy (M923) yesterday and got a nice little surprise!! I knew the truck "does not start" before buying it but I figured it would be something small. After looking more closely at the motor I came to the conclusion that it is locked solid. No movement of the crank at all...

Now when you say "Either way when both rockers are loose for a given cylinder, that injector should be closed fully" do you mean the injector is pushed all the way down? Is the injector considered to be open when the rocker is not pushing down on it and then closed when it is pushed down? I'm...

Well I went to adjust the injectors last night using the method described in the Nhc250 valve injector overhead adjusting thread. Once I rolled the motor over so that the pointer aligned with 1-6 VS on the pulley I found that the number 1 injector rocker was not down into the injector. So I came...

I just read that forum and yes it does help! Hopefully some adjustment will cure all my problems!

After reading the service manual, I noticed there are two different torque specs for adjusting the injector depending if the injector is a top stop or not. Being that the truck is a 1971 I am assuming that my motor does not have top stop injectors?? Thanks for all the help!

yes the smoke smells like fuel and will make your eyes water and will also get you dirty looks as you smoke people out!!!:driver:
