Any answer to a problem with any vehicle is contained within the TM and its troubleshooting procedures. DH is one of the most knowlegable people on here about cucvs. Did you test the individual components with a multi meter to confirm correct operation? Test the temp sender with an ohm meter...
Just as with the b17 that just burnt, parts and pieces of this wreck will fly again in another airframe. There is always something salvageable if its needed badly enough by someone completing another aircraft.
The oil pan issue would be interesting considering its two piece design. The aluminum half above and the steel pan. Something would have to be made up since that lower aluminum housing is half of the crank case...
Ive got a 85 300D with a turboed OM617 in it. I am thinking the engine would be a fine swap. More power than the original, the ability to burn WMO or WVO if you would like to, very simple to work on, parts are fairly cheap and on and on. Seems about perfect in size as well, i did some...
Just got a new 2011 car trailer and it doesn't have any tie downs that i would feel safe tying a vehicle to. It has 6 welded on "5000lb" capacity d rings. Hardly what i would call secure or even remotely trust-able. I'm looking at the bolt on style D rings rated at 12k lbs breaking and 4k...
It all depends if you want original NDTs or just want new tires. Coker tire makes NDTs that you have to order or a local farm coop may have a mud terrain style tire. There are MANY threads on tires and where to get them because tires can be a problem for these trucks. Do a search and see what...
Drove one not to long ago. Very odd and very "british" in nature. Neat to see it powered with a ford flat head v8 though. Not exactly easy to drive, you are incredibly scrunched into the drivers position.
I remember when that happened. The Larimer county sherrifs department were going to try to respond with their V-150 over trail ridge road. They punched an intersection with it and it was quite a sight!
first thing is to get ahold of a whole set of manuals for that truck. It is required to work on them correctly especially when it comes to the brake system.
Restore her! Ill have about 4500 in the restoration when i am finished with mine. I started with a truck in a little bit worse shape than yours. GREAT score! Even though some say these trucks are plentiful it is not the case, i had to travel 900 miles to find one worthy of fixing up. And...
Are you still running on 24V? Im trying to figure out how to cut it down to 12v and still have enough juice to transmit. Ive got a FT8900 that i want to get mounted in the m37 when its done. I was thinking about the VIC1 too for an audio interface.
I scored an oil pump rebuild kit a while back for next to nothing and i was curious if anyone had used one? Ive rebuilt pumps before for John Deere stuff. The old pump made plenty of pressure and is in good shape but is a civilian pump so the key way is not offset. Any experience with...
