Hi poppop, I think I will pull the engine and do some looking. The rockers looked good, but I might need to take you up on the lifters. This being my first solid lifter vehicle, is it a no-no to use lifters that werent broke in on this cam, assuming the cam wasnt destroyed?

Duh! looked at the manual, the lifters are not straight cylinders. Apparently the cam has to come out to remove them. So one is obviously broken. Dont know why the one pushrod is bent, it wasnt riding on the broken lifter. Oil pressure was good, and the valve train was wet when I pulled the...

Well bad news. Tore the carb apart to see if that would help its funky idle problem. put it back together and it idled nice, still bucked and jumped at anything past half throttle or second gear. Thought to myself, good time for a compression check. I knew the #2 sparkplug wire was jimmy rigged...

Looks like another thing on the menu. Cant stand a smoker, unless its diesel.

Does yours smoke right away at startup, or does it have a delay also?

Getting familiar with the new addition but have run into something I haven't seen before. On cold start the engine generally fires right up, but within about a minute it begines to smoke blue. After about five to ten minutes of running it clears and doesn't smoke any more as long as warm. Once...

I saw that, but that is a bit of a haul from where i'm at. My mom does live down by hawks prarie, maybe if I can combine a trip. I'll have to let it get a little closer and see. Would love to meet some of you guys.

Thanks for the warning, I read about that one in another 151 thread. Good things to know before you start.

You would have to ask my wife about the driving part. I just get to work on it. :wink:

Thanks for the heads up! I dont believe I have ever heard that designation. Time to do some research.

Full fluids and maintenance are definitly on the list. Pulled the plug on the rear diff, very slowly about a cup and a half of something resembling melted caramel came out. No material to speak of on the magnets. Flushed it out with diesel, recharged with gear oil and what do you know, much...

Differential noise Here is a video of the differential noise, and a couple pics of how the hood cleaned up. If I stop the non driven wheel from spinning it gets much quieter. Also, the faster you go the louder it gets. Opinions?

Hi Scott Sorry I snuck into your backyard and pilfered this. It was in parkland.

Not knowing what is normal for this vehicle puts me at a small disadvantage. It is up on stands right now, I will post a video in a bit and maybe you guys can tell me what you think.

Got the little dings tapped out of the hood then sanded and repainted it today, came out pretty good. looks like I am going to be in the market for a rear differential. Making a heck of a racket back there at anything past first gear. All good though, fully expected to do some tinkering.

I just processed the sf-97 on my mep oo4a. It was the trailer that they licensed not the generator The trailer was a m200a1. the data plate for the trailer on mine was close to the lunette ring.

The young one did, the old one is smarter than that :lol:

Even better, got it for 2200.0

Safe recovery! A little rust in the floor boards, undercarriage looks great. Engine needs a little attention, idles good, acts like it starves out about mid throttle. Noisiest vehicle I have ever owned, lots of clunking to be chased down. Having never owned one of these I don't know what normal...
