prime
I can not get it primed, so I rolled the whole thing off into the lake. Not really, I worked on it for a while when I got home, could not get it to fully open up. You don't have much time to play with it either. Since the cooling requires it to be primed it don't take long for it to heat...
prime
I didn't get a chance to try the pump this morning. My son got sick so I have to take him to the doctor. I hope to get back in time to try this evening before it gets dark. Thanks for the help.
prime
It says to pull the throttle out until the engine fluctuates which it only does with the exhaust valve open. I have twenty feet of intake line and I may be about 5 feet above the water. You can watch the hose drop under the weight of the water as it is filling which it does rather...
prime
The antifreeze is in a sealed tank above the fuel tank in the front of the motor. It is for the motor only. It does have lines frome the tank to the pump but that is for the cooling coils in the tank. THe antifreeze never touches outside water. When you pull one of the priming levers it...
Prime
Ok my intake seals are ok as well as the line. Please explain the antifreeze thing more. I don't understand what the antifreeze has to do with the prime. When I go through the steps on the tag on how to prime it, it all goes well until I open the discharge valve, I can open it a little...
Hose
Ok I got the pump to run, now I am having problems keeping it primed. I think it is because I need discharge hoses to achieve the proper back pressure. Anybody know of that is true? Anybody got 2-1/2" fire hose they want to sell?
pump
I don't think the tounge has been changed, seems like I have seen these before. But it could have been. It does have the brass tag on it and it says Army Corp. and the rest of the info is the same. It doesn't say NSN number but it does say stock list number which is 58-9050-700-910 which...
pumps
Run a garden hose in there, ok got it. I assumed that since the bearings had grease jerks that it would be OK. Anybody know where I can get manuals on this? I can't find anything anywhere. Anybody know the M number? Anything?
Well I saved them from the crusher and now I am in the learning process on how to make them work. I had the yellow one running until it lost the fuel pump. Trip to Napa in the morning. They both have Chrysler flat head 6 's in them. It says model IND-8A, type 524 on the tag on the side of the...
I have found a couple of water pumps mounted on M101 trailers. The tags on the trailer don't say much. It says they are Corp. of Enginers units. They pump 500 gallons a minute. They have a flat head inline 6. The trailers are in great shape. The pumps show 500 and 600 hours on the meters. The...
Air system
I have two of the old gasser trucks and both of my air gauges are mechanical. Also I don't recall seeing any of those sending units on mine. I know the buzzer on the m35 works. I will have to go and take a look at how it is hooked up.
Salvage
Thanks for the Info. Keep it coming. I like going to Howards but it is just so far away and I spend all my play money in fuel and a place to stay. Any of these places you mention have any gensets?
