Split rim
If you have ever seen and heard on of these things blow in person you will learn to respect it real fast. When you break one down you will notice that most of these rings has a little lip that your tire bead goes over. That is supposed to squeeze the ring together until the bead seats...
Lights
I just ran a hot wire to a toggle switch on the dash and then to the lead on the back of the headlamp switch. That way I can have it original or with all the lights on.
Trailer
If you can tell me where its at I have a doctors app. over there on Aug. 3rd. I am going to this app. before I go to work but if I have time I can run by and look at it. PM me the info and I will try to check it out.
Trailer
I live in Vandalia Il about 25 miles from greenville. I can store it here for as long as you need but I don't have anyway of picking it up. Or maybe I do, is this thing road ready? I have a friend of mine that is a farmer who has an International semi and he might be willing to pick it...
Thanks
As soon as I get the gaskets I'm going to try all of the above. I just know I am going to break'em. Thanks for the advice and, Jones where did you get those bits?
I really need to replace the manifold gaskets on my gasser but I am afraid to touch the bolts holding it on. There is not much left of the studs past the nut. And I know as soon as I put a wrench on there and give them a twist I am going to hear that awful noise, snap! Any Ideas? Also do these...
Glow plugs
There is a tech. article on this site on the links to your lower left. I don't know if it will answer any of your questions or not but it may be worth looking at if you haven't done so already.
manuals
Not knocking the electronic route, just like the paper better. I just find it easier to sit the book on the fender, just kidding. I do like to have both versions though, I keep the paper versions in the shop and the other in the house and they both have there place. I can print another...
Manuals
I downloaded manuals off the logsa site but I could not find anything describing my problem. My printer is out of ink and nobody here local has my ink so I have to order it, but when it comes I am going to print the whole thing out. I just like the old fashion way of doing things. When...
Pump
Thanks guys for the info. I am learning about these things as I go. That little genset starts first pull everytime until the crankcase fills up then it won't. You take the plugs out and they are just soaked and the pistons are full of gas and oil and I mean FULL. You can pour the gas out...
I have a little 3kw genset here that runs great with the exception of one small problem, it will dump a half quart of gas in the crankcase in 30 minutes of run time. Any ideas? The float and everything else on the carb seems to be working properly. When it is running it does not appear or smell...
Tire
Nope. It is still on there he just doesn't put as much air in that tire as he does the rest. I will tell you guys one thing all the pictures on here don't do him any justice. That setup is looooooooong. He looked like a land train going across my hay field like the ones you see on tv down...
DR UPDATE
A couple of more pictures. I don't know why they downloaded so small, I down loaded all four at the same time. Sorry about the size, but if you can see them the black plum in the center is smoke rolling out of the truck about a 1/4 of a mile down the road.
