All of the 15 rebuilt heads I got from GL and sold or helped replace were Ambac #HD 90100A and do not have the oil port on head, not even a hole that is plugged or oil passage on the IP housing. Greg if you could sometime get a pic of your old IP showing the oil port and if it can be plugged. If...
Yea that or a good take out IP lower unit that has bad head but does not come off a code G pump and cheap. I learned something today as I have never seen a code G pump. The bad news for anyone with a code G pump means you must find the plugging kit if you can if you have to replace the head with...
If the question is for me I got it here in Florida. Thought they were supposed to give me a title straight out but as I said I am glad they did not. I would have had to get it corrected. Now I do have another trailer from GL that I got the SF97 and in my stupidity I filed for a title and did not...
"Everybody" gets schooled or spanked here on Steel Soldiers. I feel bad because I did not catch the problem. After a call and a talk I put in my .02 but it was not enough. The pump is a code G pump and has the oil port in the side of the head and the plug with oil filter. This plug / filter...
I just bought a semi trailer 373A2 from Govplanet and the form asked me if I wanted a title or sf97. I put SF97 and glad I did. If they would have sent me a title the tare / empty weight would not have been correct. On the SF 97 they sent me it had the correct gross but for the tare they had...
The only time we must see the balancer mark on TDC point and the timing advance window mark on point is when we are checking timing. Yours looked correct as you were one tooth off so you were timed correct.
Correct we really do not have to worry about balancer mark or timing advance window mark as long as the Head scribe / red mark are on the Head pointer your good to remove.
We only remove the Head when the red paint / scribe mark on the head are in line not when it is one tooth off. Also I like to rotate the engine over to find the Head mark the same direction as when the engine is running. No need to bend and "try" too repair anything.
I think you will find the 3/4 it is one heck of a tool. I payed a little more and got the case with charger and two batteries. I also ordered the 12.0 battery for longer life.
I forget the manufacture. Yea they add four extra vertical braces on mine. In the pic you can see the second legs back from the front on both sides has the extra brace and the second to last legs has them to. Don't know if that is the way they do it on mine or because of the extra height for...
I do not understand why someone would do the quarter thing on there own truck. Best thing is to bypass the FDC and add a pyrometer. From then on we do all the fuel adjusting from the main fuel control or twin nuts under the triangle cover. When we bypass the FDC the droop screw is not changing...
Been bad about doing anything to the Deuce so since the yard is getting pretty empty I thought I would give it a quick wash job and keep it under cover for now. Need to start getting it back in better shape as I seem to have forgotten to give it any TLC. The 1088 can keep it company while I make...
Sat there wondering why I have too many military trailers. Addiction maybe a bad thing but rehab is for quitters. Good news is the two expandable and the one white trailer are sold. Keeping the two cargo trailers and my 373A2 camper / tool box trailer. Started to get more of the parts...
This is why we always leave the stop cable pulled out when we leave the truck. If the fuel control unit assembly wants to get sticky / stuck it is better to be in the no fuel than the wide open position. Also you might think about removing the fuel control unit assembly and do a deep cleaning...
Became a grandfather Dec. 11 with a baby girl on my sons part in the mix. Still trying to clean off the 5 acres of all OD stuff collected so I can sell the property as I do not need two homes at my age. Yea my field is always solid even in the rain. Thanks for asking.
Yes with the cut hub if your off as too tight or too loose you have to pull it back apart and correct with shims or remove shims. I still like the cut off hub way even if I have to go back in. I had to do all six of mine and after the second one I got faster and did not mind going back in.
