    4a84a standard military engine no oil pressure Help

    Thanks, I had not thought of that. The worst part of oil pump on these is that the flywheel has to be pulled to access oil pump. I have one that is still broken down that I am going to use this trick on. Distributors kinda of went the way of the dodo. Were everywhere and now if you see one you...

    4a84a standard military engine no oil pressure Help

    Very good point. I did that as well. I also used a squeeze bottle to force oil into top end of motor. Just freaks me out to think I am going to cause metal on metal contact for 45seconds until I can build oil pressure on something that hasn't seen oil since Carter was president. Lol. With their...

    MEP-802 listed at 51x32x37 700lbs MEP-831 listed 35x28x27 300 lbs I was contemplating if I end up going removing tool box from my half ton. Haven't measured but believe they will both fit in my truck if I leave tailgate down.

    I accidentally ended up with two generators from the GL auction today. Never expected to win one let alone two. Not complaining. Anyway having not expected to win, I didn't research shipping options. I can always go on road trip but just want to see what the most economical route. Any...

    For posterity on lack of oil pressure. My professional opinion which is not professional but is indeed my opinion is as follows: 1. Remove spark plugs 2. Spin motor for 30-40 seconds. To blow out preservation. Let starter cool repeat(should be pumping oil on this try if not already. That was...

    There was old man down street from me that had couple and misc parts. I about wiped him out. The forest service in Goldsby has quite a few sitting out in rain because they don't have inside place to store. GSA takes a year or more to auction off. Sad Really. Use to be guarded by a wall of Goats...

    After tearing one of these apart and lookng at is oil system and not finding anything visibly wrong I was indeed perplexed. Oil pump is at rear of engine with a gallery down into the block to a check valve in the pan. If camshaft is turn and keyway is not damage oil pump will turn. I cleaned...

Most valuable. Don't believe me,search some obscure military equipment designation and see which website is...

    5kw ctmgsa generators GSA auction 1-4-17

    I will more than likely be the "jackwad" welding them back on. Already scheming on that with some major improvements over original design. I want the front hanger to be a triangle instead of current. As shown. Similar to what they did with the rear scissor stands. Two of the three have the...

    5kw ctmgsa generators GSA auction 1-4-17

    With 3point hitch on tractor it turns trailer effectively into a dump trailer. Best feature about these trailer is that they are 56" between fenders and 52" between rails. Perfect for a S-250 or S-788 shelter. That being said if you see one in auction in central US in next few months please take...
