I just damaged my keyboard by drooling on it! Interesting that someone would have packed it up and left a roof vent open! Put me down as a charter member of the MKT club; I have a very complete MKT-85; I even got 2 swing blades, 2 rakes, 2 shovels, 2 brooms and a set of steel wire shelves...

JAYHAWK 1962, It sounds like you are new to SS; welcome. I just went through the whole thing with fuel pumps: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/deuce/38594-dead-fuel-pump-need-help-fast.html http://www.steelsoldiers.com/deuce/19455-fuel-nozzle-leak.html...

There is a supply line that goes from the supply pump to a filter and then to the little pump. A small line goes from the pump to the nozzle; then a large line goes from the nozzle to the return line on the line of injectors. I recently replaced the in-tank fuel pump with a pipe that...

I am trying hard to understand this old truck and I have learned a good bit about the fuel system since I started having the latest round of trouble. I have never even lifted the hood on a diesel before, so this is very interesting. When I first found the leak in the pump on the flame heater...

My dad and I had a short but exciting flight in a Cessna 170 once when I failed to take a bird and its nest out of the oil cooler. It did end safely at an approved airstrip, but there were a few anxious minutes as we watched the oil temp get a little out of range. The interesting thing was I...

You had better make looking for cats in the engine compartment part of your walk-around. My dad shredded a cat once that had crawled up inside the engine to get warm.

Where can I get another one? Sounds like a deal to me, even after almost a whole day driving around to find the ‘O’ rings for the nozzle. I wound up getting the large one from a Harley Davidson store; NAPA and ACE Hardware were pathetic; Checker couldn’t help me because they couldn’t look...

First, if someone can tell me what TM to look in for information on the "flame heater" I would be grateful. The only information I have been able to find is in TM 9-2910-226-34. I fixed a leak in the nozzle by replacing the ‘O’ rings (see...

A Third 'O' Ring Resurrecting an old link. I had a leaking nozzle and remembered this link so I found it using ‘search’. I don’t have much to offer about the nozzle except don’t overlook a Harley Davidson motorcycle shop when looking for ‘O’ rings. Also make sure the ‘O’ rings you get are rated...

THANKS! I haven't started my rework or research yet and this really gives me a headstart. Arlyn

RE Setting up a civilian trailer to be towed by either an MV or civilian: There is a set of lights available from American Superlite that will take both 12V and 24V. One source is: American Superlite Oval Stop Tail & Turn/Front Park & Turn LED Lights but I think there are probably other...

There is some history that I would like to clarify. If you are a classic Ford fan, you will know that the First Ford Bronco came out in 1965. Several years ago (pre-internet) I was doing some kind research and came across an article in, I believe, a 1964 Popular Mechanics magazine that...

It runs. I mounted a Carter P4603HD in the line just above the tank, turned the pump on, opened up the petcock at the top of the double filters, let it bubble until I got a steady stream, closed the petcock and the engine started right up. The long view: You get what you pay for. This pump...

Looking back I don't think that the in-tank pump was working when I picked it up at Ft. Riley, KS in Aug. 07. I drove it basically straight to the storage yard with only a side trip to the house. On the trip home I felt that it didn't have the power I remembered an M109 having and on some...

Closing out this thread was a little premature. Has anyone actually done this? I have made 2 attempts to priming the fuel filters and the lines to them. First I looked through TM 9-2320-361-10 OPERATOR’S MANUAL FOR 1-1/2-TON, 6X6, M44A2 SERIES TRUCKS (MULTIFUEL) and TM 9-2910-226-34...

Thanks Nonotagain and Speddmon. That does make sense. All the engines I regularly work on gasp and wheeze through a carberator. I do, however, remember checking the pressure on the fuel line on a Dodge minivan and replacing an in-tank pump, now that you mention it. Kind of a note to close out...

Does anyone else see the contradiction in this? Here's a clue, look at the last sentence in the 2nd paragraph.

RE 3 pumps, I guess I need to read the TM again. I can only find the in-tank pump and the IP. I have traced the fuel lines and found the line goes to a filter on the frame on the right side near the front; then it goes to the 2 filters on the left side, rear of the engine; then it goes to the...

wb1895, Sorry if I'm hijacking your thread. Jake0147, This makes me worry; I thought I knew what I was working with, but I obviously have missed something serious. I have been planning to replace all rubber in critical places, so I suppose I need to plan a complete rebuild on my brake...
