Craigslist has a RANT forum, not SteelSoldiers.

It probably would be a good idea to use a new plug. You can use a small amount of sealant(rtv) on your old one and try installing it to see what the fit is like. if it is snug, then it may stay in. Sorry, this is not very decisive. Accepted. Thanks for following up.

I wonder if it had a bent connecting rod from a hydro lock situation. In time it could have stressed the crank to failure. WAG

The OP hasn't been on since he posted this thread.

Well, the MWO is explained in the TMs Since there are thousands of military specific accronyms, a sticky would be nearly useless. Google "military, MWO, accronym", see if that helps. If so, try it next time your baffled.

Modification work order. The tag should have a number engraved on it to designate what MWO has been performed. (100's of them)

Remove the(shuttle valve) air supply line and spray in some lube(wd40 or whatever). Install the hose. Air up and shift from 1 to N to R about 30 times. The supply line comes off the passenger side frame rail. The center port is the exhaust. It does not get anything attached to it. Never...

Yeah, One of the Moderators has coined a term for this kind of thing. "Death by Moderator" Seems to be popular lately. Easy come, easy go.

Could you explain what pic 2 is (top row, second on left side). It looks like a hose cut.

Give me a call if you need help with alternator testing. It is very easy to do.

Military registration "number".

That's the "TROUBLESHOOTING" chapter, isn't it?

How long would a simple picture take? Without one, all you'll get are guesses.

Yeah, just a towel or large rag over the engine to keep dust out and it will be fine for a while.

Are they working? They are obsolete now, so in the future you'll need to replace your terminal ends and I would use AC60G glow plugs.

Maybe a neighbor, or hired hand would like to come along(as a driver) and enjoy the weekend.

Carnac, that looks like a Wilson alternator. They are known to not be correctly built and cause the issue you just had. Here is a thread that had the same exact issue. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?100733-Wiring-cooking-itself-Going-crazy&highlight=alternator+wires+picture I'd...

Danger of what? Did you confirm your glow plugs are all good? They can go bad with one cycle(reality). Test them now. Look for 1-3 ohms.

That thing on the back is a "flip over hut". I've had several wooden structures in the past, but portable is the wave of the future!

No denying it. If it wasn't fun and fairly comfortable, I wouldn't be doing it.
