spent memorial day (monday) moving composted cow & horse manure to someone's large garden and spreading it out.. 6 loads heaped to the top of the cab protector .. although very damp and packy, the stuff was lighter than expected Ground still too wet to get the loader into the pile thus...

It sure presents as a fuel restriction or a breakdown of spark, but without actually hearing the engine it's hard to nail it .. Everyone has covered the possibilities .. Something will pop up sometime (y)

reminds me of the Corps of Engineers data plates on a 40ft crane boom i had .. Each boom section had more data plates than a barrel full of monkeys !

nice ! the PTO is a rare plus on an IHC "industrial" .. The lack of drawbar stinks, as it may be difficult to find one (and its front mount and rear support) if you decide to install one.. W4's/I4's are not plentiful in tractor graveyards.. I'm 51% sure the setup from an H will not fit yours...

the plugs are 7/8" as you discovered , this is a throwback from IHC's 1920's-1930's tractors .. Oddly, their trucks are 13/16" back to at least the 1940's

1: No dipstick .. On yours you will find two thumb knobs on the R-side of the oil pan .. You crack the top petcock first.. If oil drips out you are good to go If no oil drips out the top petcock, you close it and then crack open the lower one . If it drips, your level is within the safe...

i feel your frustration, chasing a ghost isn't fun .. i hope in the end it's something simple that was overlooked , probably all of us have done it i've maintained 1970's dodge/plymouth products the last 50 years and one day 40 years ago my Trailduster had another no-fire .. For a spell all...

run it in the dark and watch the distributor cap (and wires) for spark jumping .. Wait,,, you said scratches or chips in the cap? Does this truck have a civilian-type distributor ? It's supposed to have a sealed metal distributor assy, and yeah, if it has the sealed one it's gonna be hard...

I had an XM211 many years ago but ran into the sputtering problem under load with a 1940s farm tractor i got at auction... Without gleaning thru this entire string, have you cleaned the air cleaner? .. I have seen where mice got inside those oil baths and they rot into muck and clog the...

The only M-series 6x6 gassers with a tach were the 5-tons and 10-tons .. I have never come across a M44-series 2-1/2T 6x6 gasser with a tachometer . None of the 1950's gas GMC's (M135, M211 etc) had a tach either . These gas deuces were built during an era where drivers were expected to have...

yeah i have run into that too .. apparently a coating intended to stop storage corrosion

i don't blame you .. i am not gonna say one of my little 4T equipment trailers may or may not have had operational elec brakes for some time My cousin had a story of his 4T gooseneck being stopped by a local and the guy made him roll forward and use the manual control lever to lock up the...

1: as others said, omni-volt LED's are the way to go 2: As for the plug, i've been hauling commercial "18-wheeler" trailers with my M818's for a very long time... I made a simple adapter by taking a military plug/cord from a smashed M416 jeep trailer at a junkyard and put a 7-pin plug on the...

... and for some weird reason i thought you were Staff Admin on here , making sure we all behaved ourselves .. I stand corrected ! rofl

one of my sideline self-employed ventures before retirement was performing annual grounding/bonding/continuity tests at stoneworking mills and their associated quarries IAW the requirements of MSHA .. Like an automotive inspection station, this sometimes led to me having to also do field...

osmosis via the flux capacitor .. it's fine ! ;)

just checking whether you really read everyone's posts, or just click the "like" button ... lol

it might've had pressure if you had parked that tire in the sun :p

you might want to carry a hammer or billyclub in the cab for when you do your walkaround .. those who are not tone deaf can hear different pitches of notes being played when the air pressure isn't the same among them ;) they don't look flat if their circumference winds up the same as the tire...

hey we can't forget to pay attention to the oh-oh ring (and groove) on top of those fuel filter cans (retaining bolt) .. That spot up there collects a lot of environmental crud and the o-ring can get deformed during tightening enough to suck air .. another issue i've run in to is the fuel tank...
