Thanks, I'll give it a try in a few weeks when I replace the filters and do an oil change on my pipeline deuce

Hi folks I tried speeding up my deuce using an later thread that didn't have picture or much detailed instruction and ended up breaking the bolt that the FDC innerds attach to on a replacement injector pump. It is a newer version, probably the G series. I still have the old IP. So, does anyone...

Hi folks, I want to install a manual fuel shutoff valve on the fuel line of my M357 a2, so either a 1/2" reverse flare ball valve, or adapters to plumb it into my fuel line without having to cut the fuel line and install something would be great.

Thanks for the reply. My Parker fuel pump came with a bayonet connector, so I guess I'll buy a mating bayonet connector and connect it to the wires coming from the old M35A2 style connector and put that adapter into the fuel tank. The other option is I noticed that the Parker fuel pump has a...

Thanks for the great photos. I have a Parker pump I plan to put into my M756A2, but I don't get the electrical connection. It looks to me like you were able to switch the cable from the old Olympus pump to the Parker pump, which comes with a different electrical connector than the old deuce...

I got mine in the classifieds here, so post a request for a Parker fuel pump

The injector pump was unused and included the booster pump, but I still observed rising levels in the crankcase.

I've replaced the injector pump, which means the booster pump has been replaced, and the flame heater died, so it has been removed, but I don't see how it could be a source of fuel entering the crankcase.

Thanks, Rusty, and others for this valuable thread. I have 2 questions regarding the injector pump, which might be off-topic for this thread. 1) I found the motor oil level in my deuce was rising, and I asked on another thread, and was told the probable cause was the hydraulic head (HH) had to...

Thanks. My flywheel is badly cracked, so the clutch replacement is on hold until I can track down a replacement flywheel

Thanks, Rusty. I had a friend who is retired master mechanic examine it, and in his opinion there are many cracks, and some of them are quite deep, so it should be replaced. His assessment seems reasonable to me.

I could not push or pry the clutch fingers down to insert a block of wood, so I just removed every other bolt, then I removed the rest of the bolts loosening them alternating across the clutch until I had them all out. I had the clutch assembly out on about a half hour. I found the...

I finally got the transmission out of the way, and I am now staring at the clutch assembly. Does anyone have an idea what the dimensions should be for the "small wood blocks" that are used to wedge between the clutch fingers and the pressure plate housing?

I finally got a friend to help me unbolt and remove the passenger bench seat, which allowed me to remove the third floor pan, which gave me access to the jackshaft, which I removed yesterday, which allowed me to use 2 come-alongs to wiggle the transmission out. It is now resting on a pallet...

I did all of that weeks ago, and it is still too snug. It is possible that my M756A2 is too full of other stuff, like a rear winch, to allow for removing the transmission without taking something else out. PS: The transfer case is unbolted, but will not come out either.
