This brings back memories! I have a M945 that I installed a 4000 gal hydroseeder on. I buried it loaded on a gas well lease road and had to go get a large dozer to pull it out. I feel your pain! As a side note, it is painted the same color red.

There is a small screw located on top of the filter housings to bleed the air. It is the one in the center of another bolt.

This will probably sound really stupid to you but I saw it happen once. I was talking with a guy about a oo3a that was having a similar problem. It turned out the only problem was that the throttle was not pulled out. Forgive me for mentioning something so basic as you seem to be knowledgable...

It's really not too difficult to obtain a cdl. The first time is the worst with the testing. I would recommend if you do get one to go ahead and get a class a. This will cover you for anything you want to drive in the future and takes very little additional effort. Without the class a, if you...

I've had great success with Rotella also. On any given day, I have as many as 40 diesels running 10 to 12 hours per day. I've had no oil related issues at all and some engines are approaching 10,000 hrs.

It sounds like you have eliminated a fuel supply problem. The thing that doesnt make sense is that it clears itself so rapidly. A tight spot in the injection pump doesn't really add up in my mind as the problem because it would go thru quite a few revolutions between events. Have you paid...

This really sounds like a fuel problem to me. I've seen this happen where the fuel pump did not push enough fuel and it would start emptying the filters. As the engine slows, there is less demand for fuel and the filters are refilled. This type situation will not cause air to enter the system...

Hi all! I have read this post a couple of times and finally have a better understanding between a SDS and non- SDS hook up. Since power interruptions don't occur too frequently, I plan to keep my 003 inside my shop out of the weather until needed. Here's the twist. I'm wondering if I...

R15 is located at the bottom of the vr in the control cubical. It should be marked on the board. It also has an adjustment screw in the side of it. Someone with more experience will have to tell you if that could be your problem. Good luck!

If its what I think you are talking about, it's a capacitor.

I use a product called "equal". It does a fantastic job at balancing, is cheap, and available from any tire shop that sells truck tires.

Copper is perfect. Anything galvanized is what you want to stay away from when using diesel. Including galvanized fuel cans.

I had a 003 with high voltage. With Speddmon's help, I tracked it down to the secondary windings on cvt1. I replaced it and all went back to normal. One of the symptoms I had was that the resistor kept burning out on the bridge rectifier. I wish I could tell you something about the vr but I'm...

I'm not familiar with the 005 but I think I would stay away from the machine shop. As you know, the tm's can be a little hard to understand, especially on the first go around. Im sure someone with experience on this unit will chime in to help. When setting to 20 degrees before tdc, turn the...

Issue resolved ! Changing out cvt1 seems to have done the trick. I can't thank Keith J and Speddmon enough for all their help! I would have had no idea of what to check. As a footnote, milbatteries.com has the adapter trays for converting 6tl's to the optima 34 for $14 each and will sell to...
