When you added oil, did you fill it from the top (valve cover cap) or from the bottom (dipstick hole)?

NorthernTool.com has a couple overhead garage heaters on clearance today. 5000w for $76.99 pics show 3/4/5 kw settings 7500w for $65.99 pics show 7.5/5 kw settings Both of those are a "Keebar" brand, which I've never tried nor heard of before, but the price is cheap...

Hey, at least it still lives on as a parts machine! 👍 Thanks for sharing your experiences with the community.

I saw a gallon can of Seafoam at Menard's yesterday.

If the secondary filter was only half full, you likely still have air in the fuel system. You'll probably need to prime it for a while longer to get all of the air out. There are a pair of bleed screws on top of the secondary filter head. I'd crack the left screw a turn or 2 and prime it until...

Didn't they start making the 80x series around 1993? Any chance the 1995 MEP006A is actually an 806A? That could explain a JD engine.

I'm no expert, but that looks like a 60 amp 3 phase 5-wire plug. It might say 32-12 inside where the pins come out. Here's an older thread with some more info: https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/isuzu-powered-drash-5-pin-connectors.199832/ As far as a compatible generator goes, that...

Dug this up from one of my old posts in a different thread: Wix 33348 canister cartridge comes with the large diameter o-ring for the edge of the bowl. The pair of small rubber washers/gaskets that go around the bolt were both in Wix 15398 (gasket kit). I couldn't find any locally, so I...

What does your place have for heat source(s)? (Furnace, heat pump, space heaters, fireplace, etc.) I know the 803 at my in-law's will barely run half of their electric furnace, and that's with all other breakers turned off for that house. Their furnace has a pair of 240V 60A breakers. The...

If you need more space, you could use a coupler meant for electrical conduit. That would take the same pipe thread, and it's a fair amount thinner than the black or galvanized plumbing fittings.

What about something like this along with a npt to hosebarb fitting? This is from listing on ebay for a "New Frost Plug Heater Bushing Adapter 3/4" FNPT thread, 1-1/4" BUSHING, 32 MM OD". I can't guarantee it'd fit, but it seems like it could work if it were the right size.

That's not an old thermostat is it?

Seems like you're making progress! I don't remember if you mentioned earlier, but are your metering pumps made by Stanadyne or Delphi?

I shared some pics a while back when I was working in a stuck metering pump. In my case I only had to take the top half of my pump apart, but there might be something useful in these pics: https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/mep80xa-injector-pump-leak.209170/post-2441547...

Last time I was at my local Menard's store, I noticed they had a modest selection of free used appliances in the backyard near the lumber. An oven could make an easy load bank, and free is a nice round number. :D
