    This is not an illusion. This is for real. I counted them. All in storage during a slow spell in W. Colton receiving yard. Probably all gone into service by now. Pic was taken in 2009. The locos were stored in the yard so there wouldn't be any scavenging or the copper wiring, etc.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    I had a look at my heater core. It looked good. I added some cushioning on the bottom to keep it from banging around inside the heater box. It should last a good while. Now I have to get those 2 bolts that mount the diagonal bracket to the firewall to thread into something. I know they were...

    Allison MT654CR oil leak

    Well the Service manual calls it a drain tube. I knew that. Was wondering if anyone has had their trans apart with this same problem. I'm thinking it would be the output shaft seal leaking around the outside diameter. Any ideas?

    Allison MT654CR oil leak

    I have an Allison MT-654CR trans that is leaking out of a small black tube at the rear of the trans tailshaft. Does anyone know what this tube goes to and why it might be leaking fluid? The truck is a 1990 BMY M923A2. Thanks for your help.

    Ever see inside the Protective Control Box?

    Thanks all for the great info. I just got my 923A2 the other day and it was missing the PCB so I am learning a lot. I will see if I can jumper the wires and get it running. If anyone has a core PCB that they don't need/want, I could use one!
