The tags are all there, however, they can't be read. Too corroded. I have a list that I made with what things are and where they need to be for each op. We have found some tags on e-pay. Actively looking for things so when I die, there will be no guessing. I did "re manufacture" the control tags...

I do not remember seeing that. Thank you!

OK, think I fixed the issue with pictures. For some reason they were being saved as JFIF. We'll see at the end of this. After the bout of troubleshooting with the help of @BLK HMMWV , I came to the delusion that there was something amiss in the pump or power divider. I was dreading dropping the...

Yeah, yeah. Still there. Pump is in pieces parts. I have issues uploading pics. I'll see what I Can do

The plugs are there so that fuel can be drained as to not make a giant mess when servicing and I think a troubleshooting port, although I have never used it. IIRC when the pump is on the stand, there is a fixture installed into one of them, and to use accessories like a high idle governor. One...

It really isn't hard. Put it back where you found it.

Or the #8 spark plug on a 5.7LS in a Tahoe or any GM truck for that matter!

If you are versed on repairing, that is the most cost effective thing to do. Before you go buy a kit, pull it and tear it down. Pass a hone through it to see if the bore has pits in the bottom of it. No pits, rebuild it. If it is pitted, you'll need a new one. If it is a rebuildable cylinder...

First thing is to remove the inlet fitting at the rear of the pump and use a mirror to look inside the hole. Have "soldier B" crank the engine and you watch the gear pump teeth turn. If they do turn, the gear pump is not broken. On top of the pump is a large plug with a slot in it. There is a...

I think it requires a finger wave! Getting old does indeed suck!

I ran gas diesel all the time when FedEx van drivers fueled their vans with gas. They would tow to us and we would have it pumped out to the tune of $400 per truck, 25 gallons! After 2 or 3 of these, I asked if I could have the stuff. I was asked why, told them, and they said OK. It benefitted...

Fenders are fiberglass, to avoid rust, grill and radiator cover are steel. The hood raises like a regular hood, hinges at the cowl, and the side panels un hook and come completely off for "easy" access. The hatch was used to use whatever flavor bang stick that the SA had at the time. out the top...

We were at Kern River, Limestone campground, and went down to McNalleys for a burger when all of a sudden I see this big ol truck pull slowly into the lot. From the distance it was I thought it was an old MB, but as it got closer, it wasn't! It was a Saurer 2DM. The couple didn't stay long, they...

Four strokes had and have them still. If the engines are operated in an environment that has the capability to produce flammable gasses, oil field, off shore oil rig, refineries, not so much anymore, and some land fills, they are equipped with an engine ECM controlled flapper in the intake...

I saw that. Remember though, this is not an Army Museum, it is the National Guard Museum. Now I am not throwing stones at our Guardsmen, HOWEVER, the wrecker I am currently neck deep in was a NG unit. I can testify that the work performed on this unit was not the best. I am trying to rectify the...

Did a bit more TS on the wrecker. With the help of "soldier B", that would be the @BLK HMMWV guy, he actually stayed off the phone, we located the majority of the air leaks. They were the lines for the rear winch clutch lever. The fittings were falling off! The gauge on the dash says there is...

Thank you sir! I see you are missing the governor actuation link for the rear winch.

I actually reached out to them via phone. Very helpful! They are in process of boxing up ALL of their publications and sending them off to somewhere else, the lady told me where, but, CRS ya know! They said they, their publications, are just taking up space and they want them gone. She said they...

Thank you, Sir!

Update! we got oil back in it last week. Fired it off and gave things a try, nuttin! Oil level is at the full mark on the stick, PTO engaged, trans in 4th for the first try, I got nothing, no hydraulic pump noise, no load on the engine. I rolled under it and started looking around. The ball...
