And, for me at least, it is all nuts and bolts. There are specific procedures to follow, those are easy to decipher or find, common sense.... But someone gave me a skill and I am thankful. I do find myself wanting to stop using my skills, occasionally, but I need something to do and something...

Yup, we chatted about that briefly today. Me thinks it will be much more than he thinks.....

Starting brakes. The pedal was stuck, so, went under it, took the pin out of the MC rod/pedal and the pedal was free. Took the MC out. It looked OK, a slight bump on the piston and it freed up. Clear...sorta...fluid came out of the end. Tore it apart. The first thing that I saw was, judging by...

It sat for a week before it was fired again with the new FP. And yes, it will get a complete fluid change, engine, trans, t-case, pto, maybe the diffs, but it will not see the road, diffs are a maybe. Oh yeah, brakes too.

I think I am good for now. Carb should be here today, got the lathe tools I was waiting for, so lots of stuff to be done. I do miss Boom Boom, the smell, the noise, the feeling when everything done leaves it's spot, but late night and I don't get along. Takes a day or so to feel....normal...

NOTICE THE BILBOARD!

Another update. FP installed....no room for a socket, so hand jive an open end wrench, CHECK. Fuel filter can installed. CHECK. @BLK HMMWV was there to give me a hand today. He looked at the filter and can and says, "hey, this thing is cracked!" I say, BS, it rings like a bell. Well, when...

Boiling water is your friend in that case. Put the gaskets in a deep pan, boil some water, pour it over the gaskets and let them sit. In a short time they will be back to their original size and pliable again.

While I was waiting for the Blaster parts cleaner to work some magic on a FP for an R6602, I fiddled with the launchers a bit....well one anyway. The top needed turning down a bit, about .010. We got the lathe working, so I made a center out of a brake lathe adapter, worked OK, but I'll wait for...

I ordered a FP rebuild kit from Then And Now in Mas. Did that on Friday afternoon, 1400 here, that would be 1700 there. The owner answered the phone and took the order. It was here on Monday! I have to say, every time we use them, they blow me away with their service. I had pulled the FP last...

Yup. Made some progress yesterday. The fuel filter can is brass! Got that all cleaned out with the help of Evaporust as well as the filter and had to disassemble the draincock on the filter because it was stuck. The gasket for the can is paper, not a rubber seal like on a multi, it looks good so...

891 CPL was ReCon's rebuild of the 614 CPL MVT 400. They were good runners. ReCon re-engineered the new CPL to not have the variable timing and they were able to do that by NOT being the original engine mfgr. They were a rebuilder, even though they are a Cummins owned entity, so they went...

I think it is a '57. The engine was a depot ovh in "77 and there are tags for "corrosion proofing" from "84. The paint is peeling but under the peel is a nice SG Olive drab! There are also spots of red under some parts of the peeling paint on the wrecker bed. I'll post more pics of it a bit...

You are correct about the carb. The linkage was frozen and things weren't right in things attached to the linkage. The accelerator pump was also stuck. I was able to lube things up and get the linkage working but the operation was a bit wanky, it would stick when depressing the pedal sometimes...

Here are som pics of the beast. I forget how tall they are! M62. The R6602 was rebuilt in 77 at TEAD, the truck looks to be corrosion proofed in 1984. Looks like it has a "normal" power steering set up. I see the fittings. Yeah, different than normal. Went over things, oil, coolant, checked...

Didn't know about the fittings. I think we'll get it running in place, move to the shop and go from there. We talk about hyd hoses, would HATE to have one fail in process of a lift. I will keep you in mind, we do have a competent hose/fitting place out this way that served me well in my life at...

Not worried about shoulders, the neck is what messes with me since surgery, that, and since the neck stuff, I ain't as strong as I used to be.. Getting it up and going in place MIGHT be fairly easy since it was de-fueled and was running off of a pony tank. I do know brakes will be non existent...

OK, tomorrow we are gonna start trying to get the wrecker into the shop area. I am not familiar with these. Big 'ol gasser under the hood. The plan was to pull it out of it's spot, just enough to get behind it, and push it into the shop area, which involves a tight right and dog leg, down about...

It turns the same way as the engine turns. D-Max fan turns opposite engine rotation.
