I may be able to drive it up there or load on a trailer, depends on time frame.

That is exciting news, I hope both of us will have running engine videos soon!

Spark plug would tell me it's running rich.

Just found this post, I remember being stuffed in these in 1985 and 1986 at FT Leonard Wood MO during basic training and AIT. I also recall the DI having plenty of space at the door while the rest of us sweating our buts off stuffed in like sardines.

My plan as well, I am going to strap the shoes and bleed them with the drums off so I can check for leaks.

More work accomplished on the brakes today. Now have the two carrier brake assemblies installed. The RH side had a loose wheel bearing so I took it apart and serviced the bearings, seals looked fine. Took apart and cleaned the remaining 4 backing plates, and installed new wheel cylinders...

Have a safe trip Mark and please post up some pictures of the trip, get that new owner signed up here as well.

Yup, have had pretty good luck doing that with a few goat parts, looks good.

Well it was worth a look anyway. I try myself to save as much as I can of any part as some are hard to find.

Yup, the gift that just keeps on giving. When you crack the drum seal you never know what you are going to get, stale air, water, brake fluid, grease or asbestos dust.

Looks like a US M116 Pack Howitzer.

Pulled the remaining drums, found one more set of clean shoes, good news. The bad, right carrier had a pint of dot 5 in it, RH rear tractor had self destructed shoe, the missing pad section was turned into powder and it scored the drum pretty well. Plenty of extra drums so not a problem. The...

Not wanting to pay $95+ for a new engine stop cable I found a 9' generic heavy duty cable at NAPA. I had the handle from my broken cable so I drilled/tapped two 8/32 set screw holes in the side of the old handle, removed the new handle by cutting it off with a cutoff wheel. Slid the old handle...

Way too far for me!

Not listed as a MWO but I do have drawing 12296488 Instruction, engine electrical harness replacement kit dated 3-14-80. This shows the new harness that bypasses the large negative/positive at the harness connector.

You have to remove the valve cover and see if the mechanism that controls the "rack" on each of the three injectors is moving freely. The engine manual will have pictures of the assembly.

They could easily be made and you would never be able to tell. These are of very simple construction, easily as in how they are constructed. It still will take fab time and sourcing materials to make them. Once my goat is up and running I would be willing to make some. Shipping cost would be...

Sounds like it could be the injector "rack" sticking, a common problem if they sit for a long time.

A while back I dropped off my radiator at the radiator shop to have it cleaned/tested. I received a call from the shop and the radiator core is rotten and has to be replaced. I was quoted $450 for the work so I decided to wait. Some time back Saturn was selling new radiators for $220 or so...

I need to secure the material first. There is a State Prison near by and they do this sort of work, I am going to take mine there and see if they can do it for me. No time frame as of yet.
