You guys are mind readers! Again, the weekend the jeeps go out. Saltydeuce, Go buy some Barrs Leak, 3 or four of the small bottles, Pour the contents into a strainer and wash off the liquid then put just the pellets in the cooling system. We used to do that all the time at Cummins when the old...

M3 and M8 are the same but different. W/P, head, probably the rods, crank, gear train will probably swap. The block is different, but the same, there is a casting on the w/p side that, on the M8, is machined out for the oil filler/crankcase vent. Carb, exhaust are unique to the M8 as is the oil...

I used strips the plastic pipe for electric wires....forget what it is called. Put them between the cab and leg, works good. If you used the ring for it's intended purpose, easy peasy to unlash it from the cab and roll it to the windshield frame. Careful, hot brass will leave a mark!

They can be repaired, just make sure the o rings you get are viton or something else that ULSD won't attack

It looks like maybe a 3-53, whatever, that would be one noisy ride!

The next port down or up the rifle from where the sender for the gauge is. And, an FYI, There are no TS trees for "lubricating oil pressure high" from Cummins, only for low oi pressure.

The pressure is regulated in the pump. The oil pressure is taken from a galley after filtering. It is possible for the crappy baldwin filter to be normal baldwin junk and the oil is bypassing the filter, cummins will bypass the filter if the differential is too high, dirty oil is better than no...

Last of them....The floats needed adjustment, the book had a picture of the tool used to bend/adjust the floats, it wasn't in the kit, so I made one. Now, onto the clutch and brakes. Thankfully the throttle has been converted form hydraulic to a Morse cable!

Rebuilding the carb, again, nice to have the proper tools and books. After the carb was installed, I put new oil and filter in the engine, had to re mark the stick, it was marked 3 qts too low. The engine fired with little cranking....would have lit faster if I remembered to take the cap off of...

Since the packing date was way before I was born and 2 years after my father was born, I wasn't surprised to find the gaskets hard as nails, that is an easy fix and I could have made new gaskets if they were destroyed, so they were re hydrated in boiling water. This will make the gasket pliable...

After the pan was back up, the engine spinning freely and spark again...amazing that, when it takes 400 amps to spin an engine, you can loose spark!....on to the carb issues. The vehicle has an electric fuel pump on it, but we think it was putting out too much pressure, so a 1.5 to 4 was...

It has been a productive couple of week at the Museum. No pics before of the crankcase in a dry condition, but here are some of it after using the pre lube system. The "washers" are the felts that go on the pick up tube/screen filter and the scavenging pump discharge on the windage tray. The...

BIG shout out for his help today dragging a no brake M35A2 from Glendora to the Museum in So. El Monte. Much easier with someone familiar wit MV's. Again, if you need some help, give me a call!

I agree with NDT, if it hasn't been used in a while....sitting kills things, I am dealing with that constantly....it is time to service the fuel system. Also check for full throttle travel and make sure the shut down rod isn't stuck half way to the shut down side, it should be pushed toward the...

Here's a quick diagram of how to install a clear line and tell whether or not it's before or after the pump where you're losing your Prime. When you install the clearline make sure it either has a loop or a big hump in it. If the fuel drains back from the fuel pump side it's the check valve, if...

Because of the overflow valve and the 2 check valves in the lift pump, fuel should not bleed back from the fuel pump to the lift pump. Usually if there is a leak before the engine, the engine will fire, idle for an bit and then shut off, it will take lots of cranking to re light it. Since you...

There is always bubbles in the return, don't use that as a troubleshooting step for air intrusion. Best to pull from a clean bucket of go juice directly into the pump with a clear line or use a sight glass at the pump inlet so you can see if there is air intrusion before the pump. It will take...
