Collecting firewood last Winter (my son's '53 M37).

Bypassing the FDC in basic terms. Move screw IN to REDUCE fuel delivery.

Have samples analyzed and compare the results, should be the same in the IP as in the crankcase...the oil passes right through and should not accumulate.

The piston within the FDC is springloaded and will not "bounce around". There should be no fuel pressure at the FDC input when bypassed correctly. Check your fuel system for possible air leaks.

Thanks guys! PMs sent to deuceman and BFR...

Yes it would Joel, but the 8x8 piece is longer, so I'll have to splice in a section regardless. That's why I'm just asking for the flange end, which would lessen the shipping cost and also let me use an otherwise damaged item, tip smashed or whatever.

Right, my error, as you may or may not have noticed, the image is correctly identified...just used to seeing your model number, I guess. :-)

Tatra t813 uses a similar cab.

Thanks Joe, the truck is sitting in the yard with the cab lifted off (see separate thread on this), but when I get it back together, I'd like to put the exhaust pipe on it, say 2 weeks or so... The image shows the flange. I have the tip and will have to get a section of pipe from a muffler shop...

Looking for a straight section of the exhaust pipe with the flange portion in good condition...don't care about the rest of it. Need to custom make a longer version for my 8x8 after I realized that the muffler apparently slows down the turbo response time. It uses the 3-1/2" O.D. pipe. TIA

Looks like they moved the engine cooling fan to the side instead of running it thru the cab...should make a roomy interior...

Don't hear much about it nowadays so much, but tires can be repaired, see TM9 2610-200-14 and more.

Congrats Joe! Nice project, looking forward to some detail revelations on this one.

Interesting how they mounted the manifolds upside down...

The bracket is back on, just waiting for a couple of silicon rubber O-rings that had to be ordered special for the oil cooler.

Yes. Also, if you plan on pressurizing the system, make sure that the shift boot is air tight.

Nice solution! Did you add drain holes?

Like so many other things, the idea has been around for a while. Image from PS magazine 1955.

Looks beautiful! How did you handle the fuel tank? I have this thing about clean fuel, especially for a multifuel engine. :-) How about the ground path for light fixtures, paint is a pretty good insulator? Lived near Ballard in the sixties, close to Queen Anne Hill, right? Keep up the good work!

Lex, I wouldn't worry about the brand, they should all work, but may or may not survive a short circuited load...
