RE: battery I use "Walmart" batteries too. They are over six years old now. My 8x8 with the LDS465-2 engine was designed for two batteries and later changed to hold 4 each for extra reserve capacity. Two batts will be the minimum you can use.

The decision is up to ther manager of the restaurant. The renderer will place a grease dumpster at the reastaurant for a fee of perhaps $300/year and collect ALL kitchen grease and used VO, including some water and cleansers. I work with the manager of the one restaurant reasonable near me and...

Masking tape and paint. :-)

RE: Engine Prelubricator I think Bottleworks is wondering about the hose near the turbo housing...

Color according to PS Magazine....

Don't know if the images do justice to my statement above, but here they are, before and after. Some cracks in the lens was revieled by the Brasso, perhaps a good pressure wash will take care of that (the Brasso caught in the cracks, that is). Note: I'm a "functions" kind of guy, not a "restorer".

My xm757 lenses were very "faded" also and my intent was to look for replacements, but after polishing them up with Brasso, they are very acceptable now. Don't know about the fit of new ones....

Thanks, also, I'll see what I can find at Aberdeen. As always, this is a hobby and if it takes a year or two, who cares. :-)

If you decide to part them out, you'd get your money back pretty quickly even if you paid $1,000/ea. Used to sell on DRMS for about $500 or so. Transportation could become an issue.

The black rectangle shows the shaft where a leak would occur if at all. The shaft/bore is the only connection between the fuel and the IP governor housing.

Looks good. Can't tell from the image, but did you angle the hooks, align them with the direction of pull? I'm asking because it's not hard to deform them unless you use a spreader bar when they are facing straight forward. Picture below is from the 1940's showing hooks installed at an angle...

Seems like the first part of this thread is missing, here is a picture of his truck. What year is it? Any chance to see the data plates?

You may want to take a look at the hi-lo beam switch also, especially since both lo beams are effected.

Robert, if you suspect the FDC, just replace it. It is an easy job, I have had mine off for modifications. If the FDC leaks, it would effect its calibration. I'd like to know the real reason for bypassing them, if they are bypassed there will be a slight increase in fuel delivery for any fuel...

Consider the xm757 as a test for the Aervoe 997B (24084), Vietnam era Semi Gloss O.D. I love the color, it matches old paint almost perfectly and has a hard finish. It also looks different when the light changes, from more green to more black (the steering gear below the lights in the image is...

Painting some of the parts...

RE: What era does that color represent? A very clean specimen of the deuce family...

Just curious, was this fixed?

Looks good, some heavy duty plumbing there. :-)

Right, the original idea was to be able to monitor the oil filters. As usual with some of these gauges, once one knows the readings, they become less important, showing the same numbers over and over....
