I bet you will be able to repair that rate item. Hope it is just trash in the impeller.

I saw that the truck did start and run once in the interim made me suspect a loss of compression issue. Especially after ignition system was checked. Did you try a spray of starting ether? Like I mentioned, pull the plugs and spray P.B. Blaster or the like in the spark plug holes directed...

When you say "lifter cover" what exactly is that? I have not heard that term before. Looking down on the engine all I see is the head (where the spark plugs screw in). Could you clarify? That is the rectangular cover under the exhaust manifold. The operator's TM has good instructions. Perhaps...

If the starter is spinning the engine well, check the compression. If the compression is poor, pull the lfter cover and observe the valves for proper action as soldier B works the starter. May be as simple as rust on the valve stems after disuse. If that is the problem, spray penetrating oil in...

OH, one misses a manual transmission truck that can be pull started.

You might have a dimensional problem with the rotor. Is it a NOS part or reproduction? If you want, take the cap out of the shell and set it on the distributor. Have soldier B bar over the engine and feel for the rotor scraping. You can file the rotor contact down and clean up tracks in the cap...

those are all good suggestions. I might add to use a high lift farm Jack to break the beads if you don't have that handy tool. Slide the wheel assy. under the front bumper and use the Jack base on the tire and lift saddle under the bumper. Would suggest air the tire split ring facing the...

I don't think a think a t.b.i. unit would flow enough air but they were on some large v8 s. I have always been impressed by the power the 6602 engine has since i watched two 5 ton tractors move houses. They did the job at just above idle!

With the appearance of plug and play F.I. kits, has anyone thought about fuel injection for a Reo or Continental 6602? Could be a winner with the gasoline to be had these days. Maybe 8 mpg from a

You may also wish to consider what type of grease goes where. I suggest you use lithium type grease with bearings such as u-joints. I use black moly grease in sliding joints such as spring shackles , tie rod ends, and the like. Just my two cents worth. TomC

Somewhere at home i have some b/w photos of my truck and it's brothers at Fort Hood waiting to be sold. When I get home from my park volunteer job I'll find them and try to make them digital. I am old and behind in technology.

In the early 70s I bid on some M37s that were up for auction. I got the lot I wanted with one good truck and 2 parts trucks. The good truck was OD green with red fenders and a white hood. Stick on vinyl letters on the doord and tailgate read "Ordinance Disposal". All 3 trucks suffered some...

It looks similar to what is on WWII bomb trucks. In civilian use, could be used to deliver propane tanks.
