The 40 psi relief valve (40 psi based on TM9-2815-204-35) means that there is an oil leak that opens at a galley pressure above 40 psi. You would need to have 60 to 80 psi pressure drop across the filters/ cooler to get 100 to 120 psi at the pump. The filter/ cooler have differential relief...

I think that it was 157. That "7" seems to suggest something is at an upper limit (stud or deck).

Check the TM but I don't believe that any one regulator is for the turbo only. I think that one on the side is for the piston squirters and one is for main oil galley.

You won't increase your idle pressure by adjusting the regulator.

Well, none of this is especially encouraging. I have two White multifuels built in the early 80s.

On the advice from deuceman51, backed out the droop screw about 1.5 turns. Started up this morning at about 2°F. The flame heater did work but it seems like it works best if you modulate it a little bit off/ on while cranking instead of holding it on.

It would seem that they do exist: http://www.yesterdaystractors.com/cgi-bin/viewit.cgi?bd=oliver&th=174105

TM9-2815-204-35 probably has the best oiling diagrams for the multi (Figure 18 on page 9 and Figure 19 on page 11). There is no check valve for the oil filters shown on either figure and no mention in the text. Where would it be located? The valves on the side of the block are for the...

I have read about quite a few broken rods; can't remember many broken cranks?

There are portable tools which can identify different alloys. One could remove the balancer to obtain access to the crankshaft if really curious. I haven't been able to find anything on a 1548 alloy; wondering if the numbers are transposed. Taylor's book only recommends 4140 or 4340 for...

I interpreted the tractor post that there was a visible difference. There is a guy about a hour from where I grew up who parted out maybe a hundred deuces and disassembled many multifuels. I was discussing the crank issue with an old friend today. One time when visiting this dismantler, my...

There are two different td blocks.

This is interesting and suggests that the military crank was much heavier than the tractor. Maybe the weaker crank was the one from the tractor and ended up being used in the military apps to save $...

White would have been making engines for both the military and their tractors (apparently from 1976 to 1988 http://www.tractordata.com/farm-tractors/000/5/7/570-white-2-155.html )

Was that Hercules only or White as well?

It isn't like he dropped off a box of chocolates at your door with a thank you note. He poured something into your tank at night and in secret. Either he is an idiot or a vandal. I'd be nervous about either type.

We had an actual -36F without wind chill last year (at least according to my outdoor thermometer).

I have never lived outside of SD so it is fascinating to hear that it can get that cold in Georgia. IMHO, it doesn't get difficult to start a diesel until you drop below 15-20°F. Unless you NEED to run the deuce during the really cold days, I'd let it rest and wait until it warms up. On the...

How "cold" does it get in Georgia? I doubt that you will need one for a properly running multi.

I drive a 17 year old car that typically has two "dry" starts every day. That is 6205 "dry" starts so far without issue. I am sure many here have older cars than mine. Most of the multifuel failures seem to have been catastrophic rod bolt failure with no indication of rod bearing wear. The...
