Here is another idea: http://www.stovebolt.com/techtips/steeringwheel.htm

We can get the same HP out of the LDT by simply turning up the fuel. Why does anything else really matter?

I think that I'd try to make one out of a c-clamp with a "U" to fit behind the wheel.

I had opportunity to test my starter over the holiday. The overnight low was 7 °F. The gear reduction starter spun the engine over strong and, after a few tries, the engine started. This is using #2 battery cables. A few years ago, we had an overnight low of 4 °F. At that time, even with...

If I recall correctly, Continental demonstrated this horsepower level "while maintaining multifuel capabilities" meaning that they kept the high compression level. Whether or not it is a good idea ??? this was never a factory horsepower rating.......

The LDS Troubleshooting manual shows both solid and hollow pins. Why would you want to ruin a cummins?

If you want accurate answers, you really have to get out the textbooks and read up; not on steelsoldiers. Get a copy of Taylor's two volume set on internal combustion engine design which discusses multifuel engine design. The ONE thing which makes the "multifuel" a multifuel is the high...

I've been considering one of the 1kW ducted defrosters from this site. Would be nice to have instant heat to defrost the windows instead of waiting for the multi to warm up. http://www.sportsimportsltd.com/usa-made-24-volt-ducted-electric-heater.html

I agree with everything you said except that, according to Continental's LDS465-1 Troubleshooting manual, the maximum LDS boost is 20" Hg which is equivalent to an even lower thresholod of 9.8 psi. Which means that almost anybody who has turned up their LDT pump has LDS power.

That "bigger" turbo uses a nozzle ring to spool up what is otherwise too big of a turbo for this engine. The D is supposedly capable of the same boost.

It will prevent the driveline windup. I agree you'd be money ahead to get the air shift xfercase, though.

What is the problerm with this? Someone posted here recently that they installed lockouts with a sprag xfercase and it worked fine.

The sprag transfer case works in all gears.

If I tap hard on the guage, it toggles between two positions. Could be your guage or sender.

Not going to work if you want use it withe the common implement PTO speeds

Tractor PTOs spin the opposite direction of the transfer case PTO. That and the fact that the deuce PTO is not live limits their usefulness.

Just looking at the engines, the cummins has a bit of an edge in fuel efficiency: 6CTA 8.3 Cummins: 0.392 lb/bhp-hr LDS465: 0.430 lb/bhp-hr

I have a '53 Studebaker M35 and would like to add turnsignals. I have the obvious components: switch, flasher, and the modern tail lights but it appears that the main harness is different on the gas truck. What do you recommend as easiest/ best?

$206 shipped. I didn't know that modifications were required when I bought it but it is still worth it to have a NEW one.

Got it installed and running. It takes a few modifications. 1) I had to elongate the holes in the exhaust manifold and in the intake manifold to allow the intake to move further inward towards the head. I used allen head bolts in place of the exhaust manifold studs due to lack of room to get...
