There is no benefit to rotating the batteries; top to bottom, right to left, etc. Each receives the same charge.

None of the MAN embellishments are required to make it a multifuel. They may make it easier, but they are not required.

There is ONE thing which makes it a multifuel: high compression ratio. The rest is just embellishment.

Longer battery life, too.

I have seen very large diesel engines which run on natural gas and light off using a diesel pilot injection.

The average deuce alternator is 60A. At 28V and 75% efficient that is ~3.2HP. Not enough of a load to prevent wet stacking no matter the size of the battery bank. There was a paper that came out recently which indicated engine life is cut in half when wet stacked compared to full load operation.

There is ONE thing which allows the engine to burn varioius fuels and that is the compression ratio.

Memphis equipment made a kit to replace the gears and have a manual engagement (REB). I recently swapped out the whole transfer case due to wear issues (not REB related). The REB worked fine. I do not know if Memphis still offers this kit.

The bottom of the goat column is female spline. How did you attach a u-joint? A small section of splined shaft?

Can you post a copy of the CAD drawing?

According to the Continental literature, the water jacketed intake was designed to heat the air in cold weather.

Anecdotal information on the white tractor engine life: Today's Tractors :: View topic - White 2-155 Hercules engine ?

Maibach Tractor has the high compression pistons/sleeves. AFAIK, the tractor has the same combustion chamber design as the multifuel, just lower compression.

A rod knowck will also get louder as the engine gets warmer. My truck also makes a knock when cold; I have suspected that it was a loose valve.

Even a full rear exhaust on my bobbed deuce, there was a ton of whistle noise from under the hood with the C turbo. You will be miles ahead in noise reduction if you get the D turbo.

So, was it Continental, White, then Hercules? I have what appears to be a Hercules manuf in the late 60s.

You misinterpreted my post. My intent was to state that there seems to be a common belief that the law requires a mechanical connection and yet an OEM has produced a vehicle wihtout said connection. This implies that these law(s) no longer exist.

I am 99% sure that it WAS illegal in SD. However, I can't find the old motor vehicle code book. It appears like the consensus is that there must be a mechanical connection between the steering wheel and the front axle. However, Chevy had the quadrasteer in their pickups and I can't imagine...
