Try some JOHN DEERE multi purpose spray lube. You will like it!

It is a good idea to fully fill any oil filter before installing on these engines, but it is especially important to fill the "2 quart" filter to prevent dry starts!

Big block engines in Chevy and GMC medium duty trucks came out factory with this filter a long time ago. I have never seen any problem with the spin on adapter. This long filter actually adds 1 quart capacity above a standard filter. The increased filtration media is as big a plus as the...

I have a pyrometer on a John Deere 4 wheel drive tractor rated at 235 drawbar HP. Engine HP is 275. This is a 6 cylinder turbo with inner cooler Under normal load it runs about 900 degrees. I am told to not pull it hard enough to reach 1000 degrees. Above 1000 degrees metal goes to doing funny...

Congratulations on a job well done! Please post some pics. I bet it looks nice!

I second this motion!! The wax at the right temp will run into tight spaces, let it cool and it will expand enough to separate the two pieces. The wax also is a lubricant to ease further movement.

There is a good chance that it is the bullet that Jed Clampett shot at the rabbit with his black powder gun when he struck oil. It would take a heavy bullet like this to reach an oil formation. There was not any way of controlling how far one of these bullets went after shooting it, so it could...

You did install the starter brace on the end of your starter didn't you? If not you are asking for more trouble. With the oversize hole this starter will be prone to breaking mounting bolts and or the holes in the block.

I agree 100% with you doghead! I always buy AC DELCO starters & alternators or rebuild the old ones. A correctly rebuilt DELCO starter will outperform any aftermarket starter and it will fit correctly. And you are being good to your flywheel and engine block at the same time. I recommend AC...

New heavy duty flasher units have fixed a lot of problems on my 5 cucv's. I change them both when I get a new to me cucv!

Is there a way to install electric windshield wipers on the M915A-1? Has anyone done this already? If this drought breaks in western OK wipers will be in style again! All help appreciated!

On my favorites list CUCV Electric has shown "Stand By...Site updating" for some time. That looks better than not available anymore or check address!

I have a lot of hard to take apart things on the farm. John Deere has a multi purpose spray lube that I like. It is a thin liquid spray that is a penetrant as well as a lubricant. It will work when others fail for me. If this fails like on an exhaust stud that is frozen to manifold I heat it...

I am not familiar with these S&S vehicles, but is reverse .509 or 5.09 ratio?

I would like to have this info as well to convert one of my M1031's. Even the 4.56 dually rear ends are hard to find!

I use my M1031 every day on the farm. I have a Pro Fab bale bed mounted on it. Hauls hay year round due to drought, hauls pallets of feed, seed, and everything else. It have pulled 11 big round bales loaded on a 33' tandem dual trailer out of soft sandy fields. I pull a 1000 gallon nurse tank to...

I also recommend changing both flashers with high quality heavy duty ones. Even if they work part of the time they are usually old and a source of problems. These are inexpensive so replace them both!

I would like to see a dedicated forum for the M915, M916, M920 series. This would make the best better!

Probably all 3 of the above. He didn't even take the bottom pan off and say look at this, you need a rebuild!

Yes indeed on the improved steering! Power steering by Arm Strong!!!
