Thanks Bjorn:-D I guess I'm keeping a sort of log on this thread:wink:
Let me know if you see something that I can improve please speak up! As you can see i'm doing some improvments.
By the way, I found an electric cooling fan that will work perfectly. Only thing is that I cannot find a temp...
Did some more work today, used the needle gun to clean the old paint and suprisingly it worked very well. I think I will use this exclusivley at this time since its better than stripping all of the old paint off. I really would like to strip the complete interior but at the moment I need to have...
Finished the starboard side tail light circut for the LED's. Put the relays in a box and will be securing it to the inside top of one of the rear ammo lockers.
Also started repainting the passenger side. Going back with gloss white instead of the cream colored crap that was original.
HAHAHA! Well I will try and snap some tomorrow. This engine was on a Genset and it really doesn't look that bad outside and so but you know how that goes :roll:
Just picked up another multifuel and am thinking of making a pawer unit out of it. One problem though.....it was partially submerged and I'm thinking that its been sitting with water in it for a while.
Pulled the oil plug and several gallons of water came out, I dont know about the top end but...
Its 7 pieces that assemble into one. If you click on the repair manual link near the first part of this thread you can see some better pics. It's pretty much staked and bolted with some huge bolts then balanced. Its hollow too and both oil pumps pump oil through the crank through the front...
I also dropped the oil pan on my truck and took some video and pictures of the guts. This is a new engine but I wanted to double check the torque on the rods and crank “just in case” some lazy Czech mechanic decided to take a shortcut.
Wonderful piece of engineering, everything is on roller...
Sis came by saturday while my little bro and I were outside working pulling trees around to the burn pile and she made some videos while there. Some of while we were working and some just before we left to go eat in lafayette.
Wish she had come 20 minutes earlier. Y'all could have seen us move...
Hey guys, in the Wal-Mart flavor of batteries what is the decent/minimum CCA per battery that would be needed for the deuce?
Any of you guys run Wal-Mart batts and if so what do you get? I live in the south and cold starting is really not a problem.
Havent been able to do much work on my Praga latley guys. I've bought all of my lighting stuff but its been sitting in my shop. I've been working non-stop pretty much since my last post here with only a few days off here and there.
Yesterday I began to prep for the job though. Slid the 30mm...
Took your advice Chief1900 and polished them.........al I can say is WOW! Thanks for the tip, works a whole lot better than using Brasso too.
I recently gathered together all of the lights I wanted to use. I am replacing the original taillight asemblies with the Harbor Frieght units. They fit...
