    wood-gas generator

    Yea the 1969 date showed up when the server was switched over. I lost the rank at that time too. Although my M35 won't do 88MPH And i'm glad it won't. It's all i can do to hold it in 3 lanes at 55MPH. I also saw the 60MIN show on the GOV and his coal. I think it's a great idea. It won't...

    wood-gas generator

    I'm studying a method for pumping the gas into a propane tank. Then powering the engine from that at a later time. Generating gas while doing other tasks in the yard and then using it during the week sound more resonable to me. But i need to get a day off first!. Even if i can't produce enough...

    Use of mixed fuel.

    At 60% i bet your injector nozzles stay pretty clean. It's great you have a fuel source, I bet fuel prices are outrageous over there. It changes with the price of fuel, but i mix used motor oil and diesel in mine. I do have to change the fuel filters often but they are cheeper than running...

    Rod journals

    I'm looking for the rod journal dia for a LDS 465 1A. I found the dia for the 427 in TM 9-2815-204-35. The TM shows 2.977 to 2.976 for the 427. Are the crankshafts the same? Thanks,

    Source for NOS deuce cables

    Kenny, I got a hand throttle cable from boyce equipment about a year ago. It looked just like the orginal and still works great. I use the lock on it all the time when running air tools off the truck.

    Ball Joint

    I rebuilt my front end last may. The king bushings are mounted in the knuckles. If you look on top and bottom of the knuckles you will see 4 bolts . These bolts hold the bushings. I strongly sudjest you remove the hubs, spindles and brake backing plates. It's a lot easier to move the knuckles...

    Who has turned up your fuel?

    I've turned up a few trucks, And none of them were the same amount. Each engine will respond a little different. For instance if yours is higher milage or hours then it will have more blow by and not respond as well. If your engine has seen a lot of dirty fuel and the turbo is fouled then it...

    deuce road trip preparation

    I just figured out why everybody is getting such poor milage. Your trucks are overloaded with spare parts! Sorry i couldn't resist. I think the best thing is to make sure you truck is in good shape before you leave. If not, don't go. I've been able to count on mine to get me home even when...

    My new M52A2

    Bad news for the tractor. It has a knock that i thought was a diesel knock when fuel is puddling on the pistons. But after running it yesterday i'm convenced it's internal. Getting under the truck it sure sounds like a rod. I think i lost the injector pump also. I've got no throttle responce...
