    Halftrack Repair

    Ran into a snafu with the brakes. Upon further inspection, I found that the bottom of the shoes are worn into the rivits. They will need replacement...parts ordered! I took the backing plate and other parts to work, gave them a good steam cleaning and yesterday gave them a coat of paint. It...

    Fuel not getting to the engine

    Yes there is, but it is not a service item. It is there solely to stop any debris from an internal fuel pump failure from reaching the injectors. All it is is a stainless screen filter with a magnet inside it. It is the only "filter" I have ever seen that flows from the inside to out.

    Changing Out Head Studs and Nuts?

    The only time a headbolt gets replaced is if there is pittimg in the fillet, the shank is heavily erroded or it is stretched past it's limit. The studs are very robust on the multi and they are a low torque item. As for shaving them, get a sanding block and clean the face...don't polish it, just...

    Plugged radiator?

    The last time I did a cooling system repair, I put a petcock in the intake manifold just in back of the stat. After the radiator filled, I put a pressure tester on the rad and gave it a few pumps 'till coolant came out of the vent. I then had to add about a gallon of coolant. I do not have a heater.

    Plugged radiator?

    Yeah, these are hard to fill and bleed, even with a fresh radiator. Another thing, DO NOT run the engine without a stat. These have two cooling loops, block and radiator. When the stat is closed, the stat shunts the coolant through the block loop. When the stat opens, it covers the hole in the...

    Wheel bearing removal - Rear Inner

    Get a heel bar and pop it off with that. It will just slide right off. Maybe someone used loctite on it?

    Plugged radiator?

    The multi is tough to get all the air out. Another thing, verify the dash gauge with a known good gauge. You could be chasing your tail!

    Fuel not getting to the engine

    Another thing to look at is the manual shut off. If you used that to shut the engine off last, you'll need to manually go flip the lever back on. It is located at the outlet line off of the pump.

    Small radiator leak

    Coarse ground pepper or a cigarette or two. Put a tablespoon of pepper in the radiator and run it. A cig will do the same thing. Put the tobacco in the radiator and it will plug the leak like the pepper. Both have got me outa the woods..well, desert actually! Will work for 6 months or so.

    Oil Pan Leaking

    Before you go and do the gasket, make sure that is what is leaking. Oil runs downhill and the fan will blow it all over the place. Look hihger on the engine. The leak path will be the clean spot...as in no dirt/dust stuck to it.

    Thanks to moderators

    I believe the last post is what got things rolling. He was WAY out of line and the language was something reserved for a bar at dockside. 2cents
