Be sure to download the manual. Your brakes are not hard to adjust but do them the correct way.

You are doing well. I for one am cheering you on.

Look at plumbing supplies. The fiber washer assortment will fix you up.

For sure, replace all 6 rod bearings. Try it and see.

Military air horns are a great reminder to stay in their lane.

Just for your peace of mind, I suggest pulling all 6 rod bearings. If you aren't dead broke, replace with new bearing shells. You have already got the oil pan off.

If the rod bearings look OK, shine a bright light at the wrist pins and piston skirts. It's a possibility. An aside, be sure the water distribution tube behind the water pump is not rusted away. The #6 cylinder suffers if this item is bad.

I have reused a converter from a bad transmission by flushing well and using an external filter on the return line from the transmission cooler. If you are poor, roll the dice.

The control lever should be at the bottom of the control panel or just below.

That's great news so far. Good job.

With a photo, I'm sure one of us could get you fixed up. We have a brush truck with a Hale gasoline pump, wiring will be similar.

Me too.

That is present on some firetruck. Opens up tank to supply pump.

Oh for an independent auto parts store where the counter person would take the sample and come up with a new one. I'm glad to have that in my area.

What engine are you working on?

It varies by the size of the journal as I remember. Find an older Motors Manual. It has information on plastigauge use and bearing clearances, maybe on the engine you are working on.

Good job on that. Even if the seal leaks, it should be good for your purpose.

Or a hole pinched out of the seat cover!

I had excellent results using KBS sealant. You can use 5 gallons of vinegar on the Jerry cans. Let it work a week or so.
