Here in SD, I set the GVWR to whatever I want.... Of course, I cannot exceed axle/ wheel maximum weight, etc.

I've had the best luck using loctite to seal studs into water jackets. Especially if the threads are a bit worn in the block/ head.

I have a low mileage REB kit. PM me if you are interested.

Well, I bought a MF cheap enough just to satisfy my curiosity and am wondering as to what it really takes for a swap. Radiator, side covers, grill, accelerator pedal bellcrank, front x-member, ????

Loctite makes a gap filling retaining product which may be worth a try.

Most folks seem to be happier with the marketing department.

I have an advanced engineering degree with seven years in product development. What I stated stand as appropriate criticisms of anecdotal claims.

I don't put much stock in "anecdotal" evidence. First off, you have no control group so you don't have any idea what would have happened without the additive. Second, your sample size is far too small to be statistically significant. Third, you are lacking the failure analysis to prove your...

I have searched but haven't found any threads which discuss the more nuanced differences. I understand that replacement fenders were included in the MF retrofit kit. Does anyone know if the taller side covers/ grill were included in the retrofit or are a REQUIREMENT for a MF? So, which...

I bought a MF grill/ cover for my gas truck only to find that the MF is an inch taller and that the side covers are correspondingly different (the gas side covers taper toward the front whereas the MF are straight). Why was this done? Was it done to fit the MF in a gas truck? What other...

No, you do not. This has been thouroughly debunked.

Has anyone thought about using the Roosamaster IP from the White tractor? Supposedly much easier and cheaper to rebuild.

Yep, part of the chassis lubrication system.

Well, two reboots and I still can't post attachments.....

50wt engine oil is indeed the correct lubricant for a spicer transmission of this vintage/ design. See the attached scan from my 50s Reo maintenance manual. The local truck shop has it on the shelf.

Pretty miserable customer service all around. How hard can it be for them to look it up?

I would speculate that it was a compromise to make logistics simpler.

The correct lubricant for the spicer transmissions is 50wt engine oil.

One other interesting point is that the LDS piston cooling channel only decreases piston top ring temperature by 100°F (only 50% of the squirted oil makes it into the channel). "Oil is circulated through this annulus to reduce the temperature of the ring groove and thereby eliminate the...

Easiest way is to go to SAE website store and search "papers" or "transactions" for "multifuel". There is quite a bit out there. I wasn't able to get a photocopy through interlibrary loan for ANY of the "papers". The transactions should be in a library near you and available through...
