It would be fun to safety wire all those bolts that close together. You can buy the bolts drilled, or drill them yourself. I used to be good at safety wire, looked purty when I was done. I not so sure safety wire keeps them from backing out, or lets you know when one is loose by breaking the...

Think they have a inline hot water heater also. Trailer is a M1061, 14 foot deck, 5 ton. 5500 lbs empty, but useful.

Make sure the lugnuts are tight for him! Better use the 1" impact at about 200 psi...

The perkins diesel on my massey, uses the same block as the gasser. But it's only 60hp Grandma had a diesel olds, it was a good car for us. Think she had the pump replaced once. But it was not driven hard.

oil line between the injector pump and block.

Gimp must have called DH right after I talked to him. Told him about the slack adjuster, but I don't have a lot of experience with them. And said DH would know!

Looks like you will miss me, I will be at work till 4.

I am reusing the oil from you gimp in the crane and lift. But if he is in a pinch, I can oil/fuel him up. I will PM my number to you in case you have any problems near my place.

I've stowed and attached jib booms before, they attached on the side of the crane boom. That would be a job, taking that sucker off.

If you are on route 30, you will be within 5 or so miles of my place. Are you taking 23 south to columbus then? That would put me a little more out of the way. I'm just past bucyrus, ohio.

I believe it is DOT regulation also, no retreads on front, at least on commercial trucks.

How the heck do you stow the boom for road travel? If it is as rust free as he says, maybe clutch bands aren't that bad.

They do tend to whine in 5th gear. I've had mine apart before, and everything looked fine. Other truck doesn't whine. What kind of noise is it? Pulling the top of the transmission off isn't hard. You can tighten the driveshaft bolts from underneath. I've started to use locktite on them...

I can move the thread to conversations if you would feel more comfortable about posting pics. Please post whatever pics you do have here.

Thanks 11echo, I couldn't figure out how to copy past from the article.

I found a military document, has a lot of interesting vechiles in it. Anyways, it has truck labeled M108A2, 2 1/2 ton wrecker/crane, and under the vehicle characteristics it says multifuel. Look on page 95 on the following link. http://www.dtic.mil/cgi-bin/GetTRDoc?AD=AD0881479

Don't worry we will make sure the lugnuts are good and tight for you!

Hey Steve, you happen to have a semi tractor that I could borrow for a while? :D

I have the the OD in my M108 and love it...

Yep, this is the engine from Haspin, big thanks to Adam for getting it to me. Drove it a little more, and tuned the pyro in some. Feels pretty smooth and strong, see how it runs on the way to Marango. Idle problem fixed itself. But the speedometer quit on it, one more thing to fix.
