Just one point of correction. A gas engine doesn't really have any more braking ability than a diesel. Once the throttle butterfly is closed, it isn't pumping anything.

Sorry, but the full flow oil filter was my idea. We are both in SD, though. If you have oil mist blowing out the oil filler you either have lots of blowby or have overfilled the oil bath filter inside of the oil filler.

The fitting on the rear of the oil filler is the air inlet to the crankcase. DO NOT plug it. It is part of the PCV system. Here is you add a full flow oil filter:

The flanges that hand down from the M105 bed are the right width for the M35 frame. However, they are too short. They just extend a little past the curve of the top of the M35 frame. I'll take some pics today. I had to move the rear axle back about five inches to center the wheels in the...

I welded extensions to the four rear mounts and drilled through the side of the frame rails. The fronts used modified M105 clamps cut and narrowed to fit the M35 frame.

I was going to add a long-winded reply but the last link said it all. I would like to add that water and oil will create acid and if you don't change the oil or at least get it analyzed you risk damage. One of my OA331s was rebuilt by the county shop for snow plow service. One of the...

I don't know what Memphs charges but you can buy new civvy style water pumps for ~$80 bucks.

Why would a sprag transfer case care if you have lockouts? It would effectively be the same as removing the front driveshaft.

They are $150 each; they don't want to budge unless we buy a huge quantity. Their relatively high prices have resulted in them having some unique items in their salvage yard.

Anyone know what these rims are from? They have lots of them.

The problem with today's gas is not that it lacks lead; it is that it evaporates more easily. The hot soak after shutdown floods your engine. The fuel vapors cannot make it out of the filter. As gasoline became better and more easily vaporized, Reo did away with the exhaust heat. What you...

There was a higher speed gear set designed. If someone can get me the drawings, I will have them quoted.

What paint are you using?

You can also update your stock ignition with a 24volt pertronix. We did this to my brother's M52 with a great improvemnt in starting.

Based on my experience and the experience of others, this is not an unusual phenomenon. Part of the reason is todays gas and the second is the exhaust heated intake which causes the gas in the float bowl to evaporate and flood the engine. The later Reo gas engines did not have the exhaust...

Continental made two gas engines with 427 cu in during that era: The B-6427 and the T-6427. Was the multifuel based on one of these?

Well, they had piles and pallets of rims. However, they are designed for duals and appeared to have way too much offset to run as singles. The search continues...

The author of that email is an occasional poster here. I'll let him respond. I think that even the most casual of observors would rcognize that the multifuel has issues. What made me take notice is that the multifuel was never a commercial success.

Ths was emailed to me by one of the Steelsoldiers members the last time engine life was discussed: Hi Jason, I tought to use the PM as a lot of guys don't want to hear what I say about their revered multifuel motor. Let me start with the history of it. MAN in Germany designed it many years...

We are going to pick up a set tomorrow. Are all of these wheels designed to be run as singles? Are you guys flipping the hubs to correct rear tracking?
