Ah, sorry, too tired to catch that it wasn't the bolt. Can you braze it back together? If not, some SU fuel pumps have banjo fittings of about that size. As does Holley carbs, come to think of it.

I'll try to remember taking a photo tomorrow.

The quickest way (unless you have good hardware stores nearby) is to make one. Having a lathe helps, but isn't necessary. Either way, you should measure the diameter and pitch before proceeding.

Anybody else have an inaccessible (for all practical purposes) upper Zerk fitting on the bucket cylinder, appropriately called number 13 in the lube chart? Eventually got some grease in that one, using a near perfectly sized 90-degree adapter. Obviously that particular cylinder is not entirely...

Plugged fuel tank vent? If so, try removing (or loosen) the cap.

So what's the difference, General Hood, between one that sits unused in a government lot and yours that sits unused in your lot? At least the gov. boys could probably get theirs started if they wanted to. (Sorry, couldn't resist kicking you while you're down).

I'll take your word for it, peakbagger. But I sincerely hope that I won't be stupid enough to forget opening the fuel valve again. And when I do, I hope it's on the (formerly) parts SEE.

Over all, a good day. Finally got the leaky ex-spare (now RF on the SEE) to stop leaking. Also got the oil changed (FINALLY) on the former parts SEE. Happy to see that it looked a lot like what I poured back in...it was clean. Another nice surprise was the new style primer pump. I'm starting to...

General Hood might be very interested in the remote start feature. He has one SEE which he can't get started in normal fashion, but maybe the remote would do the trick. If nothing else, he could continue his attempts from the comfort of the couch, instead of having to be out in the weather.

Mark, as I recall, the actual middle is somewhere in Kansas. My little portion of the actual Midwest is east of the continental divide, barely, so we're not all that far apart.

I can see one painted OD, or desert tan, if that's the color of the SEE. Heck, don't forget Mercedes mud flaps and a shiny (since it doesn't matter) Mercedes key fob. But even if those doctors are status sensitive they may still have taste, so don't add anything that isn't easily removable.

Mark, congratulations on getting a SEE, and what sounds like a great one at that. If you're not into originality, check out the dirt cheap LED worklights on Amazon and elsewhere. But what's your definition of "bad"? Does it indeed get power (and ground) yet doesn't work? Should your travels...

Far from everything was done on mine when overhauled. But then, the one which is the easiest to tell on (because it wasn't painted afterwards) has no RRAD stickers. I'm guessing that they fixed what was needed, but no more. Haven't tried un-denting any fenders yet, but if the wider tires...

You're as bad as I am, MSMOG. Yeah, you "need" a tractor to occasionally move some trailers. Sounds like what I would say. In reality, all you need is a con gear, then you could move them with the SEE. And I happen to know where you could buy one. A SEE makes a pretty good yard goat, as long as...

Have you seen what Soni Honegger did to his M920? He turned that ugly duckling into a bitchin' truck. It wasn't a quick or cheap transition, but what a difference. As far as driving one home goes, you'd probably want to do a gearing change and add much taller tires before you start the trip. In...

So, to give you an idea of what I'm selling; A 1980 359 Pete with a fresh Cat reman 3406B and Fuller reman 18-speed, rear air suspension. Custom built 28' dry van with living quarters in the front (copy of a Lance cabover camper design, but backwards and with a larger shower and 100 gallons of...

Alright, alright, send me some money and I'll get a few more, Mr. Hood. Actually, I need to dig up some photos of the Pete and trailers so someone here can buy them (great for transporting SEEs and other stuff) which would free up funds for SEE purchases. Yeah, that'd be the honorable thing to...

Doubtful, as they're already as slow as an armored Hummer.
