The Army and Marines used a lot of International Harvester dozers also. The TD-9 especially. Also the TD-14 is very common. My father almost bought a pair of 1940 TD-9 dozers. One was set-up with a reel in back to lay cable and the other had a bucket in front. Not very common for a dozer to have...

The whole Fuel Density Compensator is touchy and complicated to adjust so just bypass it.

I never had a camera with me in those days. Cell phones had not been invented yet. Plus I wouldn't be caught standing around with a camera doing nothing during a loading operation. My gunnery sergeant would find something very unpleasant for me to do if he did catch me. Abuse me once shame on...

The "new" diesel fuel is ultra low sulpher and does not have any lube for the injection pump, or injectors. So adding some "additives" is a good thing to keep your engine running . My brother found this out the hard way a few months ago. He has been retired for several years now and just...

George at "White Owl" is a great guy and extremely knowledgeable on the deuce. They will have parts that no one else even lists let alone carries.

Did you replace all three filters ? Have you checked the in-tank fuel pump ? If not then make sure it is working and pumping out fuel. Have you bypassed your Fuel Density Compensator yet ? If not then this might be a good time to do so. Your injection pump could be acting up. The droop screw...

[FONT=Verdana] That's exactly what the ability to run on gas was for, an emergency situation. I think I mentioned a few weeks a go of a "little outing" we had in the Marines, where we took out all our trucks. They didn't give us enough fuel for the mission so we had to use what was there...

When I was in the Marines all our trucks had them. I was told it was because the stock lift points where deemed to weak to support the truck when they are being lifted into the ships for transport. Since the Marines always overloaded their trucks during a "float" this was considered a safety...

Yeah, the mirror riv-nuts from GM are garbage. I replaced mine with some quality aluminum ones and it totally stopped my mirrors from vibrating.

The stop plate is continually being adjusted in small increments according to fuel pressure at that time. Since fuel pressure is adjusted according to engine RPM then that means the FDC is constantly adjusting and the amount of adjustment is dependent on the calibration of the FDC for which fuel...

I haven't bypassed mine yet. I probably will sometime in the future.

I sure could use it ! Thanks Chris.

This might help you better understand the function of the "droop" screw. When the droop screw comes into contact with the stop plate first, it prevents excessive fuel delivery during acceleration and at medium speed under load allows the turbocharger time to spool-up preventing excessive smoke.

The droop screw keeps the governor from surging wildly by coming into contact with the "stop plate" before the "cam" . I think I know what the problem is here. Your not taking into account that the stop plate moves during operation. It is not stationary, but slides up and down according to fuel...

I just wanted to post some warning pictures of the damage hammering on the "pitman" arm can do. Also hammering on the drag-link can cause the same damage. Always use the right puller when removing the steering pitman arm or drag-link. This steering shaft came out of one of my 1952 REO M35...

What you need to do is look at the TM and you will see how the governor works. I can try and explain with words tell the cows come home and you will still not understand until you "see" it. TM 9-2910-226-35 is a good TM to use.

All our injection pumps have the "booster pump" bolted on the side. It takes the in-tank fuel pump pressure of 10 psi and boosts it to over 60 psi . You can probably pick one up pretty cheap from a number of members here. Just put an "add" in the "wanted section" and you will probably have more...

At idle you should have a minimum of 35psi . At anything above 1000 rpms you should have 60 psi .

Do you have any close-up pictures of the crane ? I plan on building one very similar soon. Thanks.

Also note the black smoke coming out. That engine is a pumping !!!!
