Picture one shows the bushing plate going in, and picture two shows the sling plate (shield) and oil ring retainer. It's late, so I will up-load the rest of the pictures tomorrow night.

After the turbo was disassembled I started the "fun" part of this project. Cleaning this filthy little beasty ! After weeks of soaking and scrubbing, I finally got the parts clean.

This thread will be about rebuilding my Schwitzer 3LM-39 "D" turbo. As you can see my turbo had been leaking oil for awhile.

Totally agree with this statement ! Well done !!!

I moved one of the power leads on the starter motor because it was touching the starter motor housing. I wasn't sure if it may have been shorting out at that point. So I put a spanner worth of space between the powerline and the housing. That looks better. Aussie. That starter...

I've actually seen that done on a civilian two axle trailer. There is a crane company out here that has one. It is a bit bigger then two tons though.

Since you live in Florida I would send "Floridianson" a personal message. He has tons of stuff at his place down there.

Looks like you live in a nice Seattle neighborhood. I grew-up in Ballard myself.

Modern trucks just have dual circuit systems, so why is it worse in a deuce ? Get stainless steel brake lines ( or that stuff Peashooter had) and your good to go.

I bought an old school bus and had planned on doing something similar to it. Life got in the way though. I got the idea from a guy back in 1984. He bought an IHC 40ft school bus (they sell them all the time at auctions) and using the lines of the sheet-metal body he cut the front section off (at...

I wasn't being rude to you, I was trying to point out that there are several rpms that will give you 60 Hz. So to be a little snippy back, the larger movable generators run 900 rpm not 120 rpms. I have worked on several including ones that where sent to India to run the giant electric...

No, there are a lot of generators that run at 1800 rpm. In fact the larger generators run at 900 rpm. So to get 60Hz you need either 900 rpms, 1800 rpms or 3600 rpms. See the pattern here ?

Did you replace the chassis ground ? This is the ground strap from the body to the frame. I have added an extra strap from the body straight to the battery ground. Also at the body joints there (fender to cab etc) should be a small ground wire that connects the different sections that gets...

Check the fuel line itself to #6 . There could be a crack in the line (tube) or fittings. Check the "ferrules" on the end (tube) of the line. Can they be moved ? Or are they tight to the line ? Also check where it screws into the Hydraulic Head.

Also check for bad 'U'-joints. They can cause such severe vibrations that the housing can break. I've seen this happen several times.

I just want to say one more thing about the FDC and it's function. Think of it as a "voltage drop" compensator. If you have a long electrical cable you will end up with voltage drop across the ends. So what the FDC does is build in a compensation for this voltage loss. Just like copper has one...

Depends. Is the engine surging now ? If it is then you would need to either increase fuel or decrease fuel. So since we don't know you would have to try clockwise 1/4 turn and if that didn't help then turn it back 1/2 turn. Either way it is trial and error adjusting.

These wheel checks are really nice to have. All our busses got them installed after a few wheels came loose and two actually came off one bus and one hit a pedestrian !

I think we all got side tracked with the whole FDC thing so I will try one more time to explain. Now before you say that is not the same pump, take a look at it's function. It is the same principal and almost the exact same design as our pumps. First off forget the FDC and just think of the stop...

First off the fuel pressure is not set at one regulated pressure. If you have a pressure gauge on your filters you can see that for your self. The TM says the pressure range is 30 to 60 psi. That is not a set pressure." Second, the droop screw helps keep the engine from surging by keeping the...
