    To Rebuild or not to Rebuild TH400

    All TH400's use that odd trapezoidal shape oil pan. If the one your looking at is square then it is most likely a TH700R4 or even a TH350. Now there are 3 different TH400 pans but the differences are just the "dimples" in the pan. Also the depth of the pans can be different but never the overall...

    Runaway Multifuel cutoff?

    OK I'm going to bring a little clarity to this issue of diesel engines running away from using engine oil. That is mostly true on "2 cycle" diesel engines ie: "Detroit Diesels" . There has been some documented cases of a "4 cycle" diesel engine running away from using the oil mist from the...

    M1010 for my daughter the field biologist

    It's just the old style "Hammer Crimper" . They work OK, but I prefer the "Hydraulic Crimpers" better.

    LDS VS LDT and the real differences

    Finished disassembly of the LDS pump. Now I'm cleaning up the Hydraulic Head. It was very rusty as it had been laying in a wooden crate on a dirt floor barn for years. It took every thing off except the gear and retainer and thoroughly sandblasted it. I believe once I put it back together it...

    MEP002A just stopped running

    That oil pressure switch will do fine. As far as cleaning the unit goes, I just use brake clean. It cuts the grease real good and doesn't hurt the wiring.

    MEP-802A GenSet. What are they for?

    This looks like a light unit. The brackets are to hold the mast and the winch is to pull the mast up.

    MEP-803a Crankcase full of fuel...

    Your pretty safe just using the original shims from the old pump. If you really wanted to get technical then you would re-measure everything with this new pump. If it doesn't run right after you reinstall the pump then that's the time to go back and re-measure everything.

    To Rebuild or not to Rebuild TH400

    I use "onlinetransmissionparts.com a lot. Good company. As far as getting the "good parts" though you will need to go elsewere.

    Curt receiver hitch for the Deuce, 18,000lb/1,800lb

    I went with the "Curt" 15400 myself. Besides having a higher towing capacity it is also a 2.5" receiver which means it can handle the heavy duty towing adapters.

    Answer to the age old question-m35a2

    In your neck of the woods I would go with a "dual" cab heater system. That's what I did.

    Air stop light switch issue

    The original deuce air-switch was mounted directly into the "Air-Pac" so it had to handle full brake pressure. With the later "modification" the switch was installed into the air line just like any "modern" air switch. That's also why you should not reuse the old switch as it's pressure point is...

    Runaway Multifuel cutoff?

    A longer handle would be a good idea. I can reach mine though just fine, and boy does it shut down your engine fast ! I had played with several ideas including adding a cable operated shut-off (which I still might do) to the valve by just drilling a hole on the end of the handle for the cable to...

    Air stop light switch issue

    All air-brake systems are 120 PSI and so is the deuce.

    MEP002A just stopped running

    Check the S1 switch. You could have loose wires. We once had a bus that would run great until you went over some railroad tracks then it would try and apply the brakes (ABS system) . We worked on that bus for weeks and could not find the problem. Then one of the older mechanics went into the...
