    Blew out transmission maybe

    Thanks and I think I have a parts trans too if all else fails. I was going to take some stuff to the scrap yard the other day and thought I saw one in all my mess.

    No start after button replacement.

    We will get it figure Allen if it calls for sending out your Head or what ever. Yea wish now I would have kept all the IP's I had but I just parted them out and gave away parts so others could fix there problems.

    No start after button replacement.

    Yep taking them apart cleaning them up on the work bench can be a good thing. Now if you could spin them up at home and test them would be a cool thing. Doing the math for the correct rpm and having a pressure delivery system that would put out 60 psi to the IP now your talking. Then a way to...

    No start after button replacement.

    Yep that is what I told Allen we should do yesterday before he buys another head. At least Allen will be a pro at replacing the Head after we are done.

    Deuce water in gear oil

    Would seem like maybe the water came from the last bucket of oil you used. Agree no water from sitting or no fording.

    Axle Shaft removal for towing FMTV

    I just use one of the bolts that hold on the hub / gear cap. If the bolt was a snake it would have bit you when you removed the center cap to get to the axle. It is the correct threads and long enough then just replace it when done.

    How to add an EGT gauge with a PID

    Seems like no matter what you run gas or diesel 1200* is a starting to worry point if it hangs there to long. Now as said if your are lugging it and RPM is not even close to red line and your hitting 1200* then that to can be a problem. Here you would down shift to bring up the rpm and see if...

    Precautions for Possibly Submerged Deuce!

    Yea if the knuckle is not packed with grease you can just take out one of the bottom bolts that holds on the knuckle cap bushing and check / drain water.

    Precautions for Possibly Submerged Deuce!

    As said crank case by way of the road draft tube / loose oil fill cap would be my main worry if it got as high as the air filter or above. If the work order has not been done the fuel tank and master cylinder are hook to it. If it has been done then just the fuel tank vent is connected. Also...

    M-817 Brake fluid

    Could I ask you what your plans are for the truck? Stays on you property or on road use. The only trucks I have ever bought were from the government and had about 30 of them. Now every one that I serviced I found that the axles needed service. That is new seals and bearing repacked. Then when in...

    No start after button replacement.

    Sounds like an idea and a plan. Allen we don't have to pull and injector we can just use one of your extra or one of mine. That way if your injector is bad / gummed up at least we know my new on is good to go. So just pull a line might be the quickest way to test for pop pressure. Yes Head is...

    Fuel leaking m931 tractor

    See you read the thread I posted. If that leak is not coming from the top side then sorry pump needs to come out. Best to have someone that has done it before and correctly . The other thing would be a good injection shop and see if they will pump up the PT when they are fixing the whole pump...

    allie this is a old thread and last post 6-11-18 so don't know if the OP will answer. From your pic I believe your throttle shaft is leaking and pump has to come out.
