Temporarily covered an opening in the canvas to keep a raccoon out of my XM757.

You may want to check out the M656/xm757 article in Military Vehicles Magazine issue #207, Feb 2020 by yours truly.

I had very good results using the Airlift kit... After draining the system, the Airlift adapter is installed in the filler neck of the radiator and it creates a vacuum via compressed air hook-up, which is next used to suck coolant back into the cooling system, leaving no air pockets. In the...

Sure.

The patent was licensed, not the engine and the FDC was patented by Continental. Also, missing from an earlier post, the FDC patent:

The reason for bypassing the FDC is to prevent leakage of fuel into the crankcase, an indication that micro particles wear the honed surfaces of the piston within, causing this problem. It doesn't change any of the abilities of the multifuel engine from burning any mixture of fuels, diesel just...

This is the PS magazine prescribed method:

Brake lights run through the turn signal switch, you may have fouled contacts within it.

This is the schematic:

The contacts: I would highly recommend that the switches (levers) are not moved after disassembly, it could be a bit of a puzzle to get it all back correctly if you do. :confused:

I believe the contacts inside the 3-lever switch are silver plated and they do oxidize. They can be cleaned if you find a good way to take it all apart and put it back together again. I have taken several apart, but never back together again...

I like mechanical solutions, they demonstrate a certain genius of the designers. Another solution is the "place bolt", which is used in some critical applications on my 757. Clean surfaces and proper torque are important factors.

...and from the good old PS magazines:

Examples of safety wiring on the injection pump:

Lock wire (safety wire) and cotter pins are used extensively on my '69 757, not to mention the injection pump, so perhaps you should include the 1960's too. ;)

The Goodrich date codes agree with mine. The difference between Goodrich and Goodyear is shown in the first image here and the way "Goodyear" is marked on the tire in the second.

Thanks for posting. Great find, just what I need.

Okay, if MA2X 8AB067 is the date code on the grooved tires, then they are not Goodyears, but made by a Chinese company according to this table.

Thanks for posting. Regarding the Goodrich tire, the large numbers are not a date code...

The date codes will explain it.
