I picked up these bushings from Mcmaster-Carr. It found it very hard to find 1" towbar feet and the 3/4" feet are easily available. $13 each.
The part number for Mcmaster is 3741K11- Oil-Lubricated Bronze Sleeve Bearingfor 3/4" Shaft Diameter, 1" OD, 1-1/2" Length
I have been searching for an "upgrade" manual for this procedure. They must have issued one when they converted these to the yanmar engine. If anyone has done the conversion can you let me know the extent of the project. Is it a simple engine swap or is it a more in-depth operation?

I guess I will have to make a trip up to stow this year for the ww2 weekend and get a chance to check out these tanks!
I have a trailer sold and the buyer is having issues getting a shipper down here. I will be at Gilbert this weekend, and I can always get the trailer to the poconos. The buyer is willing to pay for transportation.
According to the TM it says 30wt for most temps. I stumbled across the LO and it says 15w40. I have never run 15w40 in a gasoline engine so I am second guessing it. Should I stick with standard sae30 to run a 10w30 winter weight?
Im working on installing the cargo cover rails and im wondering what size bolts i need for the front and tailgate inserts. looks like the fronts are larger than the rears, maybe they have been replaced. look to be course thread too.g
Generator was running good last week.
I was having issues with it not wanting to run with no choke, seemed like half choke was perfect. So I pulled the carb and did the standard clean on it. Put it to the 3/4 main and 1/2 turn idle. Started right up but over-revs until the bowl cannot supply...
This is what I currently have

House uses a gas furnace forced air pump and I beleive a 220v water heater.
I want to make an outlet box with a dryer outlet and a twist lock outlet and a 10' pigtail...
Last summer I began running waste oil, mostly old motor oil. I mixed it at 60% diesel/40% oil. When the temps got cool I switched back over to 100% diesel. When it got really cold I had to replace all my glow plugs because a handful of them were trashed.
Do you think the fuel oil is the cause...
I'm watched 2 dodge pickups being sold as scrap. I'm wondering if anyone can decode the vin to figure out what kind of engine.

Most decoders are not lining up correctly with the amount of numbers.
I purchased a m101 tarp. While installing per the TM I noticed that the tarp does not have the straps to go around the bows in the inside of the trailer. With all the other ropes and straps tight the tarp fits nice. Should I try to sew on some straps or will I be fine?
Just picked up a 101a2 from GL with the military LED tail lights. I switched the bulbs to 12v at the lot but could not get the LED blackouts to work with my 1028.
The blackouts work find on my other 101a2 with standard bulbs but not this trailer.
is there a way to test the led? I havent...
Ive searched 179 posts so sorry if I couldnt find it.
Truck usually starts fine. All stock system except for doghead relay.
Typically when the truck fires I hear the relay click a few times and every time it clicks the voltage will drop momentarily and then go back with another click of the...
Just picked up a new throttle cable and its about 3/16 to short. Its amazing that they dont have a barrel adjuster on them for adjustment.
My idle is a little bit to high and im looking to adjust it. The injector linkage is not returning all the way to home position.
Should I wait for the...
Friend of mine is on his way to the convention and his TC is leaking like crazy. He is in Georgia right now on I95. Rear output seal barely drips when sitting but it must spew out while driving. He installed a NOS seal a few months ago but started leaking again in NC.
Are there any deuce parts...
I am in need of the transfer case adapter gasket between adapter and transfer case.
Called the dealers and the item is discontinued.
Part # 15642512 should be the proper gasket but is d/c.
Part # 15642510 is the gasket for the th350 truck.
Do you think this gasket is the same? I cant see...
Put a new/used 208 in my truck due to worn out forks in my old tc. New one definatly shifts much smoother.
While pulling a trailer through the woods I was in 4lo to make it up a large revine and then I continued in 4lo until i reached my destination. While on my way out the tc started to make a...
The other day my ebrake stuck and when the drum heated it made my rear axle hop at about 45mph. I pulled over to fix the problem and when i put the truck in park it made a grinding sound. I checked the fluid, clear and didnt smell burnt. Put the truck in drive and nothing. Put in 4wd and...
