    Onan load bank

    I dug this out of a scrap metal bin at a lawnmower shop. Years ago they use to repair Onan generators. I thought some of the generator guys may want this. Pick up only in Albany Ga Eddie Cannon

    M35a2 electrical gremlin

    Pull the batteries and load test. If they pass check all the connections, terminals and grounds. If all is good start seeing where you may be loosing power. Push button controls the start solenoid which controls starter solenoid. Follow the power path...

    What are your experiences with GovPlanet?? Good or Bad

    The next time you need to pick up something from Albany let me know. I live and work near there and pick up and store things for people as a favor to avoid these issues. I have a facility in Albany with a forklift to load and unload. My experience there has been good but driving long distance...

    Misfire M35a2

    The gaskets you used are the old style with separate fire rings. They tend to give problems and were upgraded to the new style ones. For the TD block (thick deck) you should have torqued the head nuts to 157FtLbs.

    Gm 14bolt yoke bolt not lined up

    Ok I was waiting to see if anyone else would respond but none did. I have rebuilt many rears but have not done a 14 bolt unit. I did some research and they use a crush sleeve to set the pinion bearing preload. Putting the nut back at the same location is to keep the preload the same. That's...

    No start on multifuel engine

    Just a thought are you sure you have the hydraulic head in time? It could be out 180 degrees. With the engine on the firing stroke of #1 cylinder and the balancer timing mark on the correct mark the pump should be in time and the marked tooth on the head visible.

    Detroit Locker chipped tooth on splined coupler. Still good to buy?

    I would pass on that. Its too much work to install for marginal parts.

    Engine repair or swap to LDS?

    The fire rings are integral in the gasket. No sealer is used you install dry. You need to make sure the heads are flat and the block is clean. No re- torque is necessary. The torque on the studs depends if you have a TD block. That stands for thick deck. Those torque to 157 ft lbs. I used ARP...

    Engine repair or swap to LDS?

    I would not get too concerned about the .005" limit. Focus on getting the seal area for the combustion chamber to clean up. The last set I had done we took off .010" didn't cause any issues. The valves still had some recess. Eddie

    Removing the bleed valves from the air tanks

    You probably need to put some heat on the fittings to help break loose the thread sealant. Sometimes the fittings bond in fairly hard and the heat helps to free things up.

    Brake problems

    You need to bleed the air pack to master cylinder first then move to the wheel cylinders.

    Engine repair or swap to LDS?

    M35A2 stuck fuel rack

    More than likely the fuel shutoff lever is sticking. Pull the shutoff cover that's where the cable for the shutoff is connected. There is a lever there that moves forward and back. Forward is wide open and back towards the firewall is shutoff. It should move freely and when released it should...

    Steering shaft - stripped threads - what size die to recut?

    At .820" diameter the closest thread would be metric at 20MM. You should be able to cut a M20 thread on that.

    M35a2 missing bolt on transmission?

    Its not missing a bolt. That is the drain plug hole for the clutch area.. Next to it is a removable plug that you can put in that hole for fording high water. It should remain open otherwise.
