I can most likely scan and PDF a manual for a set of small cam brakes.

Kinda. They use common parts, but are different. You will need the 25B (old style) or 401B (new style) I think. Lemmie do some lookin' around.

FYI, the Cummins CPL # for the NHC 250 is 0026...

you will run into hood clearance problems when installing a jake.
not much room between the valve rocker cover and the center hood brace as supplied.
some ingenuity will be required

I read an article (in MVM I think) where a National Gaurd Comander at a base in the Rockies added Jakes to several 5-ton wreckers as a field modification so they could hold the heavy loads going down hills and mountians. They had to add a raised section in the middle of the hood for clearance.

I've got a 290 Cummins with a turbo that I may consider parting out if you could use the turbo or injectors. I would also consider selling the whole engine.

Super,Check my location....Nuff said....

How much you want for that entire cummins?Is it useable or a rebuildable core?Will a 290 bolt down in the place of a military 250?

No luck on the parts I thought I had. I only have an exhaust manifold.

I was at Adelmans around Canton, Oh, and he had quite a few 800's with jakes on them. All were recognizable with a muscle car looking "air scoop" on the hood for clearance.
