on a 2 light system brake and turn use the same filament in the bulb. so the turn signal switch separates left from right by sliding a plate across deferent contacts inside the switch. that said your problem could be inside the sw. or someone could have things wired for a 4 light system and didn't do it right !! 2 light = tail low filament turn/brake high filament ........one light per side of vehicle = 2 total 4 light = one light is tail ( it gets confusing here) and circuit of choice brake or turn 4 light = second can be or not, a redundant tail, then either brake or turn ( which ever one isn't used in light one the tractor is typically wired 2 light. the 7 wire trailer plug is normally set up for a 4 lamp system. now you need to see where it goes amuck ! could be in the turn signal sw. or it could be caused by someone doing improper wiring between the two systems. will need more info on what truck this is on, maybe I can help

did you modify the elbow where it leaves the turbo ?

What are fellow E-9 guys using to replace the cast elbow when the mating flange to the turbo wears out and don't seal ? are you just welding a starter flange into an street elbow or is their someone supplying the drop elbow arrangement? its no longer available thru Mack.

have you removed the tube line at the rod end of the lift cyl. to see if you get a rush of oil from either cyl. when trying to lift the boom ? On another note I just got off the phone with my buddy that has the A-car, it has either a 262 or 250 in it and its stuck, but only oil in the crank case, he got the truck for the engine so he would have part for his old skoop mobile loader, he has since sold the loader so the truck and eng could be available.

I have a753 I think or 743 ( I can never remember unless im looking at it) Anyhow there is a red knob on the right side of the operators platform that is a dead machine boom lower by pass valve, could it be stuck in the bypass position? other than that you may have failed a cylinder piston packing or stuck port relief. I take it the bucket tilt function still works properly ?

EZ, a typical hydrostatic system is closed loop, that said the oil in one side will basically stay there except what is expelled thru the case drain lines. They may have inline filters in them to protect the rest of the system in case of pump or motor failure, With that said, you may have a plugged case drain that has caused an air locked motor thus resulting in a intermittent operation. if the machine only acts up in one direction it could be a stuck circuit relief valve. .........after looking at this and looking at your previous picture, what I just told you wont mean squat ! Does the linkage "Feel the same" L vs. R when actuated ? if not perhaps a roll pin failed on the swash plate control, had a new Holland do this once. does the book show you a test port for charge pump pressure? if so you could test that to see if it stays constant. if it does then im afraid the "glitter" is most likely the hydrostatic pump has failed.

stupid question......could you have crossed the hoses between their correct ports and now one cylinder is trying to extend while the other side is trying to retract ?

also check the engine draft tube, if its restricted it might do this as well. to eliminate the air cleaner on the compressor you could drill and tap the engine intake crossover pipe and then run a hose from it to the compressor, I have a 92 e-9 and that's how the factory eliminated the air comp. filter. (just a thought )

what's the old saying "their is no replacement for displacement" horsepower is way over rated "torque" is what gets it done ! I think a buddy of mine has another 262 in an A-car but its on the wrong side of the country for you.

nice looking KB if I was independently wealthy I would get it to keep its older brother company

cummins powered candles I would guess ? give her some fresh wax and pull the decomp. for a few rolls and see what happens next !, nothing a 8.3 wouldn't fix.

well HAPPY BIRTHDAY ! .........damn im lucky to get a edible cake, you must be living right to get an A Car ! hopefully her candles light when you crank her up !

best of luck, have the guys cover the slab with concrete blankets if its going to drop below 34 as the water leaves the slab it travels upward and if the top freezes it will delaminate and you will have a exposed aggregate floor. I say 34 because the weatherman is seldom correct. leave the blankets on for a week or so ,,you can uncover the pad during the day when temps are above freezing to aid in the drying. I did my floor in the 20's but kept it covered with double blankets and no issues.

my e-9 loaded one way (98,000) and hauling empty apple bins as a back haul (46,000)13.6 high avg. 15 gal/ hr.

Congrats Slpwker , thought of you several times this last month as I was pulling the hills on 84 hauling apples to the Yakama area. I remember you saying how much you enjoyed them

amazing that the spare jaws are still around ! looks to be as handy as fencing pliers !

our local vfd had one with 3K gallon tank .......the truck never knew it was there !.....don't miss the 49 mph response speed, we nick named her Godzilla! almost needed a shoehorn in order to put her in the hall !

swap injectors with a different hole and see if the problem follows, how tight are the valve guides ? ........or possibly a sticky valve bridge. perhaps a broken valve spring .....enough pressure to close it most of the time....but not all the time.

Dang the little D-2 is a cute critter ! kinda strange seeing chain guides on one without a blade. the binder looks good too !

I faulty injector will cause a tick also a miss as you have described, a slipped helix in the injection pump that results in over fueling of one cyl. will also do it.

2016 dodge 4x4 megacab 2500 cummins diesel 21 mpg, 86 ford ranger 4x4 v6 5sp. 25 mpg. ranger can haul me and one other + one med. sized dog in the cab "packed" mega cab 4 people 2 dogs still have elbow room, and can pull a trailer.

wash off the oily area and run the eng, see if it reappears. no coolant loss ? or bubbles in the radiator? did you retorque the heads after first running the eng. ?

Vlad really enjoyed seeing more of your part of the world, nice pictures !

Damn hasn't this been a hoot to read ! that trans is bigger than a 900 series unless the input shaft has been changed stock should be a 1 3/4 shaft. with a 300 and those slow speed rears and a solo truck you should be fine with a twin countershaft trans the only issue I could for see would be soft spongy ground where you could really put the torque to that trans, my advice would be check with the parts man and find a clutch that will only hold a 1000 foot lbs. of torque chances are it would slip before you blow a trans. btw nice clean looking R model ! any woods truck that age that is still that straight has been maintained and cared for. doubt too many terminal UPS drivers could keep one looking like that in the woods, enjoy the ol' dog !

WHEW......glad I'm not the oiler on that machine !..........don't think the cable chives mid span would get greased !
