    I too was not aware of the rework, had never seen it done in the private sector, the revamp of the military's earth movers is due, but I'm afraid the dependability and durability will not be as good as the old iron.

    as I have said before, farm boys can go wherever and do what ever! enjoy the change, and keep us informed on things!

    most push pull sw. have a bi-metallic strip in side the switch which serves as a breaker, it could be as simple as a weak sw. or a slightly shorted or grounded wire that causes an overload that is causing the "trip". It could also be as simple as a poor or loose fitting connection. look for discolored or warm/hot connections.

    a back fire in a diesel is almost impossible , does this truck smoke heavily when accelerating? my best guess is that you have a bad injector and it is pushing unburnt fuel into a cool exhaust manifold then when back under power, the fuel ignites and causes a back fire. once the manifold is hot the next time you let off the fuel the raw fuel is partly atomized and would create white smoke but probably wouldn't back fire. does the engine oil dilute or smell of diesel?

    try removing the speed sensor, (check the depth first before removing) then remove the fine debris from the sensor and reinstall. as far as the co-pilot check wire and ground connections.

    All depends on what you want my superliner is painted with case IH farm tractor red enamel paint that I added enamel hardner too, two gallons cost 120 bucks the two stage primer cost about 300 bucks, I don't care for basecoat clear coat for our hot weather the clear will start to fail after 3 years if not cared for. I figured I could buff and wax enamel easer than re do base/clear

    that's not oil! its HI-TACK! the last mechanic just used a 4" paint brush to apply it! very sloppy I might add, but i'm sure that's HI-TACK

    Wooly reminds me of my uncle Phil, he was hauling produce on the left coast, any how he knew something was really wrong with him when he got to Yakama to unload so he drove his truck to the E.R., walked threw the door and fell to the floor, he died right there from massive heart failure. Amazingly he too did no damage to anything while driving to the e.r.

    very nice job! and you have done it yourself, that's what these projects are all about if you ask me, any one can "pay" for show room restro. job and brag about it. I think when you have touched every part then you can brag.

    yep plum handy for moving "IDIOT CUBES" and faster than a farm hand!
  20. gearhead204
    tighten with a 3/4 drive until it don't move any more then add a cheater and add at least 1/3 turn. then re check daily after operation until u bolts stay tight. sorry don't have a exact # but u bolts will move until they conform to the spring and upper saddle. if not fully secured the center bolt will shear and allow the axle to shift causing various misery .

    well my week wasn't as bad as yours thankfully! tues. night temps dropped to 15 so I needed to run wind machines in the cherry orchard (were 30 days ahead of normal) any how went to start the last machine (a 455 olds powered unit) hit the starter and it sounded like a garbage disposal eating a steak bone, damn field mice filled the bell housing with cherry pits!! then the centrifugal force threw them into the pressure plate so the clutch wouldn't engage so at midnight I pulled the starter and dust shield so I could blow all the damn pits out about a hour later I had the machine going..............but hey no snow!
