Idk about Woodward governors on Mack’s, but the Woodward governors used on 2 stroke Detroit’s had a filter housing that was just a reservoir for oil supply for faster starts, no filter inside.
I honestly didn’t notice a difference. Mostly seen on gen sets. -

Doesn’t do anything for me either, but it’s better than letting the engine blow up like they like to do to the old 2 strokers.

My condolences to you and your family.

Hope you heal soon, I know the feeling. I always say it could’ve been worse. I carry a flashlight now like I do my pocket knife.

I’ve stopped and asked a bunch of times like that, gotten some. Also just heard stories. I’ve also seen vehicles parked with not for sale signs on them.

Them stihl saws leaks gas out them ragged tops. Better keep them turnt on the side when not running them, nonethanol gas is to expensive to waste.

We would mount 4” pvc pipe with 2 end caps, 3 holes in top. 2 for drains & 1 for breather vent. They could take end caps off & drain & run mop through every evening

Y’all talking bout oiling reminded me, after you get her running, make sure your air box drains are open. Should have good flow of air out both tubes. It will have slight splatter of oil also, they are designed that way. You can fix that if you want, little fab work, but you would have to drain daily.

Definitely need to blow it off, good air hose or wash. You could take fan belts off, water pump is gear driven.

Since you haven’t got much experience with the DD, put some medium size vice grips on the rack, & give it just enough fuel to crank. If you don’t control the rack with something (hand or vice grips) the rack will be in full fuel until it starts and governor kicks in. First start is most of the time when things go wrong, let it run & circulate good fuel, then start easing in throttle for awhile. It’s not bad as long as your prepared

1-1/2 socket on camshaft nut, or 1-5/16 on crankshaft, or 1-1/8 on accessory drive on the back of blower drive.

Why is this engine tilted? Dodge Cabover

In my opinion, all of the 2 stroke engines in a vehicle should’ve had fast idle solenoids on them like the busses. Those engines weren’t made to idle.
The oil pans were 2 pieces in a 45 to 90 degrees configuration. Transmissions were a heck of a deal, the whole unit was something to see.
the 8v-71’s were laid over pretty good in the 9500’s & brigadier trucks also.
