  1. one day if time allows. do the cheat sheet method of adjustment ; then go back to one cyl at a time see if any difference. the better jacobs is an add on with jake unit holding down exhaust valves AT PRECISE cyl firing. the dynatard being built in has those over sized rocker adjusters which are simply small hyd slave cyl. that combined to a screwy cam make the Daynard "work". the dyna has to be on cyl TDC for proper adjust. pushing down on rocker to completely expel all oil in slave cyl. short version the dyna ain't worth sh- - t ;makes some noise. fred flintstones car had better braking.
  2. that was a major challenge back in the day for the "old school folk" who had the white soap stone to mark the rockers after adjustment since more than one valve on opposing cyl could be adjusted same time. then this dynatard engine comes along.- WTF I just adjusted that cyl why all the slack on exhaust. read the book !! what book; they weren't printed yet.
  3. always a positive when updates are given, thanks
  4. don't think of it as a job!! look at it with a positive attitude ; consider it being at a gym and being paid, one of the reasons I work at the farm (without being paid) .out of the house away from TV/ refrigerator .situation is now I have limitations as to amount/type of work allowed. owner won't let me throw hay bales anymore. Do it now before senior life takes hold.
  5. hide the remote and unplug the TV
  6. pay attention to when you start putting new holes in your belt . ambition slows down with TV time and food taking hold, NOT GOOD< experience talking. the DM might be old BUT you will getter done. BMT crew counting on progress report. "tomorrow NOT guaranteed to no one. my "power plant " is failing . consider this question " if your told you have so much time left ; what would you do; how would you spend it ?? get the DM done Bob
  7. it should be a 5/16th hex head set screw having a 1/2 in six point nut for lock.
  8. for those interested; just looked up mack rear power divider, number of videos also vendors selling the parts(not to take away from Watt's) but to show pictures and proper names of the parts.
  9. if the small floor board section is what was being replaced, the treadle valve wouldn't need to be disconnected. just take out the three screws holding pedal to floor section.
  10. 4 main parts to the mack auto lock. 1-cage / attaches to input shaft:2 = wedges(dogs) having two sets =3 = drive coupler /slides input shaft ==4- cone /attaches to output shaft. wedges are between drive coupler and cage. flat steel band on outside of cage keeps wedges from falling out. as input spins faster. the wedges are pushed out going against the cone connecting power to output . it's a brief version with wrong titles to parts; sorry.
  11. fuel tank vent clogged creating vacuum / flex line in suction side has internal split line restricting flow? one tank or two?
  12. sadly it's difficult to find ANY product today that hasn't slipped in quality. loading bales of shaving at the farm . even that has gone bad. bales go from 20lbs apiece to 30plus. opened a heavy weight yesterday it was saw dust , not shavings. where's quality control. people have expensive animals /pay high prices for shavings; don't want saw dust. even if it's delivered by a Hino = (saved the topic LOL)
  13. bought brand new in '93 a Hino FA to replace my '77 F=350 flatbed. after checking American made trucks(ford/chevy etc) which needed 40 acres to turn around ; looked into the foreign cab overs=Hino/UD/Isuzu. Hino cost tad more built much better . had the 4 cyl with exhaust brake, room in cab . installed electric PTO instead of very expensive mechanical one. could turn that truck around in a small circle. would have replaced it with the new style Hino if day came .
  14. 80 .000 !!! didn't know =non planetary how ???
