    based on the picture, you have ALL the hold down inj nuts off. if you pull any inj that is free then put two nuts back on loose of the stuck one, the engine will spin over easier to possibly push the stuck ones lose. that's if the heel trick doesn't do it of course
  2. mechohaulic
    if heel bar doesn't work ( most times it should ;; for me anyhow ) the actual injector puller screws on the top of the injector AFTER unscrewing the top where the return line fastens to. with a spare junk injector take the top outer housing off you can weld an adapter to it (style your preference ) use it as a puller by threading it on to the struck injector. or if your brave ;; loosen the two hold down nuts ;; leaving a full thread on the nuts of the stuck cyl;; spin the engine over. have lucked out and had injector push up enough to use a heel bar.

    old post ; wondering what fire dept you were getting parts for

    10 yrs later and the B81 still runs the highway. I was behind him on rte 63 last week.

    this forum of Connecticut construction trucks is how I found this site. are there any pictures of companies such as :: allan Beard ::/ watertown construction{ they had a beautiful R-700 tractor). / Schiavi construction( red with superman style S graphics on door). E G Pugano. glad this post shows up after all the yrs ago it started.
  6. mechohaulic
    looks similar to the R model Schiavi Construction used to haul their lowboy .

    I haven't seen the underside of that style valve cover in years. still have the adjusting tools for lifters and injectors. the fun days for sure. to get all injectors to flip the same ; 4 the same not bad to match both sides :challenging

    stealing the fenders off an LTL ;; that's worse then painting a mustache on the mona lisa ;;

    well if sitting in the salt shed seems bad;; take a trip through CT . bring water and maybe food with you. it's a long slow ride as you pass one ; no two;no three and four maybe five trucks parked along the road (for construction). each truck having a "driver" either on a phone or sleeping. at least in the salt shed the road is open. this isn't middle of the nite ; during the prime time day traffic. traffic backed up for miles . pick a highway any one you will see it.

    only remember seeing a very few on the east coast back in the day. the C O E had my vote; NOT if comparing to an F-700; it was not bad looking . had the pete 352 style box cab

    now Your under pressure to get the green machine up and running ; the little guy will grow up faster than imagined and be looking for the keys to take a date on.LOL belated birthday best to your Lovely Lady.

    don't want to cut out "mid-stream" on this topic ; not much choice any more . 10pm on east coast. take care of my lite work ok JOJO 😁
  13. mechohaulic
    trying to cross reference the two topics he wrote earlier dealing with same truck . earlier stated with trailer emer button out , air comes out the red hose when stepping on tractor brake pedal. now the suspension issue seems A OK , working on the air / emerg line
  14. mechohaulic
    what you are saying is now when pulling out the red trailer button, the tractor air bags deflate automatically/
  15. mechohaulic
    normal ;; correct JOJO at 90 the secondary air will be filling ??
  16. mechohaulic
    not understanding how a noticeable difference can be seen in the bags . they raise/lower. valve must be working
  17. mechohaulic
    am I correct then the only situation when flipping the toggle was ; you weren't sure what the valve did ?possibly there is nothing wrong with the system . the bags work properly ?
  18. mechohaulic
    total respect IS ALWAYS given. difference today is :: way way back when i said "i do"i consider myself "a doctor" .based on the fact : I had patience then . patients are gone NOW
  19. mechohaulic
    how is there a difference? have the bags inflated/ deflated ? if so I don't under stand the situation. unless you put an outside air supply to valve
  20. mechohaulic
    i would go back to disconnecting leveling valve arm from rear end and physically moving the arm ;; air movement will be heard /bags will change. if not do as JOJO stated remove the supply line to the valve.
  21. mechohaulic
    possibly bags are down now, depends on the style bag. some have only a short travel
  22. mechohaulic
    forgot when moving the arm make sure it's still connected to the valve NOT the rear end. might sound like "i'm not that stupid". not implying anyone is ; after 50 yrs of road calls it's the question that sound "stupid "make a difference when not being there to physically check an issue. a quick one;; call in liftgate doesn't work :: reply is the power cord plug in the trailer ? response ;; yes it is ;; OK 1 1/2 later arrive to find power cord UNPLUGGED back of tractor.. driver==you didn't ask about the other end!!
  23. mechohaulic
    since you located the leveling valve can also try disconnecting one end of the arm; usually the lower end . with ful air pressure and ALL body parts out of harms way,, just slightly move the arm up/ down. if there's air and valve is good the bags should raise/ lower.
  24. mechohaulic
    nothing happens flipping switch;; could be the arm to leveling valve broke/disconnected just hanging in "off"position. then trailer red line different issue.
  25. mechohaulic
    going back and forth on your other post about the air lines to trailer. a "94 is too new for me to know its air schematic. red button out shouldn't be air coming out trailer emergency line (red) during brake application. between that issue and air bags doing nothing with the switch ;first thought is someone has lines crossed.
