    I would agree on the clutch/pump switches JoJo ;IF it kept screwing up . a one time stick ;;dash switch internal stick =corrected itself (for now).although a dash switch would NOT cause it to stay on. electrically I can't speak on relays behalf = I don't know the wiring schematics .

    I haven't seen one of those in :????? yrs. they all (98%) had the 1/8th in plugs installed to by pass the systems. another one of those posts that wake up the dormant brain cells , yet can picture the parts but can't remember everything.

    put a pop-up tent in the dump bed( one higher then the sides of body so you can see it) take it to a car/ truck show on occasion and randomly haul your material . it's an "RV" show truck = classic plates.

    yes; i'd say so , reason for topping it off in first place ??? doing a super service or was it low and indicator light on dash lit up ???

    water filter looks to have been on there for a while (rusted); coolant been changed recently ??
  7. mechohaulic
    that style top tank with low level sensor will find it's proper level. long as it's NOT constantly puking coolant ;; coolant at bottom of filler neck IS TOOOO MUCH. need room for expansion. all above info is also correct .

    and what a pain -in- ass those pan covers were. after a while many were twice as heavy from oil leaks etc going between pan and liner. remember the 2 in foam under engine hoods , they were "muscle builders" on the R's ;; added weight was noticeable.

    I see it now those are different fuel caps . was a long day for me today outside in the sun working on a JD farm tractor so my focus ability is a tad off (and possibly a shot or 2 of jack daniels had somethin to do with it)

    important note you forgot;;; the wonderful condition of the roads in good ole U S A . speaking of course east coast side . think that's the purpose of steer axle floatation tires ; don't get stuck in the many huge pot holes LOL

    went to a hobby shop yesterday (1hr drive). walked into be met with attitude and ignorance from workers. talk about price increase !! a plastic model which used to be $11.25 (few yrs back I know); was $86.49. quality very poor. I bought 3 different ones $49.95 and $59.99 plus one more. out the door with 3 plastic models $186.35. needed not 3 models but the different parts they had. fuel tanks etc. no one does resin parts for big rigs anymore (around here)

    think the important part of the sentence is "young kid / really fast" '' some what remember the days of being a =young kid /really fast= long time ago . now it's ole man REALLY REALLY slow.
  17. mechohaulic
    it gets worse when you retire. the "to do list" gets longer and "friends" think you have alot of time cause =YOUR RETIRED" to lend them a hand on their projects. not to mention retirement means older = your body on a daily basis lets you also know your retired. and if there are grandkids around == forget it . less stress going to a part-time job. LOL that's why I help out at two local farms.

    the situation for me was the flag flying at the white house !!! in the middle same height as THE AMERICAN flag !! not whos' flag it was or what it stands for === TOTAL disrespect to the RED/WHITE/and BLUE : and the many men, women, black, white. gay. straight , Jewish ; and countless others that gave themselves so a RED/ WHITE/ and BLUE can fly.
  19. mechohaulic

    10miles out of holton . 95 all the way up to exit 302 . off rte 1 - can't remember the towns name now; darn !! cabin/ farm one mile off rte 1 , beyond beautiful= no electricity. wood stove in center of cabin for 4 am coffee. I pitched a tent in the woods between some trees to lessen the possibility of moose walking over it.

    how was the pizza ?LOL

    not up to date on CT 's latest rules and regs. one thing I found a few yrs back was to put +not for hire= on my FA hino . pulled a 10 ton gooseneck trailer with two farm tractors out of Maine. was pulled on the Maine scales and the Officer never inspected any paper work once he saw the not for hire label. think it also helped when he showed interest in the old tractors.

    after you installed the window lock strip; hopefully there wasn't a lot left over= unless you had a brand new piece. many times installing the strip it is pulled into place ending with excess. it should be pushed in . stretching it out will have it contract later leaving a space and possible water leak.

    might be interesting to start a '70's "club"on here. I'm in at 72. are there any '80's personal on here ???
  25. mechohaulic
    seems you wrote your 59 yrs old. heck you have many more good yrs of wrench pushing left . at 72yrs old survived cancer surgery in '13 and open heart surgery in '15 = tack on 50 +plus yrs of wrenching == I am qualified for "i'm more or less done ". it's a bitch when I drop something and can't bend over to pick it up. i've been saying "no more " for yrs - now i have no choice . was asked other day + you work on side ? first time ever I said NO. waiting on parts for a friends farm tractor as I write though.
