    When you say water jacket plugs ,are they the freeze plugs in the block?
  2. skydawg
    Ok,I`ll look for that.Thanks to you both.
  3. skydawg
    Where would it be located if I have one?

    My engine always started immediately in warm weather,now at 30 deg it requires multiple cranking attempts probably totaling 12-15 seconds,and seems to smoke more. I`m guessing the engine is probably a little tired and cold compression a bit low.Or is this normal diesel behavior?Since heated indoor storage isn`t in the cards,is there a way to warm it up before starting?No block heater as far as I can tell.

    The diamond plate insert for the step is sharp! Is that custom-made?
  6. skydawg
    Yes,finally have brake lights.After new wiring,still no joy.Located,the original switch atop the double check valve,opened it and cleaned the contacts,brake lights are back in business.Thanks to all responders.

    Full radius(half moon) aluminum,49" across the bottom.Still have protective wrap,undrilled.They`re too big for my lo pro 22.5 tires.I paid $318 plus $308 shipping.Selling for $300,pick up only.This is a good deal for anyone in NNJ.I`m in Washington,NJ,zip is 07882.This is for 2 fenders,no brackets.

    I finally found the original switch,under the cab,inside the frame rail on top of a double check valve,according to a B schematic.I hope it`s just the wiring that`s bad because it looks like it would have to be replaced w/ the same model.It doesn`t thread into the check valve,it`s attached by 2 screws.Maybe it can be fixed,if an exact replacement isn`t available.Where would I find the trolley valve? Thanks everyone for responding,I obviously have a lot to learn.

    With the tractor protection in Normal position,the brake lights are always on as long as there`s air built up,w/no brake pedal being used.There`s air pressure always present in either trailer air line fitting when the TP switch is in the NORMAL position,with no brake pedal involved.

    Not fixed after all.With the tractor Protection switched to Emergency,there`s no air pressure to either trailer fitting.TP switched to normal,brake lights come on w/air brake switch in either trailer line when air pressure builds in the tank.Does this indicate a bad brake valve under the pedal?

    Would a single axle B61 with antique plates and no trailer be required to pull into a weigh station?
  12. skydawg
    Swishy,it`s a single axle....didn`t realize you could run them that low .Thanks.
  13. skydawg
    What would be a good tire pressure for a short wheelbase B61,bobtail only,275R/22.5 tubeless tires? Thanks.
  14. skydawg
    We have brake lights! Putting the switch in the left trailer line did the trick.Many thanks to all who responded.
  15. skydawg
    So I can put the switch in one of the trailer air line fittings that are presently plugged?
  16. skydawg
    I got a new brake light switch,connected one post to +batt,the other post to the brake light post on the ten post terminal behind the cab.Now the brake lights come on when air pressure builds,without touching the brake pedal.So there`s air pressure closing the switch when there shouldn`t be any pressure there.I had to disconnect a wire from the switch after shutting the engine off,the lights will stay on as long as there`s pressure in the air tank.I don`t think the new switch is bad,when I installed it the light only came on when I shorted the terminals,with no air pressure in the lines.Any help is appreciated,thanks.The truck is neg ground.

    So the plunger just threads into the pump,no other parts?
  18. skydawg
    Thanks for that,Mechohaulic.I only have 1 fuel filter,don`t know if the other one got ditched along the way.
  19. skydawg
    Is there another way to prime the pump when the plunger isn`t there?
  20. skydawg
    I`ll try again.My ENDT673 engine doesn`t have a priming plunger on the fuel(lift) pump,just a knurled cap.I haven`t seen this in other pics of this motor.Can anyone tell me if this was the norm in 1961? Thanks.
  21. skydawg
    The fuel pump on my 1961 B61 doesn`t have a priming plunger on the fuel pump,just a knurled cap.I think it`s the original engine.The number on the timing cover is ENDT673-74-10.Is this the right setup? Thanks.
  22. skydawg
    I want to install half moon fenders on my single axle B model.What would be a minimum distance to allow for suspension travel.Bobtail use only.Thanks.
  23. skydawg
    I`ll try mineral spirits.
  24. skydawg
    I got a bit of water and several ounces of tan goop from my B air tank.I know that shouldn`t be there,but I suspect it had been years since it was last drained.Any good method of cleaning?I was thinking of repeated acetone pours of maybe 8 oz,until it comes out clean.Thanks.
  25. skydawg
    Can you provide any STEMCO contact info? Thanks.
