All I ran in my Cummins were 14" organic clutches, Yeah they were rated for 1100 but I put 1400+ through them without slippage. Real easy on the flywheel and pressure plate also. If it holds under full load, why do you need more than that?

Thanks for the picture, BTW, Mine had been messed with and the air cleaner and overflow bottle were moved and poorly mounted. I can easily see how they are supposed to go on.

That is what the little on the internet suggests, but I have no experinace converting "Mack" model number to others.

Wacker LT-4? No, wait the cabinet is different.

Sorry, I'm no help.

That's the way mine went. I had been driving for 200 miles, came to a stop at the top of a ramp, and no low range! A cabover it is easier to get the back box off with the trans in the truck. A conventional it is going to working under the cab.

Ok, you have confirmed that the range syncro is the problem, either the piston/fork is not moving, but more likely the syncro itself has come apart not allowing it to move forward or back Take the lines off the range section at the back and make sure air is comeing through when you shift the range flipper on the stick

Put it back together and see if it will pull in high range.

In short: if it will go into deep reduction and come out (even to "neutral") then the peanut valve and deep reduction piston is moving. If it will pull in high range but not low range, (goes to Neutral in low) and you've check the air at the range ports, then it has to be the syncro, if you aren't getting air to the respective hi and lo range ports, then it is likely the slave on the side of the trans isn't shifting position when the main box goes through neutral. I had one go like that, pulled fine until I went to shift to low range, and got nothing, I could pull in high. Since on a 15 or 8LL the splitter either locks the LL to the output or the low range gear to the aux shaft output. Hard to explain in word, but the manual I linked to has good diagrams.

Here is the service manual: https://www.eaton.com/content/dam/eaton/products/transmissions/vehicle-transmissions/8ll/eaton-fuller-heavy-duty-transmissions-service-manual-trsm1500-en-us.pdf If what JM doesn't show anything, then you are going to have to go into the back box. If the range syncro cracks in 1/2 (something they can do) or the LL splittter dog can't slide for some reason. 1st test is can you get anything in high range? Try it from a stand still with the range in high and the front box in the lowest gear, and see if will move. If nothing in high or low range but only LL I'd be guessing the high/low range syncro has come apart and jammed.

Not a lot of room to adj the distributor on that set up!

No, a 6kw light tower. 1800 rpm tho.

I doubt the rings have 1 hr of run time on them. When ever you buy at auction is is a roll of the dice. I knew this didn't run when purchased and paid less then scrap, I can put a little into it and be fine. I need to buy some tooling to work on an engine this small, need a smaller "rack" for my index hone and a 75mm ring compressor. fortunately, the seller provided the old parts he took out, and they didn't have many hr on them either. According to the writing on the air cleaner, it has a grand total of 32 hr run time since 2013. Engine has a rebuild tag from some outfit I haven't heard of. My guess is both the block deck and head have been shaved, raising the compression and bringing the piston too close to the head. It likely ran ok when the engine came from the rebuilder, but when it got worked, the clearances were too tight and the pressures too high, which lead to one rod failure. The guy I got it from tried to rebuild and made it worse. piston to head clearance spec is 0.024-0.031". go to much it it will have low compression, with all that brings, go too little and you end up where I am at. I will try and end up in the higher end of that spec, but it all depends on what thickness gaskets are when compressed and what cylinder head shim I can lay my hands on. I'll start by measuring the piston protrusion or lack there of, in relation to the block deck, then mic the old head gasket thickness to get a ball park figure, then add in a shim if needed, and finely assemble with a piece of solder through the injector port and roll passed TDC to get the final assembly clearance. If it is not correct, then a new head gasket and more or different shim. I don't know of too many engines that can survive a running failure of a piston and not take out the block. Kubota's are tough little engines.

Got tore down this AM, block, head, crank are all good, needs one liner, one rod. Going with a good set of used pistons I have. These engines use a shim between the head gasket and head if the piston clearance isn't to spec (block or head have been decked) it looks like he needed one and didn't install one.

There was no "required documentation", People paid for passage, and went though "Ellis Island"or other entry port. Most had nothing, the lucky ones could name someone who was a family member who were going to take them, but many did not. There was no getting a visa at an embassy in some other country. There was no "pre-screening", they came off the boat and if the US denied entry, the US often had to pay to send them back, many had nothing or 50 cents left when they arrived, My Grandfather came in that way, through New York, but he had an Uncle who had already made it in. Someone has to be 1st.

So, you'd be fine with the next administration deciding that the 2nd amendment is causing too many deaths so they can ignore it? round up all the guns, deport those that resist! I'd love to hear what you would say then!

Depends on how bad the bores are, It is dry lined engine so as long as any damage hasn't penetrated the liner into the block, it should be rebuild able. I've got some used pistons that don't look bad, and it will need at least one rod. Rod could be removed from the bottom with the head in place! The effected rod big end looks fine, both crank and bearing shells. Unit came with a top end gasket kit, another new set of main bearings, and assorted loose gaskets. Had it running long enough to verify the generator it was attached to works, so I know it is worth putting a little into it. Kubota's are tough little engines!

D950 Kubota. Like most Kubota's when one cyl fails catastrophically it still runs on the other 2! No longer "wisper quiet" however!

"Has fuel system problem, starts and runs on ether'! Yeah it will have a fuel system problem if you don't run a fuel filter on a diesel. And NO it doesn't run on ether, for long.

The difference was explained in my post above. either caught at the boarder, and ruled not eligible for one of the programs, or caught after being expelled the 1st time where at deportation order had been already issued on that person, that is the difference. Bush, Obama, Trump (1) and Biden all did it the legal way, this time they are not following the law. I have no problem expelling those without the legal right to be here, but do it according to the law, you can't say "we don't have time to follow the law therefore we will ignore it">

You can't "suspend" the rule of law because it is "inconvenient" to reach your desired outcome. I am not say we should not deport, only that we must follow the law to do so. If you have a open deportation order, don't let the gate hit you in the butt on the way out, That is the difference between prior admin's (of both parties) and the current one who "doesn't know" if he has to uphold the constitution! This admin is sending letters to citizens to "self deport". which just shows they have no idea who they are deporting.

While that figure is true according to several sources, it is also misleading. Mostly it consisted to 2 groups, those crossing, then seeing a emigration officer (not a judge) and not found to have credible claim to enter and sent back, and 2) those that have crossed before, sent back and crossed again. That is very different than scooping people off the street, saying they are "illegal" without any proof or verification on the governments part, and wisked off to another country. The very big difference is that they were either caught when crossing, or had been previously identified and when caught again given the choice of fighting while in lock-up or "voluntary" deportation, most chose being deported over being locked up. in both cases their identity was verified. Today we have people being deported in the night who HAVE seen a judge and HAVE been granted the right to stay. We have people being picked up and deported without the chance to prove if they are a citizen or have seen a judge and.or been granted the right to stay.We have those picked up because they "look Latin" and have a similar name. Just because ICE accuses someone of being "illegal" doesn't make it so. If you are accused of a crime, that doesn't make you guilty, The police, be it your local town cop or an ICE agent doesn't get to be all three, judge jury and executioner. THAT IS OUR SYSTEM and it keeps everybody safe from being railroaded. I have no problem sending "crosser" back at the point of entry if they don't meet the criteria for one of the programs that let them stay. I don't have a problem deporting those with orders of removal if they have them as long as time is taken to verify their identity (finger prints). I have a real big problem when people are picked up off the street (not at/ near the boarder) and not given a chance to contest what they are being accused of but has not been verified by the courts. I was born here, lived all my life here, but I can not produce a piece of paper that "proves" I am a citizen while on the street, If you apply the same rule that you do to Juan, to me, then what is keeping me out of Salvadorian prison? Nothing other than I am white and look anglo. That is not rule of law, that is harkoning back to the days of slavery that every black person was a slave until proved otherwise.

I have never seen it, but it was mentioned by one of the two I mentioned, both people have a ton of experience, so if they say something, I take notice. They have seen things that most have not. Very hard to diagnose from a keyboard, something that would jump out, for one of us, might not for others and therefore don't get mentioned. IF it is seized, and will not turn, then break it into sections, drop the drive shaft and see if the trans output shaft will turn with the trans in neutral. If it turns at the output but not the input, it could be a jammed counter shaft or seized engine.

Yeah, I had to get a full time job hauling freight to pay for my truck up-keep! LOL😃

you'd think those carriers needed a PTO?
