    1975 Ford 3550 backhoe cav4 issues

    I have a torch they could use to get the tank that's in there out. My wife said she saw one of these guys at the tire shop a couple days ago. She said he right off started telling stories about me. He didn't mention about installing a grain.spreader off ladders on top of corn in an empty...

    1975 Ford 3550 backhoe cav4 issues

    I don't know. I always assumed it was a Ford engine. I got that issue fixed. Quite some time back, I sucked air into the cav pump. In my stupor I didn't notice all of the fuel had leaked out of the fuel tank. I had just filled it and never looked at the fuel gauge before trying to start...

    Thinking About a DPF Delete on My ‘17 GM Diesel – Good Idea?

    Hydraulic Clutch Tool worth considering?

    It's something I've never checked. Not that I've swapped many manual transmissions I think 4 total. And one was in the 1968 Camper Special mechanical linkage -was that a C2500? I must have just got lucky every time. The biggest problem I ever had was bleeding the slaves. I got lucky a...

    Hard Start after some maintenance

    Or air or leak down. I'd start with verifying glow plugs and fuel. Replacing, testing rebuilding and balancing injectors would be right up there Glow plug torque spec is 14 ft-lbs (168 inch-pounds)

    Hard Start after some maintenance

    Since you sound familiar with doing a relay unplug the lift pump. Run wires back from the plug that supply the lift pump, that hot wire will go to the exciter on the relay. Then run back from the relay to run the lift pump. That eliminates the cutting and splicing. Basically, you can...

    HydroBoost and Brake Lamp switch Clip.

    In my younger days, I did 100 push-ups and 100 chinupsand pull-ups as a warm.up for the day. I.nevrr quite got over the eating level that supported my activity level and really packed on the pounds when I got lethargic. I was 220, back then. I got as high as 290 - still had 38" waist on the...

    Hard Start after some maintenance

    Do not follow the schematic for the lift pump relay upgrade that you will most likely find online. Don't cut and splice anything Make it plug and play - like Leroydiesel.com 14 gauge wire Many years ago, I posted the connectors needed to the lift pump and lift pump harness. I've used...

    Towable camper, 5th wheel, gooseneck or bumper pull. We have a total of about 34 ft to park a camper inside of our shed. What can we get?

    Head Lights to LED conversion.

    I think whoever, may have made my headlight harness to be plug and play. It's what I was after at the time. I did not want to cut and splice anything. It definitely takes a load off the light switch on vehicles that don't have a headlight relay

    How do you all get 6.2s to 300K miles

    The old time experienced wrenches are getting harder to find. All of the time. The Toro guy I loved, that used to be in charge of service has to be retired or about ready to There's no amount of teaching that could get his experience shared with the young techs. If he was on vacation or...

    4l80 newb

    In 1977, maybe before. I tried teaching my wife to drive a manual transmission - 3 on the tree - 1965 F100 - i didn't think it was possible to go from 1st to reverse. It is. Luckily it was misty out and the tires broke loose
