I took apart an old leveling valve that I pulled off a trailer and it had gunk and debris in it. I think the inside of the tanks can corrode and...
I'll go to my local Cat dealer and see if they'll give me a parts manual for my serial number. Not sure if they'll have a physical copy sitting on...
Good points. I may try to find a C model parts manual since some of them start with the same prefix as my B. Might get me a little closer.
I have a 3406B with serial # 3ZJ03413. Found service manuals for it but can't find a parts manual. Would a parts manual for a 4MG give me mostly...
Great idea. Looks like those guns could squirt enough pressure to flush out of the gallies. Just flood the block and keep flushing. I'll see if I...
Yeah I saw the tube and pipe brush set at Harbor Freight for six bucks. I also see a specific "engine cleaning brush set" online for $57. I don't...
The service manual has a very specific procedure for startup and engine run-in after the rebuild, but I don't mind using some Marvel if it'll help...
Good point about the kerosene. Didn't even think of that or mineral spirits. Thanks for the input.
1977 International farm tractor, DT436 engine. Good news is that it's a good old simple diesel engine, won't be hard to rebuild. And I have the...
Yes, but nothing in the CECU codes related to climate control; lots of turn signal faults come up, though, so that was surprising. Anyways, I...
I'm using Jaltest to read fault codes on a 2019 Pete with an MX13. When I connect to the HVAC/Climate control system in Jaltest and click on read...
Perfect. Thanks for chiming in.
I just spent the past hour googling images of PEEC engines and B models and comparing them, and I don't think this is a PEEC. Seems like all the B...
If you zoom in, you can see wiring and an electronic thing on the right side of the pump, which makes me think it's the PEEC engine. But, I...
I haven't seen Cat 3208 mentioned. The farm I currently work for has 8 trucks with a 3208 in them, most have a turbo but a couple don't. They do...
I'm about to make an offer on two trucks with Cummins 855s; neither are running, so they'll make good rebuild projects. One is a 1982 KW K100C;...
I know these two trucks aren't as high as the newer $200,000 trucks, but these should be $25,000-$30,000 trucks, yet the asking price is double or...
You'll want a few days out of the truck occasionally; however, that doesn't have to be at "home." It can be anywhere you want. In 2003 I hired on...
I will ask about these things. Thank you.
I just did some research on interlocks based on the previous comment, and it seems that if an interlock pin/ball is seized, then it will fail to...
