Have an 86 HJ 24volt rig; that the shop said compressor was bad..have an 87 FJ60 parts rig 12v. The plumbing on top looks same..can I use the 12v unit or do I need to swap to the 24v clutch? Some things are not voltage specific..a clutch is...

Follow up; so installed working wiper control and closed it all up—horn didn’t work now: checked all horn items on steering column-have voltage, on steering wheel cover horn contacts all have continuity. With steering wheel off jumper wire from...

Wow-electrical is such a ‘process’! Took a few days off for other projects..and honestly to get motivated to possibly ‘fail again’.. Asking God for help—followed the FM diagnostic details and today tested the wiper motor; worked perfectly on...

I’ve pulled he relays-found 3; that makes me think my system is closest to the right side of the diagram above…though some wire colors match the left diagram. I’ve still not figured out what an S/W is nor a wiper lock—anyone know? Next I will...

Hello all-sorry for posting and asking for help so much….as I stated before, electrical is my kryptonite—though each problem and wisdom from all of you is bringing my knowledge up from the basement. Doing another test drive on the 15 year...

Just did a secondary bleed per your technique Duncan and while slave cylinder was retracted adjusted he push rod out about 1/4”-3/8” then readjusted pedal-made the pedal “feel” like it as in a better location. I’ve done 2- test drives on hills...

Good morning Duncan, Just finished performing the bleed and adjustment as discussed above-no fluid drained out of slave cylinder until I pushed back on clutch fork-closed it up and then large slack (over 1”) between clutch fork and rod. Adjusted...

Duncan-thankyou!-clutch master cylinder ‘full volume’ at adjustment helped my mind to grasp this process. Tomorrow I’ll be doing that. Take care

Hi Duncan-interesting…trying to think through what this does differently than I have so far?—does holding the pedal up then slight drain prevent the bounce between the adjustment of pedal area and slave cylinder rod I told you about? Will give...

Hello Duncan-Easter Sunday for you-likely evening or later…. Saturday afternoon here and have finished stalling the new clutch disc from SOR- Started up and shifted-total clutch slip, backed off pedal/piston adjustment: crawled under and slave...

The new slave cylinder is just an aluminum rod with no adjustment: I don’t recall the old one-will look to see if I have it still…..I agree on your comment regarding just slight play-otherwise pressure wears out the throw out bearing early too...

Duncan-good to hear from you again! Wow-your LC knowledge is sure broad and detailed! I’ve read through all your notes and posting-that was a ‘full meal’—I think I understand most of it…yesterday I actually studied the FM on the clutch boost and...

When we purchased the rig no clutch problems. Now that we are nearing end of 15 year restoration and doing shakedown test drives-have had slipping issues to the point of being towed home-even after field adjusting to minimum. The clutch is such...

Well-progress and solution complete. Duncan I followed up on your wisdom: I removed much of the glow/after glow preheat system; pulled preheat timer, trimmed plug/cut harnes to timer for wiring replacement, pulled secondary afterglow solenoid...

Thankyou Duncan and Lostmarbles- I’ll keep trying. And looking Take care

Duncan, I’ve been looking at-planning and thinking through the de-glow process and on the intake manifold—the 2 after glow resistor/heating element probes: what did you find to use to plug those holes? I can’t imagine finding stubby metric...

Duncan- Thankyou for the details and clarification! Yes I agree-simpler the better!-that’s why I’ve been unpleasantly surprised by a circuit board (glow preheat timer). Now I need to see who can provide those glow plugs-I’ll try some suppliers...

Eric’s-I have related questions: too bad no replies. Take care

Duncan-I’ve been doing a lot of reading from your links and your site info and have a couple of questions; 1–have you done this to your 2H? If so, did you do anything different? 2-hj60.com.au mentioned removing the glow plug plate and current...

Duncan-just checked a few things: some updates— 1-GP voltage was just above 26v-had my ground probe on batt neg instead of body ground. 2-checked GP’s with light probe and end to batt ++ and all were dead. 3-talked with 4 wheel auto in Canada...

Found more info that outlines some parts I understand-most I don’t:

Here’s a page from manual that might be my next step..but I don’t know what the ‘plus side of current sensor’ is..resistor side? No 1/2 voltage…Check for batt voltage plus side of resistor? .if ok replace resistor..? If not replace no 2 relay.

I think I don’t know how to post a phone vid on mud…

Posting engine idle and tail pipe no smoke so you have a reference on the rig normally runs. https://share.icloud.com/photos/05a02P5RdTA_-SQR7c6MAeHFA

Good morning Duncan, Did a couple tests this AM: 1-started with glow plug key on voltage—outside temp 54’F. Results: 12.8v initially diminishing to 12.6v. Ran the test again; started at 12.6 diminished to 12.4v. —observation; I thought the...
