    I received the PS pump and already installed it. Thanks for helping me getting my rig back up and running again!

    Do you still have the power steering pump and pulley available? I only need the pulley but I don't mind purchasing both. Thanks!

    Rear brake locking Drums all the way

    This can occur if fluid is leaking into the drum brake. Most likely it is a bad axel seal that is allowing fluid to get on the shoes.

    Fuel pump problem - need help

    In-fact you should not be able to blow air (very low pressure) from the carb side to the tank. If you can that means the check valves are stuck open. If they are stuck open (even one) than the fuel pump will not be able to create a vacuum thus not be able to draw fuel from the tank.

    Fuel pump problem - need help

    Right, the check valves only permit fuel from flowing from the tank to the carb. So you must blow air in the same direction.

    Fuel pump problem - need help

    You could also try pouring fuel into the supply line and filling up the filter first. But I still think the check valves are stuck. Try blowing air through the line before buying any new parts.

    Fuel pump problem - need help

    I have seen situations where the check valves (there are two) have frozen due to varnish. To resolve this issue I have blown air (at low pressure) from the supply side of the pump forcing the valves to unstick. Other issues could be you are not waiting long enough for the pump to prime itself...

    Newest Feature

    All of my brake/clutch cylinders that I bought from CCOT died within 1 year. After that I only order OEM brake/clutch master/cylinders. You can save money now and have to replace it in a couple of years (more $$) or buy OEM and replace in 20 years.

    Looks like RockDoc beat me to it.

    You cannot tell just by looking at the piston, remember that the piston rises to TDC twice. That also means that the flywheel will say TDC twice. I would flip the rotor 180 degrees and try again.

    Safe to sandblast?

    I sandblasted my entire FJ-40 using sand with out any problems. I used a 300# pot with a 175CFM compressor that I rented from an equipment rental store. The key is to not stay in one spot for long and do not place the nozzle to close to the metal. I stayed about 18-28 inches a way and never...

    What is your experience with Cat, J.D and or Case backhoes

    I worked in the rental industry for 8 years and can give you my opinion. Personally I love Cats, but I would never own one myself due to the extremely high cost of maintenance. So that leaves us with Case and John Deere. The Case is a machine that you cannot kill (like a FJ-40) and has an...

    Voltmeter on the fritz

    Well, you probably overloaded the internal circuits of the voltmeter. Most voltmeters can't handle that high of a voltage that is being produced at the spark plug. Jesse

    Low power on 97 SC 80

    Maybe your center diff is not locking up? Have you tried it with front driveshaft installed and wheels locked and diff lock switch off? Jesse

    4bt drivability

    Does anyone know if the 4bt is the same engine that is in a 310E John Deere Back Hoe? They look identical if i remember correctly. I know the horse power/torque curves would be completly different. Jesse

    Questions---> trailer brakes, trailer security...

    I would recommend double checking wiring before hooking up to your truck. It sucks to burn through fuses. Jesse

    99 100 series rear locker in High range?

    Thats what I was thinking. Something about if you are unlocked one wheel will keep you from sliding sideways while the other wheel will drive you. But if you are locked the back end will try to slide sideways. Jesse

    99 100 series rear locker in High range?

    I know there is no snow in east texas so i have no experience in it. But isn't bad to lock your diffs in snow, especially while driving fast? Jesse

    rough running with full tank

    Don't throw your stock carb away, a propery built Aisin(stock) carb will beat any weber/holley. I don't think that its your carb or anything. I would think that for some reason when the fuel tank is full a vacuum is being created inside the tank. I would fill it up and drive it about a mile...
