Keep one of these on hand in case you need a quick fix
I was thinking he need to start a taxi service and pick up all the pizza guys when it snows!
I think I broke it. it cranked 3 times, then something went clank, it started grinding, and stopped spinning.
Starter Bendix?
oooh, I guess it could be. I got it to crank over by starter- at least I hear the starter working_ I think the engine is turning too, but just sticking to Known Knowns - and every revolution it bogs at the same spot.
Broken ring gear teeth?
Isn't there a video of @Pighead starting his pig with the hand crank floating around here somewhere???
Or was that somebody else?
Or was that somebody else?
There may be, I've done it a few times. Started other people's Landcruisers too.
low. 12.54. been too long since I ran it up. battery is only a year old. I gotta rig an onboard maintainer. I put in a source unknown dizzy in it a few months ago so I could get the big cap OEm gone thru, and so I was gunna yank it to check the sheer pin. The starter was also on my list of easy things to check first. I also thought maybe the battery was just low, but the grinding happened after it had rolled over a few times. It sounded like the starter was engaging the ring gear when I hit the key after that, it would budge a very tiny bit then stop. Did that twice and the third time I thought I heard a backfire that "seemed" to coincide with the motion stopping, so I unplugged the coil, and let it sit while I panicked for a few seconds. Then the starter would turn it over all the way but it bogged pretty seriously at a specific point each time around.
I should know this after all of these years.BUT: when did the hand crank start disappear from the 40/55 trucks?
Take out the sparkplugs and try again...
I think all the 55s had them, just to lower the spare tire. The ability to use it on the crankshaft, I think went away with the A/C on the US models. Handcranking might still work in the rest of the world.
I've often thought about how to adapt that feature to the late 2F balancer on my rig.
I imagine it's a simple thread out/thread in swap...same crankshaft isn't it?
I suppose it is. I know the crank bolt has a larger diameter than the bolt of an fj60. Don't know if the earlier bolt fits the late pulley...
