    Dump Cylinder Plumbing Pics

    Thanks for the response... I think I'm starting to get a grasp on how this needs to work, but I'm still a little fuzzy on a couple things. Thanks for your patience and sharing your knowledge, and here goes: I need to attach one line from my valve stack to the "inlet" on my cylinder which will...

    Dump Cylinder Plumbing Pics

    These are pics of the cylinder I'm trying to use, and the type of valve arrangement that is on the truck.... Hope these will clarify what I'm up to, and thanks for the input and suggestions.....

    Dump Cylinder Plumbing

    I recently added a dump body manufactured by Perfection-Cobey to my 88' International 1900. The truck has a central hydraulic system that powers an old school Frink plow and wing setup. What I thought would be a simple swap has taken a bit of a turn when I went to do the plumbing.....The valve...

    Engine Swap Questions

    Thanks everybody for the continued input of my question.....The update is I'm leaning more toward the International DT466. I've got 3 or 4 to choose from, still in trucks so I can hear/see them run and then make a choice. Guy tells me after making my selection they will separate it from the...

    Engine Swap Questions

    Thanks everyone for their input on this. After searching for a 7.3 in good condition that was reasonably priced (daunting task in itself), I've been recommended to consider th Cummins ISB. Lantraxco got it right. At 190 hp, and I'm told they have torque like you read about, it seemsthe choice...

    Engine Swap Questions

    My 1986 International 1600 has informed me that its 6.9 diesel is no longer interested in going down the road. The reason I know this is the muffled rapping sounds coming from low in the block, and that any resemblance of oil pressure has ceased to register on the dash gauge. Having driven...

    1986 International 1600S Wiring Issues

    Glad I'm not the only one challenged with bad wiring. There's one issue I'm still having trouble with ant that is my back up lights. I'm only producing 8 volts for some reason. I checked the terminal at the junction box behind the seat and get the same results. Moved forward a bit and...

    Bobcat 2410 Articulated Front End Loader

    I love this machine! There was one for sale in my area a year or so ago and I'm kicking myself for not following through with it. I bought a couple other machines for about the same money they were asking for. In the long run I think this would have been a better choice.....

    1986 International 1600S Wiring Issues

    An update on my little wiring campaign.....I was hoping for a quick fix, but that just never seems to work out for me. I forced myself to slow down and take a real good look at what I was actually dealing with. I found undersized wiring, taped up connections, those cheesy connections that...

    1986 International 1600S Wiring Issues

    Thanks for your quick reply Shimmy. I was thinking along the same lines about the questionable ground as well. I'll look for that junction and track stuff from there. Thanks again, and I'll keep this post updated....

    1986 International 1600S Wiring Issues

    My 1986 International is giving me some wiring issues. Particularly with rear tail and marker lights. This truck plows snow and also spreads sand and salt for the town in which I reside. Some connections broke due to corrosion, which is an easy fix. Remove crappy butt splices and replace...

    waldon 6000

    Good for you Chris, and welcome. I'm not able to offer any assistance with your question, however I too am an owner of a Waldon product. Mine is the 5000 series powered by the mighty three cylinder, air cooled Deutz diesel. I haven't actually had much success here with my quest for...

    Cat 303 Mini Battery Light Flashing

    Mine flashes until the alternator reaches enough rpms to get "excited", then goes out. Loose wire, bad ground, check battery connections? I'm sure you know the drill.....

    Winter wipers

    Well thanks everybody. Sorry for the delay in response, got sidetracked with another project....Replacing the windshield. Figured I needed to do that before worrying about what wipers to use. Now I got to go shopping for arms and blades.
