    Komatsu D57S-1 Head gasket seep

    Just noticed it yesterday. I was hoping to sell the machine but now will have to hold off. The head gasket is almost $700.00 up here in Alberta. I recently rebuilt the water pump, new combustion chamber rings and copper washers, resealed lift cylinders. As many here know it's impossible to start...

    Which way does this seal get installed?

    Pulled apart leaky Bobcat 15C auger drive that’s been leaking. I put a seal in it a few years ago but I may have put it in upside down. It’s leaking where the shaft goes through the nose cone.

    Whats the difference between low horse and high horse Cat D339 engines?

    I see a 1968 D339 parts engine on Kajiji up Edmonton way. I have a 1963 low horse. Are there any common parts between the two? The guy selling it said two cylinders are seized up due to exposer to the elements when head was off it sitting outside for a couple years. He also said block and crank...

    Cummins 3.9 fuel strainer air?

    Hi everyone. I ran packer out of fuel yesterday. Dumped in say 10 gallons then started priming it back up to start it. Took along time. I put air to tank. Made sure filters got full and eventually cracked injectors and after way too long she fired up. Ran it for 10 minutes and shut it down. Went...

    Brazing aluminum irrigation pipe.

    Been irrigating all summer with practically no rain up here. Got a few pinhole and small cracks in the pipes that leak and make a mess. Tried some aluminum brazing rod and a small propane bottle but couldn’t get it to stick. Then grabbed the map gas bottle with same results. Finally went and...

    Volvo L90C Blowing fuse on gear shifter

    Serial no. - L90CV63088 I'm a retard when it comes to electrical. Appreciate any help, thanks. I replaced the micro switches on the shifter a few months ago and that helped for awhile but now the fuse 29 ( gear shifting ) blows every time I put it in reverse. I checked resistance on wire 177 (...

    Calibration oil for testing diesel injectors

    Hi all! I am going to pop test some injectors off my 12 valve cummins. Do you have to use this oil or can you use diesel instead? I understand the risk of using diesel with vapours. Thanks

    Lippe 3 speed auxiliary

    Pulled this off the 1982 International 1724. It’s not stock. It was behind an Eaton FS6306 which I also took off. Not going back on. You can see the teeth on the sliding collar chipped pretty bad. The adjacent gear is a little rough looking also. Low looks good to me. Are these worth anything or...

    Cummins P-7100 pump modifications Bosch 402-736-887, 215 hp

    Looking for more fuel on the 1996 12 valve. It's in the 1982 International 1724 I'm planning to use for towing my 34' trailer. I see guys modifying the AFC housing internals to get more fuel. Is this the right way to do things or should one install larger plungers and barrels? I'm considering a...

    Looking for Allison 2000 Information

    Does anyone have access to International on this transmission. The guy selling it ended up with it cleaning out a storage unit. Maybe I could use it behind my 12 valve cummings in my 1982 International 1724. The tag is in the picture. Thanks

    1963 D7E 47E Running good

    Looking to upgrade 1982 International 1724

    The truck currently has a rebuilt 5.9 Cummings 12 valve with an Eaton 6306x transmission with a 3 speed spitter box. I don’t like the tranny. It will grind going into third if you don’t have the rpm’s just right. I have a truck driver friend that found an old school 8.3 down in Spokane out of a...

    Has anyone restored 12 volt batteries?

    Got quite a few 12 volt deep cycle batteries that we use for fence chargers that are getting weak. Watching guys on utube using epsom salt to get them back up to snuff. I don't feel like spending too much time on it but also don't like the price of new batteries. Appreciate any advice, thanks.

    D7E 47A 3829 throttle linkage issue

    When I push lever forward to shut down it continues to run. I have to put it in gear to kill it. Do I need to open up the decelerate housing to find out what’s going on or should I just disconnect linkage and try to manually shut down? Thanks
