sent you a PM

Probably about what's really in an Egg McMuffin

offal ???? sounds like it's awful here too

Ah..its known as offal over here.... Paul

Well basically its all the left over parts after the good meat is butchered off the animal.

Ok i I just had to ask...what is scrapple?Might be called something else over here in Ireland... Paul

I bet they do.... Who doesnt love a sandwhich or breakfast hash made with lips and butt holes... Deeee.... licious..

What does the input shaft look like ?

Personally, I prefer the 1 piece brake. They seem to hold up better.

I don't know, but we should probably send a couple of boatloads of it to them anyway.

Hey OtherDog, I wonder if they have scrapple in Australia?

The bypass line is use until the T stat is full open to return the coolant back to the pump to allow it to circulate within the block. The bleed line or passage prevent any air from being trapped in the future. Injector copper sleeves can weep a small amount of air into the coolant on start up. the bleed line or passage makes sure it doesn't get trapped in the top of the pump housing. Run a de-aeration tank low, and you can get air into the system. By allowing it to escape, you prevent the pump from being air bound. Take a picture of which lines you are talking about and I will try and tell you the reason for them. In all cases, the outlet of the water pump is directed to the bottom of the block, this makes the outlet of the pump lower than the top of the waterpump housing. That makes the housing an air trap. There are some (tend to be lighter duty engines) where the outlet of the water pump is to the top of the block or cylinder head, these self vent but direct the coldest water to the hottest part on the engine, which isn't great for even cooling. Most modern engines direct the outlet to the bottom of the block.

Just wanting to close out this thread with what I found. After replacing all fuel line hoses from tank to injector pump with no resolve I ordered and replaced the lift/fuel pump and the problem has been resolved. Even though this engine has less than 200,000 miles on it, it is 40+ years old and I do understand that alone with things wearing out, they also age out. Thanks everyone for all your input.

John Deere sold plenty of industrial engines, lot of farm irrigation pumps and generators had/have John Deere engines Dunno about Mack, I'm thinking Kato cranes in Australia But I'm fairly sure they were a crane bolted to a Mack chassis Paul

Other than type, 2 inch should be what you need. (one piece torque limiting...2 piece replaceable or "hinged type" replaceable). By replaceable I mean without removing the transmission. I really don't know if the input shaft retainer would be any different.

WOW thats a lot of typing Anyway, lets keep it simple because Im a dumb ass If the air is expelled from the system, why does it have a pipe, going up fown, left, right or were ever to bleed trapped air away ? As once the air is expelled, there is no air left So whats the purpose of this pipe work ? Paul

There are two reasons, for a pipe from the thermostat housing to the pump. One, is a return when the 'stat is closed (bypass), this keeps the coolant circulating. This, however tends to be a larger pipe, and is connected to the inlet side of the pump. Often a small hose or pipe from the pressure side is exactly what I am referring to, a bleeder line to to high point in the block to allow the air to escape. In Larry' s engine the bypass connects back down at the oil-cooler so not directly connected to the waterpump. depending on how the waterpump is situated on the block, the bleeder can be internal or external with a line, in each the reason is the same to eliminate a pocket of air. For the last aprox 50 years, a bottom fill/degassing tank has been used to eliminate air in the cooling system, with vents lines in the upper water rail and in the upper radiator tank. On a 3406 the pumps is low and gear driven, there is a large passage from the T stat housing back down to the pump ~1.5" diameter, when coolant from the degassing tank (where the cap and fill are) is directed to the inlet of the waterpump and the air can escape up the bypass line to the T stat housing (and upper water rail vent line) to the degassing tank. Since the bypass line is vertical from the top of the pump, the air pocket is eliminated. Cummins does it different with the waterpump bolted in a casting on the front of the block, with a small hole through to the main coolant passages in the block to allow air to vent out of the pump recess in the block into the main coolant passages in the block and on to the upper water rail.

i remember reading about a few quad turbo E9 V8's made for tank use by france, but dont know if they were ever shipped/used.

Ok, my transmission didn't have a clutch brake on it because it was from a stationary powerplant and didn't get shifted. Are the brakes pretty generic as for fitment? As long as it is for a 2" shaft it will be okay? I know my input has a groove for the brake to engage.

Can't remember if it was Swishy or Paul posted a video of a day in an Aussie truck driver's life. I remember the guy riding his bicycle to work and stopping for breakfast. There was some thing like sausages on the plate.....and everything else you could think of.

Our Ozzie Sausages have traces on meat in them LOL cya

Was it a tank , or armored personnel carriers ? Might have been in France too if it was.
