Fiat Iveco are the biggest diesel engine manufacturers in the world Ford NewHolland farm tractors are owned by Iveco So it would most likely be that a lot of this engineering is in this motor Probably a lot like Mack and Scania once were Same same but totally different From the numbers of trucks built in Europe I would very much doubt it is a dud at all Paul

Sounds like you have a vacuum leak Out with some WD 40 and spray it about the manifold mating surfaces and joins etc and if the engine revs change your getting close to solving the problem Make sure the carby base is flat and square Mums glass chopping board from the kitchen and spray some glue on and stick a sheet of fine-ish sandpaper to it and rub the base of the carby in a figure 8 motion and this will soon show up if it is warpped If it runs fine with the choke part out it won't be spark as spark is working okay Paul

All systems go by the sounds of it Paul

Last time I saw a new cab or as new cab advertised in Australia was 10 grand, I don't think it ever sold That was maybe 3 o r 4 years ago now 10 grand Australian is about 7 grand U.S. Then take shipping off that and I guess that it would be around 5 grand in the states What people ask and what people get can be vastly different Paul

is this a Ford built motor or a rebadged motor The figures are pretty impressive, not huge by todays standards but a good performer by the way it reads As much power as a E9 500 Paul

Im sure there was minor differences to the blocks thru out the years But as far as I know the main difference in E6 blocks was between Maxidyne and Thermodyne Maxidyne I believe had more webbing cast into the block To make the motor rev harder you need to increase the tension on the fly weights I believe that this is achieved by pulling out the shims that I pointed to in a picture earlier This makes the motor rev harder before the rack starts to close the injector pumps off as the fly weights have more pressure against them so move out at higher revs Paul

Okay, simple answer is pull some shims out of here The round doo hickie with 4 bolts thru it This will put more tension on your governor spring so the motor revs harder before the rack starts to close the pump off Pure WAG (wild ass guess) from a dumb ass but I reckon you'll see a result Paul

Glad it's Friday for some, day 15 was Friday and today (Saturday in Australia) is 16 days with out stopping Glad I'm only young, can't imagine what I would feel like if I was bornt last century, I mean I would be old and really stuffed Oh hang on I was and I am 😂 Joey some years ago it was suggested I see a kinesiologist, I was sceptical but I can tell you it made a huge difference I don't feel like Im 21, maybe more like my mid 30's Kinesiology only works on muscles and releasing tension, I squealed like a little bitch, she was only using her thumb but new were and how touch the muscle tendons I was squealing and farting and apologizing for farting all at the same time This having to make a dollar gets in the way of having fun in life Paul

Im waiting for that to happen, then get the steering wheel put on the correct side Then I'll bust out the cheque book and give one a go Paul

Do you have a air gauge you can hook to lines to check pressure ? Paul

If the brake pedal is going to the floor and your not stopping properly it sounds like your brakes are out of adjustment Now for old school junk like I have the slack adjuster should be set at right angles to the chamber rod Then adjust the brakes up The rod shouldn't moce past 90° on full pressure It sounds like (as others have said) you have jumped a S cam Pull the slack adjusters off and soak in diesel and bung them in vice and put a rattle gun and work them round and then soak a bit longer You will be surprised at just how dry old grease will be Slack adjusters rarely need changing unless the locking part is stripped Hook shop air up and give full allocations and watch and listen Wedge a bit of wood between the seat or steering wheel so you can hold the full application and walk about and listen Some ideas Paul

Cracking read Enjoy the truck Paul

I think it's a European truck and as such it looks pretty good, not saying that European trucks are ugly but they do have a different style to the U.S. At the end of the day the looks don't matter for 99% of trucks operating in the world, it's the dollars and cents that make it work or not I'm fairly certain these will sell okay and if available in Australia and NewZealand they would sell like hot cakes Paul

Not mine, no connection to me but I thought some might find of interest https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/857893105554772/?mibextid=dXMIcH Paul

A little bit more 1965 Brockway 257T owned by Ed Greene of Barton, NY Anyway, Im pretty sure the ass end was all spring So I looked a bit harder and I'm wrong, lazy axle is air bag And yes I do like the colour Mark Bob the peach is his little girl I reckon nothing better than having my adult boy ride with me in my Bucket of bolts Paul

I had spyed the same doodah Swishman and am puzzled by the doodah I wonder if it controls air to the lazy axle brakes ? Paul

They sure would Hippy Long drive in Mrs Mack via Russia and Alaska to take the happy snap Paul

Not a bad looking jigger, paint colours are a very wise choice 😉 Seems to toodle along okay Paul

Might be of interest to someone https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1049577446482589/?mibextid=dXMIcH Paul

Now to my way of thinking, and yes I am quite deluded This would be the type of thing to take for a drive around the states and up into Canada and were ever else I want, so much cooler than a RV type of deal Paul

Email thingy sent

Looking forward to these Put me down for a set, air freighted to this wide brown land Stuff it make it three sets, gotta make the kero kite work a bit Paul

When hauling sugar cane the trash gets sucked in everywhere We would carry long rods, say a few feet long with a hook on one end and loop to hang your hand thru and pull the trash out a few times a day Paul

WOW, you blokes get into the festive spirit early, I have found a unsuspecting tree that will offer itself if some other bugger doesn't flog it first Paul

I think most times the fuel should return to a tank on one side and draw off the other side, this keeps all the fuel fresh and also keeps the fuel cooler Paul
