9-2 is power reset without the key... Very common issue...

When I was a 'Pumpkin Driver' '98-'99... I drove several diferent Int. cabovers.. I would love to own one.. I just think they are cool.. The fastest one I had was the last one.. an old western auto, cab over with the smallest sleeper in the wolrd, and it had a doghouse. I used to kick the shifter while getting in and out of my britches It had a cummins, N-14 or M-11, cant remeber, with a 9 spd. I could actually pass Schneiders and J.b.-Hunts ,,, uphill.. Anyway,, just my 2cents.. jojo

Well that's a nice way of putting it.. I put up no trespassing signs one year on my 400 foot long road side fence, and one of my neighbors got pissed at me and shot two of them a bunch of times with his BB gun.. The law man told me there was nothing they could do about it.. This same neighbor shot my shop 3 times last fall, and the law man told me the same thing.. And I said to him,. Well it wasn't me who shot holes into my shop that earns my living.. He said he needed proof... This neighbor has vandalized my property 6 times in ten years,. Same story from the law man every time.. anyway...

True that, O.D. I have ADT, 14 years now.. I was given 4 signs with it.. I gave two of my signs to neighbors, and to this day they still have them out front of their houses... But don't have the service

Ok.. I guess I'm not the right guy for this one.. sorry sir. I would just drain the oil and look behind the cover.. I also don't have the svc. Manual for that tranny either.. if I did I would send you pictures.. sorry sir.. Jojo

So it's a twin stick? After you drain the tranny oil, you can pull the bottom rear bearing cover. There you should see female splines in the end of the counter shaft. That is where the PTO months. There is a special bearing cover for PTO mounting..

That's great.. Thanks for posting the fix.. jojo

I guess, my question to you is.... Do you have a good mechanic's background? For one of us to give the run down on procedures would be extensive here.. If you want to P.M. me with your cell number. I can try to call you tomorrow and try to answer some questions.. Jojo

Running the overhead on this engine has to be followed by the book!! If it is done incorrectly, several issues WILL occur.. One being that the ceramic lifters will crack and cause major issues.. I wish I was there to inspect it, and possibly hear it run..

I just went back over it... I am sorry.. I thought i saw that head gaskets were done.. However my thoughts on the rest are the same.. Forgive me... Jojo

I hope my last post isnt a rude one.. I just know those engines really well, and my distain for them is where my opinions come from.. jojo

It shouldnt be a head gasket, because of the fire rings. If a fire ring was left out it would have blown out the gasket on that cylinder. It can be, worn valve guides, bad piston ring(s), a cracked head, possibly.. I just looked at the pics again..I dont mean any disrepect, but it looks awfully dirty and rusty to have the heads off of it, and if the manifolds were left on the heads and pulled as a whole unit. I would expect the mechanic to break it down on the bench to clean and re-gasket it.. The ASET-C is not an engne to cut time and corners on...I am also concerned about proper valve adjustment.. That is also VERY specific... Sorry sir.. With respect, Jojo

I wanna go sledding!!!! Dammit... Have a blast in Wisconsin.. Jojo

That system SUCK'S !!!!!!!!

Looks like she pushing oil into the cylinders.. Not good.. Pull the exh. manifold off, and I bet you have some wet ports..

X107's use the lowere counter shaft for a PTO drive. If you take the PTO cover off. You can look to see if the PTO drive gear is on the countershaft between the speed gears.. It's been over 20 years since I built one, and I am forgetting.. Now if the tranny is a 200 series, the gear is there.. I had a bit of confusion on what tranny you have since it was at first a 5 spd, then a 2050, now its a 107.. Mybe you could take a picture of the stamping in the case so we can see exactly what it is.. Jojo

The ugly duckling is a beautiful Swan now... That is awesome !! Jojo

🤔

so there isnt a PTO gear already installed on the counter shafts, like all the other tranny's? I'm glad you posted that.. I didnt know that.. I never had to install a gear in the tranny's of the trucks that I put wet systems on.. Thanks again.. Jojo

it's too bad fuel tanks dont have side plugs in them anymore... I would rather have a cross over.. I think the key is tightly crimped fuel lines at the valve that they pull through... I forgot the name of it..

I always thought that the PTO gear on the counter shaft,was the same size and positioned in the same spot related to how a PTO would mount? ( Mack/Eaton/Meritor) tranny's for example.. At times I was asked what ratio PTO I wanted, but for some reason, dont remember giving truck info.. I would just buy a PTO in the box, Chelsea/Muncie/ Bazares,,, and so on. I would set backlash, install the PTO, and then install the pump, and well,, you know the rest.. jojo

Check out Monaco tool co. (Uegene Oregon)... Thats where I got my counterbore cutter..

Rsc1717 .... I have a few specialty tools from Freedom Racing.. They are realy good quality, for not being Kent-Moore or OTC.. jojo

I beleive it...... I beleive on quiet night's I can hear it rust...

Its no big deal really.... I didnt put the pictures there, so I was just wondering how they got there.. OK,,, new topic...
