That is true Glenn. They also used them on the 12V-71 series. My Detroit used that type but also had a "Tuthill" gear pump driven from the left engine camshaft and the governor operated independent of the engine oil pressure. As they wore they were more and more "sloppy", (mainly ripple and droop) as the wear became worse. One of mine got to the point the frequency would shift almost 5% when a sizeable load was applied. I changed it to an American Bosch unit with a magnetic pickup and the same shift went to about 1/2% with the new governor. The response was instantaneous with no surge, or hunting, and stability never drifted. Some electronics are good and work as they should. Rob

Got a question for you guys: I'm reconfiguring my shop and trying to come up with a new layout for stall width. Got to make room for some "newer" large equipment recently purchased and have always wanted a dedicated tool crib/room for the larger shop items. I've spent the past couple of days wondering a couple of different things like; What the hell did I keep that for? and the classic; What the hell is that for??; followed closely by; What the hell did I buy that for?? This is of course all at the constant reassurance and confidence instilling speech by my wife that is something like: If you had half a brain in that flat topped skull of yours, you would remember!!! Now you know why I'm so sensitive. Do you think 12 feet in width per stall at 25 feet in depth is enough for a tractor or medium straight truck? Using the above mentioned sizing, I can get five stalls on one side wall with a nine ft. wide tool room in the center, and four stalls on the other sidewall. This would leave no real extra room in the main shop, but I still have the 50ft.X100ft. addition out back waiting to be erected for covered storage. Of course if I were to pack nine trucks inside there would really be no place to work except in the open aisle down the center of the building which is 18ft. wide. I don't really consider that an option as I'm pretty bad about picking up after myself now that I don't have the retail trade through the shop. You guys that spin wrenches would know if this is large enough and it must be kept in perspective that shop tools need a place to store, along with large items removed. A basic rule of thumb with an auto body shop is two stalls per repair, but the stalls are 10ft. in width. Thanks, Rob

Yeah, Woodward made them. Great when they did not leak, or the linkage was not worn internally. They would hold a steady rpm within the horsepower range of the engine very well until aged. I did away with them on gensets almost 20 years ago due to difficulty obtaining parts. Up until a couple of months ago I'd never seen one on a motor vehicle, (except fire apparatus) and lately several have shown up. They were great for running a stationary pump but as Herb mentioned if the oil pressure doesn't rise with the engine cranking, they don't like to start, or idle correctly. Rob

Yeah, well it sure feels like you're making fun of my birth defect. I guess it's better than being called a "cocktail table in transit" though. Suppose I can find it within my heart to forgive you; Just be extra careful of my sensitive side in the future. You know I emmotionally bruise easily. Rob

There you go picking on me again. Rob

Post a photo of your injection pump. I think you have a Woodward governor setup on your pump but want to verify first. What did your truck do in it's prior life? Rob

If you have all the plumbing, such as air, and oil lines, couplers, turbo/fan etc., it will go right on. It will fit under the hood but be cramped. You will have a noticeable increase in power with setting the injection pump calibration to the ENDT-676 setting plus a little more. Just be careful with the throttle application when loaded. Transmissions can be tempermental with the increase in torque you will have. If you are accustomed to running a 237 in the truck already, you'll have no problems. Rob

Kudos to him. I'll bet that pup would make a loyal friend for life. If you can put up with their yapping, Beagles are very good companions. I had one once upon a time. Captain Billy Whizbang was his name. Good dog that seldom made a peep, and he was full blooded. Rob

The natural juice is very high in saturated and insoluble fat(s). A true connoisseur such as I knows this and looks after his customers' health and wellbeing. When they, (provided critters) are not "pre flattened" by hi way traffic, an extra laborious operation must be taken, this in turn commands a higher price in the retail markets that I am making attempt to corner. I must keep costs in line to be profitable. Wait till you try my new sauce. You'll purge the thought of anything better. Rob

I'd be in the retrieval stage for whoever put the dog in the dumpster, and the county officer who said "push the button". Then I'd take the worthless, pieces of shit human garbage and have them "drawn and quartered", before I got mad. But then; I like beagles fried, baked, broiled, (open face of course), and BBQ'd. Rob

It would help immensely to rid myself of the counterbalance weight I've installed on the rt. side of the cab so it rides level when I drive; But that's a whole different story..... Ps: The sauce is very high in calorie content. I've put on a few pounds since Thursday. Rob

Hi Thad, if I do build the trailer that is the size I plan to go with. I have four new 17.5 open center rims that a guy gave me but no tires. I can't remember the diameter of the 14.5 tires but do know they are smaller yet. I do want to go with radial constrution if at all possible. The low profile is important as I plan to make the trailer a traveling axle. I have all the hydraulic items to make this work including the cylinders. Just don't think I've got the time readily available to build it right now. Needing a trailer before the end of the year so may just purchase something to sell later when mine is built. Thanks, Rob

Hi David, thanks for the tip. I will call them to see if they are available in radial construction. Rob

Naw, you can use the sauce sparingly as you do not want to cover, or mask the natural taste of the meat. I rate midwest opposum with a deliciousity content of six on a scale of one to ten. Rob

If I'd have known, would have sent you over some grilled opposum white meat. Me an Herb come up with a delicacy to soon hit the market but are still in the test and evaluation phase. Tell the farmer I said "Hi". Rob

Save the drain oil for me and Herb. We depleted his stocks last week. Rob

That looks like my 58 B61 and was set up similar. Going back that way with it, almost exact. Rob

By all means; Welcome. Rob

I've still got my bottle in the trunk. Me an Momma gonna check into it later this evening over feline spare ribs. Appreciate you "simmering" the recipe down for me, saves a bit of time. Rob

Naw, just "full belly syndrome" Rob

Made it home just a few minutes ago. Left Sheboygan at 8:30 central, and just got here so you don't have to worry about me....... Rob

Naw, I've got enough pickled, frozen, and canned testicles to last me a few month's of cooking seasons. With the haul from Herb's place, I'm prolly set for the next several cookouts. He done the ole cafe right I tell ya. Rob

Just got back from Herb's place and had a nice visit/tour. Also picked up the merchandise, (what a SCORE) I went for and as an added bonus, grabbed some small impacted critter from along side the median, coat hangered him to the exhaust pipe and drove 70mph back down I-43 for the 52 miles I had left to the trip. I'm letting him cool down a bit now as the guy is just a little too hot to munch right now. Herb, the sauce makes a very nice honey glazed look. I'll let you know how it tastes in a bit. Rob
