Kansas farmer Posted November 6, 2016 Author Share Posted November 6, 2016 The driptroit looked rather at home in there. It looked like the old girl had been sitting in the weeds for a while.

tjc transport Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 sucks that it has a green leaker in it. but i guess that was all they could find in a pinch to get it running again.

Vladislav Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 When I bought my original (Russian) NR it had a Russian kind of 6-71 under the hood. The truck is basically similar to LF. And has almost similar hood. The earlier versions had closed L-model cab either. The reason I'm posting that is the folks who fit the engine had to cut out the front chassis cross-member (the radiator support) to clear the crankshaft pulley. So I would expect seeing the same "customizing" in that LJ. The tag tells LJT 1D which means single drive axle. Looks like someone added a tag axle (or pusher?) to it.

BillyT Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 Heard you could make a Detroit leaker stop leaking with the proper seals on the pushrod tubes! Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/47588-ljt/#findComment-351306 Share on other sites More sharing options...

tjc transport Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 you can also make a green leaker stop leaking by draining all the oil out of them.

The fix is Viton Hi silicon/teflon seals and gaskets. That fixes the heat affects on the conventional seals. Tech comes from the Apollo program and on a D.D. pre 80's H.D. or Corvair will seal them up where you'll get rust on the tin work. 1 Quote "OPERTUNITY IS MISSED BY MOST PEOPLE BECAUSE IT IS DRESSED IN OVERALLS AND LOOKS LIKE WORK" Thomas Edison “Life’s journey is not to arrive at the grave safely, in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting ‘Holy shit, what a ride!’” P.T.CHESHIRE Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/47588-ljt/#findComment-351314 Share on other sites More sharing options...
