I can't believe this thread has almost died. Let's see if we can revive it a little. Here is the latest things I have been tinkering on. Trailer is finished now and is 20' long on the flat part of the deck. The truck is a 7.3 idi non turbo with a 5 speed. I did some work in exchange for the...

Nice trailer! I’m case you don’t know, that is a Converto airborne dump trailer. It is a WWII trailer and they bring good money as they are much rarer than the regular 1/4 tin Jeep trailers.

7/16” thick top plate. I’m not short by a lot but I figure by the time I add a push plate I’m gonna be too short.

So I have saved up parts for awhile to build a splitter and I have been thinking of getting more serious about doing it. My first problem is that my beam is just a little too short. I want a push plate on the cylinder and wedge on the beam. But my beam is about short the length of the wedge...

Nice mule!!!

Awful nice looking yard. You do any weed and feed or spray any 2-4-d?

That is an awesome little machine. Is it built out of a Ditch Witch?

It does have this odd sounding chirp at idle. I don't know if I just never noticed it before and I am paying more attention to it because of the past idle problem or not. But it's kind of a whistle chirp sound and only at idle. Is that normal and I'm just listening too close to it or does...

I ended up needing a fuel line and pickup assembly. Runs great now.

Thanks Tree Monkey.

Where is the impulse hose?

I need to get a real vacuum test kit. I pressurized the case but didn't have a gauge or the ability to leave it pressurized for more than a several seconds. I used a valve stem and held it over the spark plug hole.

I did notice a bit of exhaust leak around muffler when I pulled it. Just thought about that. Could that be my culprit?

So my 361 has a high idle problem. I have pulled covers off and see no obvious leaks. Spraying starting fluid around crankcase stalls it out BUT I can't tell if it is being pulled into air cleaner. Could totally be the case. I also tried to pressurize the crankcase with a low air pressure by...

Look at the second piece of wood from the left side. Clearly there is two seperate rows of limbs around the trunk. That's why I voted white pine.

Is that an old NCFS dozer? We had to replace an idler once on one of the old Fiats and it came out of South America I believe.

Maybe White Pine.

Do you have any pics of the transmissions mated together or the engine to transmission mounting? I have a similar project on my mind and am interested in how to achieve those two aspects.

Interesting. Tell us more about the running gear. Looks like VW front. Does it have a transmission? I thought I saw a tag on the back, how does it run down the road?

Nice trailer. Is yours the offroad or onroad version?
