Lot's of "maybe's" and "might be's" on this little devil, huh? Anyway, upon further studying of the "box" (probably the pump) below the injector pump, I do see a few more lines coming out of it. One goes down the left (looking foreward) frame rail and somewhere into the transmission (rear ends?), and it looks like one crosses below the radiator to the right side and dissapears into the muck in the bellypan.... It's pretty grubby down in there, and it's definately not in optimal conditions to steam clean it at the moment, so it's hard to get a defenate where the lines go. I'm trying to walk her to the barn to pull the motor and give her a fresh bottom end, but she's fighting it all the way. (most recent problem, she ran herself outta fuel walking down a steep grade heading towards the barn....) I was in the bottom end about a week ago to put rod bearings in her, but after checking the crank I decided she needs turned down .010. She was sitting on a mountian top for that project, but since then winter has dug in, and a barn in the valley soundes like the best place to pull the engine, so I put std. bearings (new) back in to get her outta the weather. She's pretty noisy in the bottom end right now, so I'm creeping here there at an idle. I'm about 500 yds from the barn, so I'm going over there today and try to walk her the rest of the way. Any idea's on the weight of the engine? I've got an old Case with a loader bucket I'm going to try to use to pull the engine, but it ain't the biggest Case around, so I guess I'll see what happens. If not it's fab a trolly system on a beam to get her out. (ain't like the ol pick up that ya raise the engine and roll the truck back, is it?)
Anyway, I'll trace the hoses down here shortly, but before she's up again I'll need to know what to put in the little oil tank.
