Crawled under it and saw more oil on the drum that I just replaced the seal on. I hope to get a chance to pull it tonight and see what happened. I'm not very happy about this....
So what did you do with your truck today?
- Thread starter GOOSE
- Start date
Pulled it apart today. I was hoping to just RTV it and put it back but the scotseal pulled itself apart so I didn't dare re-use it.
Procrastination actually paid off on this one. I didn't have a chance to change the other side (which isn't leaking yet) so I had another seal to put in. I smeared a little RTV on the surfaces that seal against the housing and popped it back together. Sprayed the brakes down real good because I have to use the truck tomorrow and don't have time to replace the pads... again. At least this will let me not ruin another set of pads hoping it sealed.

Finished gutting out old cab so I have some trim an interior parts in the marketplace if anybody needs some.
My buddy made a jig to use our engine hoist to put new cab on when its finished. Pretty awesome contraption if you ask me hahaha.
Next will start gutting the new cab and get it ready for primer and clean all the parts up to reinstall.

Finally got around to installing my Facet Dure-Lift pump. The truck starts a bit better and runs just fine at WOT with the Facet 40285. Although I now have quite a few electrical connections that could fail I am so happy to not have to deal with installing that PITA innermost bolt on the mechanical lift pump--the bolt you have to thread blindly while not disturbing the gasket--I hate that bolt!! To anyone considering the upgrade I would go for it. I can see that swapping a new pump in the event of failure will be a piece of cake now.
Took my buddies zero turn back home after a new head gasket, pushrod, valve adjustment, carb cleaning, choke adjustment, air/oil/filter change, mower belt change, blade sharpening.... and the all important trailer hitch install.
Thanks to @tjsea for the coaching and advice.
Don’t buy a bad boy mower. What a POS it’s been. At 2 seasons, I rebuilt the under side of it because the drive units were falling off..... literally. About a half season after that all this happened, probably due to overheating because it packed itself full of crap and ran hot. Apparently these are maintenance heavy. It mows like a beast though when it’s running.

I spent the weekend working on fuel tank maintenance. The shower heads are out and fuel line with brass tees in. Tanks cleaned up and vents cleaned out. One was packed full of dirt. In its younger days this truck had a very dirty life. I will also be running the return to the rear, supply from front only and the rear draining into the front. ( The Towcat version of the Mulochico mod). No more FSV! [emoji2]
The dirty rear tank.
Broken shower head and parts.
Shower head replacement
Cleaned up and ready to go back in
Now the front...

That ought to cut some grass.

Well I helped put a motor in my Nephews 56 ford coupe and loaded up all the tools I lent him and hauled them home. Truck ran great just set the cruise control on 65 and lol because truck just bounces around 5mph up hill and down hill. I love this old service truck.
Finally got fed up with the bubbling paint along my rocker panels on ernest. I took the rust stripper to it and found most of it to just be surface peel rusting around the peeling thank goodness. I did have two tiny holes by the front fenders and one on a door. Destroyed as much as I could and put some body filler in them and sanded over it. Shot it with primer and used rustoleom sand color which is almost an exact match for the light paint on my truck. If you look at my drivers side front door you'll see a rectangle I painted earlier over a spot that had no paint. As long as you dont paint a giant rectangle like that right against the other paint with no side moulding or accent tape to hide it like I did tonight with the rocker panels it works wonders!
Pictures of course out of order. The primer is not the final result lol..

Great product for those pinholes is POR Patch. I keep a tube in the garage fridge to keep it the consistency of toothpaste.
