youngden,
that is the most MESSED UP thing ive ever seen. where can i buy one?! lol whats moving it? slat six, or a ford 300? did you correct it so it has more forward gears (now driving in reverse), or do you have one speed only going forward? whats the axle from??
very cool. ive always thought tugs were really cool.. maybe ill own one some day...
DON,
my generator's engine came from a forklift. its a flathead 4 continental using a brand new impco lpg system. i once drained the block (the regulator is teh LOWEST point in teh system), when i refilled it aparently i didnt get the regulator primed up. started and ran it, all the sudden my eyes burned and then motor shut down.. looked at the regulator, it was a block of ice.. boiled soem water and thawed it. i had to take off a hose and pour water in to prime it..
my eventual solution was this: on the bottom of the regulator i installed a T fitting, one side going to the coolant hose, the other side going to a ball valve and then to a garden hose bib. when i drain the block now, all i do is hook up the hose and open the valve until water comes out the radiator. works fine and havent had a problem since. perhaps youc an run watre from your hot water heater through a hose and do the same thing on cold days... just an idea.
