You're welcome

No, I have not. It's been put on a back burner. Other things have become a priority over this particular project.

It most certainly is worth it. Especially if you already need new front brakes. The cost of the parts for the dually hardware, isn't much more than the regular parts.

Been doing it for over 20 years. Never had an issue with it yet.

Absolutely. Especially when you're loaded heavy.

At least back then, the different iterations meant upgrades. Not so true anymore. Yes, I've had too many close calls with people panic stopping, because they're going to miss their turn. Nobody pays attention anymore. Happy New Year Cody!

I ended up a similar situation as you. I called Sam Winer Motors of Akron, OH and they were kind enough to send me some pictures of the parts book & gave me some specs for the winch. My email is in the about section of my channel. Send me an email & I'll forward what I have to you. I'd be interested in the model of the Char-lynn pump yours has & how the motor was mounted to the winch.

It definitely looks the part. The biggest issue I have with it, is the fact that it's 37" tall. That's a bit of a hindrance for certain applications. I need to sort out some things first.

Yeah, they definitely did some goofy things when they transitioned. I'm looking forward to being able to weld with it. It's going to be an interesting project!

I'm definitely leaning towards it. I'm going to have to sort out some other things first.

​@@WesleyJohnsonMI, I agree with Zane. I like the looks of a chopped SA200. Just peck away at the projects as you have time. Appreciate you recording it, and sharing with us! Merry Christmas! You as well Zane!😊

@haroldphipps3457 thanks, I appreciate the support! Chopped SA200s just look more streamlined to me. We'll see what happens in the next couple of months. Work & weather permitting. Merry Christmas to you too!

I'll find out soon enough!

Check the cleanliness of both the positive & negative connections. Oxidation and rust build up can & will cause issues that can mimic a bad solenoid. I don't recall off hand how the starter is grounded. Whether it's by a cable/strap or if it uses the mounting face to ground it. I would start with that first & if that doesn't fix it, it's time to dig deeper.

Where cai i find a original gas tank for a weld power 225?

@brianmorse9655 ebay would be your best bet. You could also look for one for the engine itself. You might have to retrofit a generic plastic/steel one to it. Or just build one.

It's quite possible. But welding machines/generators have been known to lose their residual magnetism, especially when they sit for long periods of time unused. This particular machine did this 18 years ago when I first bought it, fixed itself & ran/operated fine. Then it started doing it again occasionally 4 years ago. It's a backup machine, I'm not that worried about it.

I don't understand what you're trying to convey.

Bad grounds and/or a short. There's 2 grounds that attach to the thermostat housing. One is for the cluster, the other is for the speedometer. Clean all of your connections on the under hood power distribution block. Also, there should be a 10/8 gauge that goes to your starter solenoid. Make sure that connection is clean and that it hasn't melted to the manifold. Pretty much clean up every power & ground connection that you can find under hood. Fix anything that looks questionable. It's 31 years old and the electrical was just above marginal for these trucks, when they were new.

It most certainly is! Especially older and more obscure things.

I try too. It's hard finding information on old equipment. This is why I started my channel.

Give me a couple of days & I'll post a picture under the community tab. There should should be an arm next to the points cover, it has a multitude of holes drilled in it. That should be the governor arm. No two machines are the same. You might have to adjust the vertical threaded rod to fine tune it.

@@WesleyJohnsonMI my engine is on a welder with a Briggs # 326437 type 0758-01 and code 8512121. Jacks small engines has the diagram. If you look at part # 690545 this is the spring in question. It slides over the throttle linkage rod #691791 but where does it hook to ? Even the Briggs people didn't have an answer, LOL. It seems to run ok without it but surely it serves some purpose. Thanks for your reply.

Thanks!

Which gear are you referring to?

Glad to hear that some of the factory wiring is the same between the two different mirrors. I definitely like the temperature and compass combo. It's also great that we can add some factory options to these trucks, that didn't come with them. Good luck on your next project!

There's no adapter or an easy way to swap these gauges around. He will have to cut off his pigtail & wire in the appropriate pigtail for the moon gauges.

Only if you get the wiring pigtail from the '92 harness & DRAC module. You'll then have to splice it into the '91 harness. It's not a fast & easy process.

The same principle applies to the '91 tach dash, just like the '92-'94. The diesel trucks use a pick up on the alternator. I'm sure that if you spent some time studying the wiring diagram, you could figure out the proper way to pin it. You can actually get the GM wiring schematic books on eBay fairly reasonably priced.

For small adjustments, either up or down, you shouldn't have to. I do recommend raising the front wheels off of the ground though. Just measure the bolt protrusion of each side & adjust evenly. The adjustment bolts are lock tite in the nut.

Yup, just about got the chassis back together. It'll be on to manifolds and and wiring before too long!

There is a part 1 for the hydro max brakes, go to my channel & look for the 1979 F600 4x4 playlist. It should be in there, with part numbers.

This has been an intermittent issue for the 18 years that I have owned and used this machine. It's never really bothered me, so I just deal with it. Thanks for the info though!

It is a hassle, but I was already tearing apart the front end. Might as well fix it while I'm in there. All depends upon what straight axle you're referring to. The dodge CAD axles are a pain themselves. It's just a matter of picking your poison. Thanks Cody, I appreciate it!

Late style moonie gauges. They are definitely easier to read than the early style moonie gauges.

@@WesleyJohnsonMI I love my gauges except my fuel gauge is a little funky 😂

@fluffy_snipez979 how so? Does it bounce or does it read off?

@@WesleyJohnsonMI it doesn't read accurately. It constantly moves. It tells me relatively how much I have but it isn't accurately at all

@@fluffy_snipez979 have you cleaned the ground wire on top of the frame, near the filler neck? Also, check out the grounds at/near the thermostat housing. They are known for causing some goofy things to happen with the cluster gauges.

It is! I'm trying my best to give this old truck all the best factory options from throughout the production run. Thanks for stopping by!

It certainly is!

The 92-94 cluster pigtail has 'fingers' on the plug. The early style dashes will work in the later years, but you will have to cut out the opening for the plug some. Just take your time doing it. If you search GMT400 dash swap or other similar phrases, you should be able to find some pictures of it. There's an individual in one of the forums, who did exactly what you're looking to do.

@@WesleyJohnsonMI@ amigo! If truck its already swapped! 89 gmc, Can i ignore the drac? If using 94 cluster!? Just by running the tach and soeed wire to ls pcm? Correct?

Yup, 4 different Borg Warner cases, with a couple of different configurations for the K3500 trucks & NP241C & NP208c transfer cases for the K1500 & K2500 trucks. Not just longer either, the whole case is considerably larger. The Borg Warner case just dwarfs the New Process case.

They should bolt up to the TH400, with the proper transfer case adapter. The TH400 & 4L80E share the same output shaft size. The TH350 shares the same (smaller) output shaft size as the 700r4 & 4L60E and will not work with the Borg Warner transfer case. Remember, the Borg Warner cases need a switched power for the clutch pack.

Thanks! I'm still constantly learning new things about this era of trucks. Yeah, the size difference is kinda mind blowing! Gotta work so I can keep putting money into my projects!

👍

Yeah, they stopped using cables with the square bodies. Check the grounds near the thermostat housing and the plug behind the ashtray. I have a video titled 'fixing a bouncing speedometer' in one of my playlists. It'll either be in the 1992 K1500 or the GMT400 playlist. Be sure to read the comments, I've helped a couple of others out with their problems.

I still own it. It's sitting out back waiting on time, money & ambition. There's a whole playlist on my channel dedicated to this truck.

I've seen (and bought) machines in a lot worse shape. But the key thing is, that it was maintained. They even went as far as turning the pins & bushings in it. I do too. Those old machines definitely beat you up through out the day. Most operators won't even run a machine if it doesn't have a cab with heat & a/c.

It's very much both! He's excited to get it running & put back in service. Thanks!

Thanks! Outage season has kept me busy. Not too concerned about the undercarriage right now. It's not going to be used much. I do have some old Caterpillar literature about refurbishing undercarriage with weld build up. But that's down the road. I'm glad that it got saved too. The machine is actually in pretty good shape considering what it's been through. The new owner is definitely excited about it.

They've got a bunch of good songs. I'm glad that I found them.

Never tried it, most people want a factory tach dash. The biggest problem is going to be the drac/vssb. The moonie gauges are built in internally to the cluster, where the '92-'94 are external.

If memory serves me correctly, it's around 150 gallons.

@@WesleyJohnsonMI Thats more than I thought. I'm about to bring one home any time now that has sat for 8 years and had no oil when I bought it. Changed a couple of hoses, put a cylinder back together and fixed a few other things. It's about ready to fire up and try out before getting it on a truck.

@@be2570w gotcha. Yeah, the H875 has quite the reservoir. The H560 will obviously be smaller. There are 3 magnetic pickup screens on the passenger side, in a tank just below the pumps. There's a plate that unbolts from the bottom. I'd clean that out before filling the system. Does yours have a 4-71 detroit or a cummins in it?

@@WesleyJohnsonMIThanks. I'll look for the plate. It has a 4-71

Bought mine off of Amazon. Do a Google search for Kohler CH20 fuel pump. Should be able to get a part number that way.
