    Check the throttle cable on the pump panel. Black knob lower left. Turning it to the right increases rpm. If you push the knob in it goes back to an idle

      I think i will find out tomorrow. Because i suspect the sticking throttle was a rack problem so i’ll need to go under the valve cover to solve the issue.

    I’m just taking a guess here but I don’t think that truck has pumped in a long time. Make sure you check the gear boxes and put some oil in the pump before trying to put it in pump maybe a quart. Put in were that side intake is. The large one that needs a cap. But before you do look around and make sure you close the main pump drain and all the gates. You can use waste oil it won’t be there long if you get to put water trough it. Also the screen on that intake does come out but mite be stuck from rust. If it breaks you don’t need it unless you plan on drafting water from a pond. They are also readily available if need be but if carful you should get it out if you choose to do so. And bye the way I don’t think that truck can pump and drive so the truck needs to be parked to pump water. If the tank doesn’t leak gravity feeding pipe may work. If not up in the hose bed there should be an access to the water tank the you can put an electric pump in. Have fun and good luck.

    1:49 having only read about screamin Jimmies online, is the one you can't stall because of the governor type? I remember seeing something about the different governors available. Man I'd love to have a 4-53 or 6v53 to mess around with.

    4 and 5 are flipped because of the pto and they are overdrive gears

  • @Astinsan
    @Astinsan 42 минуты назад

    the gears are flipped because it's probably a separate gearbox and 1st gear is at the bottom..

  • @aussiebloke609
    @aussiebloke609 4 часа назад

    Is it able to pump water while you're moving down the driveway? Most PTO-driven fire pumps I've seen require you either send power to the rear drive, or to the PTO - but not both at the same time. Might be easier - and more reliable - to have a spray bar attached to the rear bumper and give it a simple gravity feed.

    • @BusGreaseMonkey
      @BusGreaseMonkey  4 часа назад +1

      Gravity feed is the plan but i was hoping the pump would run and i could roll down the drive also gravity powered ;) Either way it will work. But for fire safety around here the pump working would be nice

    I'm surprised you had her shifting so soon? Aren't they meant to rev out to the governor in every gear? 😂 Edit 9:28 nvm, I guess that was only going downhill.

    can someone explain the Pump Gear ?

    • @72polara
      @72polara 3 часа назад +1

      That is the gear the transmission must be in when pumping water. With this pumper, the PTO routes the power form the transmission to either the axle or to the pump. This is why the discussion above about pumping while driving, it can't be done with this design.
