OT'S 47-51 ??? Rebuild ??

[oldsledz]

In mine,  the gas pedal hooks to a piece of solid wire that goes in a steel tube -- maybe 3/8" in diameter and it goes all the way to the engine.  The choke cable also runs inside this tube.  Look back on some of the pics here on site  and I think you will see it.

   Gror are you using a stock alternator on your machine ?? I think I am going to have a clearance problem with mine. I can mount it in place but there's only about 1" for adjustment.
   When looking at my motor from the rear of the machine it is about 1" to the right of center.

Yes ,Im using a delco so I didnt need the external regulator

[gror]

I just sent you a bunch of pics to your email address, hope they help.Just email me with any questions.

[the old trucker]

  Thanks Gror. In one pic, I see you don't have much clearance from the alt. & the side panel. Looks about same as mine. I think I will have to get a new bracket fabricated. Is your bracket stock ?? Do you have enough room to adjust the belt ??
                                                  OT. 

[gror]

I just shortend the bracket and redrilled the mount hole on the moter side, and there is lots of room for adjustment.

  I'll get a pic of my bracket now in a minute. I think it's cast & it sticks out alot. Be right back.

  Here we go. Gror I guess my bracket is different than yours. My engine is from a 1984. I forgot, the alt. is a delco.

   I think I may have found a rad, but I need help from my fellow members. This rad is from a military power wagon. He thinks the core is 20" wide & 20-21" high with the mounting brackets on the sides.
   Oldsledz you have a power wagon. Could you have a look to see for me ?? Anybody know if this is possible ??

   Thanks kpm. I was talking to a fellow today that has a power wagon. He measured his rad for me. He says the core is 21" wide, plus the mounting brackets, 19" high, plus the height of the tanks, & 5" thick. He said his truck has the same rad & engine that was used in those big industrial welders that ran steady for hours on end.
   Here are a few pics of what we have been at the last couple of days. Thanks Cranman for that "bell crank tip". As you can see all we had to supply were a couple of washers, clips & we made a couple of Teflon bushings. The bell crank & rod were already there.

  In the last pic you'll see that I have to cut off this bracket, flip it to the other side & it should work.

   Here's a few more including the exhaust.
