    Thread tape, thread sealant, or ????

    I used 1,000s of Swagelok fittings over an 11 year stint st STELCO, never ever had one fail. Their telfon tape was about 5x thicker than the stuff you see today.

    Possible Fuel Jelling Problem

    As others have pointed out the top two reasons will be 1) semi floater in the tank 2) plugged fuel cap Unlikely to be 'snow in the air filter'. It's up 'high,dry and warm', and the cooling fan blows air at hot engine not up into air intake. Easy test. unscrew the fuel cap a bit, drive...

    Mid-PTO drive gear bearing self destructed

    this seems to be your MidPTO,did you remove #150,and it's 2 'support' bearings #160s ? If so , that doesn't explain HOW everything else won't work. Perhaps you 'relocates' the shift lever linkages somehow ?? Hmm, #100 is called a pipe,knock(?) did you put it back in ?

    Alternator Dissassembly, Bearings - L3940

    I've been here 4-5 times, and convinced toy need to remove the slip rings 'somehow' to then slide the bearing off. Also have to unsolder the wires to the sliprings. Have no idea IF the WSM explains that has to be done.
