I am building a diesel puller right now and was wondering how to make the kill switch for the rear of the machine. i think a guillotine shut off would work best but i am unsure how to make it any pics you guys have would be great.

I use a trailer brake break away switch hooked in line with my fuel shut off solenoid

i dont have a fuel pump it is gravity feed from the tank to the injection pump.

Adapt one of these to front of your turbo inlet. Spring load it. Run a choke cable with a ring pull on it from the rear up to it and run it thru the hole.

If you ever put an electric pump on you will have to add a power disconnect to the same ring. You will eventually need an electric pump that pushes 40psi when you make power so be prepared. Last thing you want to do is stick a plunger. Put an easy to get to shut-off valve on the fuel line as close to the injection pump as you can also.

true pulling tractors are totaly cool. when i was in the army we would spike diesel fuel with gasoline in a 5 ton wrecker. we would blow the 2 1/2 tons in the weeds . also we cranked the tire pressure up to 100-110. my o my i beleave i remember that far back.
