Ed's 77 Terex 72-41 Wheel Loader

Thanks. I’m looking at replacing it with a low hours turbo engine.

I got this engine.

I can finally see where the block heater goes, behind the fuel pump. I will install it before the engine goes into the loader. All it has now is a cover plate.

Engine sounds good .

 

[mountainguyed67]

Yeah, sounded great in person. No smoke either.

Engine sounds great, like a four banger jimmy should!

One thing I want to let you know, just in case you aren't aware of it is that the fitting in the head that the fuel return line connects to, an inverted flare fitting, is a special restricted fitting. It has an orifice drilled in it so that the charge pump on the rear of the blower can develop some pressure, 20-30 psi if I remember correctly, to the injectors. If you replace it with an unrestricted fitting, the engine won't develop much power.
Just an FYI.

Thanks.

I’ll keep that in mind.

Working on plumbing up the third valve, I took this all the way off because I couldn’t get the hose off the tubing. I’m not sure what I’m working with here. Maybe it’s just tight, but I didn’t want to risk breaking it. I can hold it better with it off, to keep from twisting the tubing in half. I’m thinking it’s an Aeroquip field repair type fitting, but I haven’t worked with them. Should the tubing just unscrew from it? I need a different length hose to go to the diverter valve.

I got the spreader bar set up, then took it off and put the valve cover back on.

Replaced it with this.

You can see it here, and I now have the measurements for the last two hoses.
