1998 Tradewinds, Diesel Pusher Motohome
Handy Don replied to Pullstart's topic in non tractor related discussion
It is more than a buddy who’s willing to take a 2,000 mile road trip to keep you company and help pilot. So down to a school bus that still needs converting!? -
If you made the diaphragm taut across the body of the pump when you “recut” the holes, they you made it impossible for the mechanism to move the diaphragm up and down to pump fuel. Worse, if the mechanism pushes hard enough against the stretched diapharagm, it causes the rubber to split and gas flows into the oil sump. The holes were likely correct. Some aftermarket diaphragm’s stems are not cut precisely and do require minor adjustments. Correct install: FIRST, plate sand the faces of the body halves to be sure they are flat (the pump body flanges are fairly soft and can be warped by excessive tightening of the closure screws). Connect the diaphragm stem. Put the screws through the upper body, gently forcing the diaphragm onto the screws. Operate the actuator to its limit in one direction or the other to fully pull the diaphragm to its maximum travel. While keeping the actuator pulled, align the screws with the holes in the lower body and gradually tighten the screws sequentially across the body. The diaphragm edges will “scrunch” to make a good seal. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN

My uncle hit a deer Saturday night. My evening was spent trying to put his car back into something resembling it's original shape. I didn't take before or after pics, but for it showing up looking like the Crash Dummy car and not installing any new parts I think it looked pretty good when I was done.

You should be able to find one no problem. Here’s a good one that’s my go to. https://www.amazon.com/Stens-520-570-Replaces-Ariens-23545-S/dp/B00ISW9J5E/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1BTP3SY9E9Q94&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.JxbtWebtA4TR7o9P8ug_51PekWkzAF4_IEQ79PHssZrQMiu-IH5bBxHXKpbf5oXIDUIYWSHR2gC_43A31C8d7VmjN1vW2Zghgw7C7Jcf2yi4Nb94MjhkuQhlYjuP7Fh0PuBenzvty-RQiH-GjIcCFLIt1SlvYt7U5TE9u-FZ3Y8ze0sWq_ZJFl2ym8KHUdK1K0fUxCeKcsKtR87iMEhvFyPfwanxTx3Gdzm_x3_TJlY.WJ4gxgHleXzAG5fLa6XJd-vF4ESbViKk9qZUEUJ5w7U&dib_tag=se&keywords=Stens+Kohler+k301+fuel+pump&qid=1783380946&sprefix=stens+kohler+k301+fuel+pump%2Caps%2C161&sr=8-1

My buddy Aaron is helping pilot. We have sold the 5th wheel and are cruising home empty. Woo hoo! -

I drove a class a motor home with a 6.2 diesel to a Buffalo Bills game full of friends once. On the way home one of my buddies said he would buy me a beer if I managed to pass one car on the Thruway. I found an old lady in a Chevette! -
Install an electric fuel pump.

Yes!

I have no gas being pumped by my Kohler K 103 fuel pump. I replaced the diaphragm, the holes in the new one didn't line up so I had to recut them and I had to also modify the stem. The new diaphragm did not resolve my issue and plus now it leaks gas. I cannot find an exact replacement one. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

All this RV talk takes me back to the 80's when I worked at an RV dealer. The way they were built back then, you didn't want to tow anything bigger than a little TSC trailer with a Lawn Ranger on it. We had a certified welder in plenty of times to reinforce hitches and frames. Power wise, Winnebago had a Renault 4 popper diesel connected to a 5 speed manual putting out a whopping 43 HP. Then they added a Turbo and upped it to like 75. Old ladies in Chevettes would blow your doors off at stoplights! Turbo engines also liked to come apart at the seams. Had one where a piston came out of the block and hit the starter. The starter was bolted to the transmission bell housing so it snapped that in half! -
@TonyToro Jr. Excellent combo, 1257 is my favorite (as I have one), and that grader blade looks meant for it .

Awesomeness. Gonna put it to work now?

Thank you so very much. You seem to be very knowledgeable so I'm going to ask you another question. So I know YouTube isn't always my friend. However, I was watching a video the other day and they removed and left off The inside dust cover from the bearings so that when grease was pumped into the fitting it could enter the bearings. Do you think this is a good idea or is it just some kind of disaster waiting to happen. My opinion is they're sealed bearings so there's no need to grease them. It would never get to them unless you do what this gentleman said? Anyway, I would love to hear your two cents. So I haven't started the process yet.

The thing in your 2nd post is a land plow. It is a 2 bottom and is the fancy one instead of hooking to to 3 point hitch to lift this one is hydraulic. It can go on any tractor with remote hydraulics anything more then 30hp.
-
I know it's not the proper one for my wheel horse but the stamping is the same the pressed metal.

The search is now over! I have finally found a 42” mid mount grader blade for my 1257 after searching for about 8 months.

thanks......

After the domestic market ended using the common tractor model names like Charger, Commando and Raider in 1972 they continued to use the names for the export market for a few years. Same tractor different model name. Use the 1-0120 model number. https://www.wheelhorseforum.com/search/?q=1-0120&quick=1&type=downloads_file -
