    Model U

    I just bought a U, I was told it was running then parked then the owner passed away. I was doing some maintenance on it prior to trying to start it. I pulled the plugs and discovered there were two different plug sizes. 2 cylinders have a Chanmpion D9 (18mm width), and the other 2 cylinders had...

    4500- 1969 model Fordgenerator/regulator identification help

    I think I found a regulator.. Will get that ordered tonight.. Appreciate the info. Just need to control the generator since it is definitely charging too high a voltage at over 16 volts!! Thanks again.

    4500- 1969 model Fordgenerator/regulator identification help

    Well, the generator is working great after getting new brushes and springs installed. The problem now is NO regulation of voltage output. Generator: Lucas 22756H 37 72 C40T 12V Nothing identifying if it is 11amp or 22amp. I assume 22 since it is installed on a 1969 4500 that...

    4500 generator- How to flash it properly.

    Got the generator flashed.. Works GREAT finally. Found one "loose" connection that just needed squeezing. Also got my fuel gauge working and the generator light definitely goes out now!! I have a red light "button" above the ignition switch on the tank cover. Not mentioned in the manuals...

    4500 generator- How to flash it properly.

    Thanks for the reply. The manual also shows jumping between the two terminals on the back of the generator (regulator wires diconnected) and then running the engine to confirm generator is working. If generator is working with the regulator disconnected but not hooked up, can I assume the...

    4500 generator- How to flash it properly.

    Just had the generator rebuilt on a 1969 Ford 4500. One brush was gone. Reinstalled generator and I have tracked down all the wiring to make sure it went where it is supposed to go (at least according to the drawings and pictures in the manual).. I understand you should "flash" the generator...

    4500- Radiator cap pressure and cooling quantity

    Thanks. I did manage to find a leak near the top of the radiator. Looks like some stop leak took care of the problem. Not sure what the DCA additive is but will look into it when I get ready to change it out.

    4500- water in transmission- how to clean system?

    I know this one set outside, at least for the past year. Boot seal isn't that great. I do plan to rework that seal and also keep it under some type of cover. Appreciate the feedback. I'm new to this 4500 as I just purchased it a few days ago. Got a steep learning curve to climb. Learning...

    4500- water in transmission- how to clean system?

    I've never heard of fuel drier going into a transmission? It does have the external screw on filter. Will see if I can find one with the absorbing element.. Another one I've never heard of before today!! Ah, the fun of owning something new that i know nothing about, yet!@!

    4500- water in transmission- how to clean system?

    Thanks Rick. I'm going to have to be replacing several of the hyd. lines in the near future. Working up a list of fittings and lines. Thinking about getting a crimper/hose/fittings and making my own instead of continuing to travel to have them made up. I do have the tank under the radiator...

    4500- Radiator cap pressure and cooling quantity

    Can someone confirm 7# cap for radiator is correct or not? Also, what is the cooling capacity for the system? This radiator has trans cooling tubes installed if it makes any difference.

    4500- water in transmission- how to clean system?

    I forgot to ask two more questions. What is the pressure cap on the radiator rated for: mine says 7#. Is this correct? What is the capacity of the radiator/cooling system? I need to add some stop leak and it states 1/2 bottle in less than a 9 qt. system.. While I'm asking, what are the...
