    9N will not start

    Understand that the battery is new. However, may I suggest that the battery be "load tested", by your friendly parts store or auto shop. It may measure 6.5 volts forever, but what does it do under a load? I formerly handled batteries as a employee of whlse tire distributor. Just my thought.

    OT - Willys Jeep

    a vendor of fleabay, www.surplusjeep.com has manuals listed for sale. As I recall the distributor is so robust it is not readily apparent, but the plug wires do lead to it.

    OT-Mosin

    In regards to the possible interchangeability of ammo: US mortar 81mm - Russian 82mm US Machine Gun Cal .50 - Chicom .52 I feel sure that the US made 81mm mortar rounds would function in the Russian 82mm tube. Whether or not our 50cal rounds would work in the Chi-com 52 I don't know.

    Oil change questions

    I use a 1 1/16" socket now. That way I don't round off the edges of the plug, as I did with a pipe wrench.

    genny update '47 8N

    Had one rebuilt here in East Texas with 1 yr warranty for $75.00. On the web is a place in California. you send it to them and they guaranteed a return in about 10 days I believe for about the same money I payed, plus the out bound freight.

    8n oil change

    Plug Removal. Suggest you purchase a 1 1/16" socket. So no damaged threads. Easier to hold onto than a pipe wrench,does not round off the edges, and it works to remove the Hydraulic fluid also.

    8N drain plug

    Bus Driver, Don't have a part #, I could not find my receipt for the 1 1/16" socket from Northern Tool, and I know they only show sets in the catalog. The Northern Tool I shop at is just at the beginning of my neighborhood, so I just ran in and picked it up.
