Can you get the collar slid back? Get a small screwdriver and pop the retaining ring out of the end, and the collar will slide forward and off. Your balls will fall out, so don't step on them...wait...the bearings will fall out. Then maybe you can get a pipe wrench or socket on it.

Is that the machine that uses a Briggs flywheel and mag coil for ignition, and the belt goes through a cutout in the flange of the Faip pump?

No, it's trapped pressure...it's got an outlet piston...

If you've made sure ALL downstream leaks are fixed, then check this... Back the knob off enough to move the spring up a bit. Put a wrench on the flats below the spring and take it out. Ther should be o rings on the piston at the end of the stem. If there aren't or if they're torn, a couple of quick coupler o rings will fit. Can't recall ATM whether the 1/4 or 3/8 fit, but one of them does. Grease it up and put it back in.

You know what they say about guys with big feet, don't you?... Big shoes.....:D

Take the outlet fitting off and check to see that the piston inside moves freely, and that the o ring is intact. Either will cause your unloader to act as a regulator.

Heck, if I were close enough, I'd give you that for the pump and engine and trash the rest...

Rebuilding the back end can be time consuming, but can be done. I'm not sure what the Cat crankcase costs, but it ain't cheap. I'll call and get a price tomorrow, and let you know. Here's the service manual... http://www.catpumps.com/select/pdfs/CPSvc.pdf Here's the parts... http://www.catpumps.com/select/pdfs/5CP3120.pdf

Is that a forced air gas burner as opposed to a natural draft type? If so, the plate to mount the oil burner may already be in place

What do you mean? Running out of fuel? Cutting off before desired temperature is reached? Falling apart? John, do you have a parts breakdown on your units?

John, you'd have to go to the heater manufacturer and get the proper head to mount an oil burner on. Then you'd need oil burners, fuel lines, a tank, and wiring for either 120 or 12 volts. Do you know who made the heaters? Call me if you like, I can get most of what you need.

Nah...I'm here to help...anytime.

Boy, I'll bet he's going to be surprised...:D

Butyl cleaners are good for burn residue...I used to clean the glass in my Buckstove with it. Either that, or Windex and a raxor blade. The butyl made the crusty black film rinse right off. Look for cleaners (Purple Power, Krud Kutter, Greased Lightnin', etc.) with any of these chemical names listed in the ingredients panel: Synonyms: .beta.-Butoxyethanol, 111-76-2, 2-Butossi-etanolo, 2-Butoxy-1-ethanolButossi-etanolo [italian], 2-, 2-Butoxy-aethanol, 2-Butoxy-aethanol [German], 2-Butoxyethanol, 2-Butoxyethanol (ethylene glycol monobutyl ether), 3-Oxa-1-heptanol, 4-01-00-02380 (Beilstein Handbook Reference), 52663-57-7, AI3-09903, AI3-0993, BRN 1732511, BuCs, Butoksyetylowy alkohol, Butoksyetylowy alkohol [Polish], Butoxyethanol, Butoxyethanol, 2-, Butyglycol (FRENCH, GERMAN), Butyl cellosolve, Butyl cellu-sol, Butyl glycol, Butyl Oxitol, Butylcelosolv [Czech], Butylglycol [French,German], Caswell No. 121, CCRIS 5985, Chimec NR, Dowanol EB, EGBE, EGMBE, EINECS 203-905-0, Ektasolve EB, EPA Pesticide Chemical Code 011501, Eter monobutilico del etilenglicol [spanish], Ethanol, 2-butoxy-, Ether monobutylique de l'ethyleneglycol [French], Ethylene glycol butyl ether, Ethylene glycol mono-n-butyl ether, Ethylene glycol monobutyl ether, Ethylene glycol monobutyl ether [uN2369] [Keep away from food], Ethylene glycol n-butyl ether, Ethylene glycol, monobutyl ether, Gafcol EB, Glycol butyl ether, Glycol ether EB, Glycol monobutyl ether, HSDB 538, Jeffersol EB, LS-539, Monobutyl ether of ethylene glycol, Monobutyl ethylene glycol ether, Monobutyl glycol ether, n-Butoxyethanol, NSC 60759, NSC60759, O-Butyl ethylene glycol, Poly-Solv EB, UN2369, ZINC01690437 The more butyl, the better, although it's hard if not impossible to tell by a retail label ( go to the manufacturers' websites and see if you can get an MSDS on the product.) ...or call me. I've got a 6% butyl, and a butyl / caustic mix.

Burns from firework snakes? Might have to etch with acid to get them out.

The way the burners are configured are completely different. The oil burner bolts to the bulkhead, where a gas burner sets in the bottom of an open bulkhead. There are forced air gas burners available, but you'd need a power source to run it, and it'd be expensive to buy.

I wouldn't get anything on those cars...especially if there's a chance of drying. You'll be washing and shammying the whole lot...for free.

I carry BD20 in 55 gallon drum kits. It's a butyl based degreaser similar to Simple Green.

I have them available... 1/2" - $6.81 3/4" - $9.30 1" - $13.29

Kinda felt like an ant under a magnifying glass, huh?...:D

Death to the ants! :D When he wants to dip a qtip in kerosene and run it in the cat's out...that's where you draw the line...:D
