Could the bulb hole be filled with sediment and blocked, preventing coolant from reaching the bulb?

Ran into that recently on an inoperative pressure gauge on a water system.

I found a thermo. At the parts store (chevy small bock) that fit. I tested it in hot water and installed it .Still no joy . Remote therm reads only 100 F  where the temp sensor mounts on the head. That after 1/2 hour running . Anyone ?

Thanks for the reply jack. I rechecked the gauge ,it is definitly working and today it moved off peg a little after an hour of plowing snow . Guess I will replace thermostat.

  Do you know a source ?

Hello, fellow NB'er!

Reading your post, my first reaction was that the new gauge got busted when installed. I've twisted that fine tube off on occasion.

I'd pull it and recheck.

I noticed that according to the tempgauge the engine was not getting warm .no movement on gauge. This was new .In the past it showed working temp on gauge. I got a new gauge as a remote read themo showed at least 180 on block. I confirmed the new gauge was working by putting it in pot of water on stove . At 200 according to therrmo the gauge was in run zone . But after install new gauge wont come up either . I took out thermostat and confirmed it is closed cold and open around 180.
    So I am stumped . Can anyone tell me what the head should read with remote temp gauge . What happens if engine runs cold to much? Why would it run cold ,if it is.

Thank You for the help fellas. thanks to your part number I was able to find this https://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-STARTER-DRIVE-MPLS-MOLINE-WHITE-OLIVER-HERCULES-COCKSHUTT-COMBINE-HARVESTER/360826502271?hash=item5402ef7c7f:g:MqcAAMXQnYJQ9Nsl:rk:11:pf:0 on ebay. Unfortunatley the price is out of the range I can justify at the current time. But it gives me needed information to possibly find another source. Lots of times I make what I can but this is a little out of my capability as of now.

The Auto-Lite MZ-4098 was the first starter used on the HG, from SN 5GA000 to 25GA377. At SN 25GA378 they switched to a Delco 11029602.  I to would recommend Zimmerman's, they are very good to deal with.

Hello Dave -

Have you tried Zimmerman Oliver Cletrac?

They have probably the best stock on the continent. And if they don't have it they will probably help you find the parts.

HG, OC-3, OC-4 & General / IXK3 starter parts

Last post by countryguy828 - December 04, 2018, 03:09:35 AM

I have been working on my HG and turns out that the bendix/drive gears are pretty much shot. The gear snaps in as it should but the threads are so worn it jambs up and won't release. Is there a source for these parts? It could use a set of brushes too. I have had pretty good luck finding delco parts but not so much on autolites based on past experience.

By any chance anyone have an exploded view of the starter? I have a sneaking suspicion there is extra spacers/washers in there and I want to double check against something.

Thanks,
Dave

Well, still have the m2, but work has slowed down.  I got to get more blasting done, before I set the engine back in m2.   Also so I have traded for three m4a1 high speed tractor.  but hope to make one m4 out of 3 .   I like to take junk and make so thing out of it.That the fun .
