My apologies. I did not mean to say that all small diesels lasted that many hours. Trying to type fast so I could get back to work outside, I abbreviated what I was thinking. I should have stipulated that I have been told by those who use them, the MEP-002 can last a very long time...25-30,000...

I'm on hold for now. I have to hear back from an authority on Kellogg pumps. Thank you!

Sometimes I can guess with the best of them! I didn't think about lowering the rpm to 1800 though. I bought the pulley to run the engine at 3000 rpm and the pump about 590 rpm. If torque didn't do the job...horsepower was going to. I tend to do a lot of things by educated guess. Others'...

If efficiency isn't a concern, my recommendation is to get diesel generator with a glow plug. Military generators have them. There are plenty of resources for self-repair assistance. If you do not care if it is new, there are many municipalities that auction off 10-45kw generators for under $2k...

Thank you for the reply. You reaffirmed what I was thinking after my post. I had bought one a while back when I was planning the build. Now I hope my throttle whip reaches. I could reorder a new, longer one or I may just extend the port from the control valve. I don't know why I didn't install...

I wrote them this morning. Hopefully, they will oblige and send them to my email.

I have an EM 8540 tire balance machine at home. It recently began to have issues by giving error code 4, but it would still work. Today, I get 4, 10 and 29(?) and I cannot set wheel type or size. I would appreciate direction on where to find manuals to help me troubleshoot this machine. Thank...

Update: I pressure washed the unit and could better view a plate welded to the tank. While the assembled unit is designated Rochester, NY, the tank was built in Oakmont, PA by WM. B. Scaife & Sons Co. in 1934. I knew the tank was a different color before, but it hadn't sunk into my head that...

Hello, I purchased a compressor years ago not knowing what I bought. A friend's ex-wife's family owned a farm. The family also mingled with automobile garages and dealer of old. The air compressor purchased is a Kellogg EM52-B. It appears to feature a twin cylinder single stage pump, three...
