| I'm sure they had a mechanical pump on top of the Wisconsin engine, mine has a block off plate there. It had an aftermarket electric pump on it when I got it. If you go that route you'll also need a fuel pressure regulator after it, if I recall correctly anything over 2 psi will cause flooding issues. |

| Closest I could find was reference to a [url=http://dyloader.en.ec21.com/DMC_300SKID--1_3211150.html]Daeyang Machinery Co.[/url] in Korea which has a similar model. The chicoms keep the digital info screwed down pretty tight in that part of the world; the company does have a domain name but it appears to be parked. |

| It's pretty much the same machine as my 700, it has the same Wisconsin air cooled V-4 engine. I haven't had to do any major engine work, but parts might tend to be a bit high. On the good side, they used these engines on a lot of ag equipment and sawmills so the parts are out there. If the rest of the machine is good, maybe just throwing some bearings in it before it hammers the crank too bad would be an inexpensive fix. They are a good little home machine for someone who doesn't use it a ... |

| Now you know why they put fuses in electrical circuits, it's because everything electric runs on smoke, and when you let it out of the box it doesn't work anymore.
It might be too late, depending on how long you let it cook, but try taking it apart and cleaning the bearings and shaft ends. Most heater motors use sleeve bearings and they can crud up when allowed to set for long periods of time. A squirrel cage fan should spin easily, and continue for 3-4 revolutions after the initial spin at ... |

Unlike most automotive oil pressure swithces which complete the ground, it looks like this one has a NO and NC pole so it can run the idiot light and Hobbs at the same time. That's how I would have done it if I was doing a design.
OK, I've tried every conceivable way to put a picture in here and it won't work, so here's a link to the section of the wiring diagram that cover it. ... |

| I made a cradle out of a piece of flat stock with some smaller sides, about the size of a 6"x1.25" channel. Welded the threaded part of a large bolt to the bottom so it fits in the hole of the fork like a trailer ball. That lets me get under a bumper or frame rail without it slipping off either forward or back, and the sides are shallow enough that it doesn't do much damage, as that was a factor for me. |

| $2500 seems a bit steep for a non-op 700, for that kind of money it should be operational. I've noticed that mine will roll a bit when shut off, can't use it as an anchor to winch stuff. Not sure if that's the way it's supposed to be, or if there is a problem, but it drives and turns ok. If you do get it, it won't hurt to bungee the sticks in the direction you want to pull it and see if it will roll. |

I have a 1976 M700 that has a pretty easy life now. Tires are pretty worn but on the plus side they don't tear up the lawn much.
