[QUOTE="jeffco, post: 26806, member: 2081"] What side of the engine are the glow plugs mounted, fuel injection pump side, or the other? If the induction heater doesn't work then maybe glows can be added. Down side to either method is using ether for starting is an absolutely a no-no. About the cab, I have the switch in the dash and thats about it. My service manual shows a linear actuator assembly as the lift mechanism. Some call it a satelite actuator. It appears there was a mechanical lift that was a worm drive system as an alternate, as you turned a bolt just behind the R. F. tire the cab lifted, as well as a manual hydraulic pump with a lever just behind the r.f. wheel. Mine was probably the electric lift. The upper mount appears to be just under the dash panel by my right knee while seated. It's built into the dash and seems to be part of the cab/dash. The lower bracket and the jack are both missing. The lower bracket bolted to the right side just ahead of the R.F. wheel. I think The bracket will be no problem for me to fab. 2 bolts through the outer frame. I got a linear actualor from a wheel chair lift from a school bus. It is pretty powerful to lift the entire wheel chair lift with an occupant and wheel chair.
