More pictures in a day or two. It got here late so I didn"t get to look at it in the light very much. "Looks" very nice to me though. First question, how does the aux fuel tank setup work, do I fill both or can I use just one once in a while? How does the heater work? Either I didn"t figure it out or it doesn"t work, I slide the one lever all the way to hot and turn on the blower, anything else? I can probably find it easily in the daylight, but I"ll ask in case someone knows right off, where is the temp gauge plug located on the engine, I don"t think that gauge works so I"ll probably change it right away, water does get hot.It was about 45 today for a high, seemed to start a little harder than I"m used to but less than 10 seconds, sounds decent, standing next to the engine while running it seems louder than my 1855, quieter in the cab, and it drives much better. It also has a small amount of black smoke while going down the road at higher RPMs. Barely noticeable, seems to fluctuate, a little darker then lighter then back in cycles, fairly fast between the two at constant speed, but again, it can barely be seen unless you look right at it. Supposedly doesn"t use oil, according to the people that were just renting it. One last thing, I think I saw the block heater is one of those inside the side of the engine. I"ve only had the kind that are in the coolant line. Is it safe to leave it plugged in all night or only for a while? Thanks for any answers. What is the best type of hyd. oil to use?
