Been making some progress on the military vehicle restoration so it's come time to drain the old fluids and flush/clean things out.
This vehicle is a 1945 model M-4 High Speed Tractor, and it has a torque converter in the power train. I was reading the service manual and it said to use #2 diesel fuel in the converter. I read it again and found out I read it right the first time. Drained the converter and out came old foul smelling diesel fuel.
Have any of you old timers worked on a torque converter equipped machine that uses Diesel for the fluid? Maybe it's more common than I realize but it's the first time I've heard of this. Seems to me diesel might foam when it's whipped around like that but it must work OK or they wouldn't have used it. Jim
