Thanks again guys!
Mike, I built the engine from a JD 4430 precision engine (404T) and a plastic JD industrial engine. Between the two, and some custom fab work, I was able to reasonably replicate the Cummins 5.9 liter 200 horse engine found in these rigs.
I use a solder flame torch for all my soldering. I use Forney lead free solid core solder and a Japanese mfg'd thin wire lead free rosin core. The big Forney works great for strength soldering and the wire solder is good for flowability and delicate areas.
Here is the mess on my bench. Can you spot the red solder torch? What about the rogator, lol!
