I need the pressure hose for the power steering, tank on the back of the generator. Does anyone know what the fittings are? Went to the hydraulic shop and hard to match up. Male fitting on tank seems like metric and they tried everything, seems odd it would be. May try to use the old fittings, wh...
My ignition key stopped turning unless I jiggled it for several minutes. I watched a good video on how to replace an ignition lock cylinder on YT.

I'm trying to get the cross over pipe off the v12 to pull the oil pan. My oil level indicator has sunk. Anyway, I sure would like a dipstick somewhere. I read that one reason these engine got a bad rap was because the state or condition of the oil could not be determined with only the oil level i...
