Ford 8N Proofmeter Installation install#

The grease is to avoid the epoxy to stick to the cable and have the connection lasting for ever. Solution : fill the small hole with epoxy (do not spoil !!) and push in the greased cable. This makes the pumpshaft turning but not the cable. Most probably the end of the hole in the pump-shaft is worn out. I also had to 'stretch' the square end of the cable to allow a tighter fit, this was achieved by simply banging the end with a hammer, simple but affective! The square drive end that fits into the injector pump did not go in far enough, by carefully cutting back the cable housing I was able to fashion it so that the locking cap (the part that screws onto the pump holding the cable in) still held the cable securely but added 1/2 an inch to the depth to which it went in. I replaced the proofmeter cable on my Dexta a while ago and had the same problem (I used a BareCo cable). If it does and the cable is long enough, then the meter should workįrom: Ashbourne, South Australia, Australia Look at the other end of the cable.Can you see the inner, is it long enough. Does it do up all the way or do you need to clean up the threads on the pump. With the inner securely fitted in the pump, now slip the outer on and do it up. does it fit in tightly and not spin freely. Try withdrawing the inner from the outer, and fitting up to the pump. If you take off the meter and connect to the other end only can you see the cable inner turning at the meter end. Never had the back off the pump to know if there is any sort of breakable/Wearing/replacable parts in the drive end or if it is just a machining in the end of the shaft. I am sure you should be able to see the drive turning. With tractor running, look at back of injector pump to where the cable connects. The needle should move visibly, not just small movement but a good quarter scale or so. Give it a little spin between thumb and fingers, try both directions. The inner I am sure is just squared off at both ends, no other fitting on it other than the collar.There should be enough sticking out for you to get a grip of with your fingers. Seem to remember one end or the other of the inner drive having a brass collar. If so, then with the cable connected to the meter, you shold be able to see the central drive portion of the cable sticking out the centre of the cable outer at the drive end. I am assuming proof meter is another name for the rpm gauge and hour meter fitted in front of the gear levers and not some other form of indicator fitted to american versions of the dexta that i know nothing of. Any help or 'tricks of the trade' would be helpful. Does this make any sense? My Dexta is a late 1959. Took it back off and it seems as something is missing? The cable end is square and it doesnt seem to make contact on the pump end.
