I'm replacing the front differential on a 1993 FG439. I have the service manual Fuso issued back then in three printed binders. The rear axle section has a spec for torque needed to rotate the differential after preloading the bearings, but the section for the front differential does not. It...

Over the years I've just mail ordered parts for my Fuso from dealers in other parts of the US. I don't know if there is another FG in New Mexico. Speak up if you are out there, I would like to know. The ME013307 part number was in the original documentation & I know is obsolete. I took the...

I have a US spec. 1993 FG 439 that I purchased new. Back then the oil filter was about what you would expect for a smaller commercial diesel truck. The 1993 Parts catalog for the truck listed ME 013307 for the oil filter. Over the years this number was superseded a few times. Now its...

Injection Question Did you modify or adjust the fuel injection pump? I know there's a pressure diaphram in the injection pump hooked up to the intake manifold. It would increase fuel injection as manifold pressure increases. Does it have the range to increase fuel amounts when manifold...

Andy, Thanks for the information. Those I can get local & not pay freight across the Pacific... What wheels did you use? Are they the same front & rear? Installed like an outer dual on the rear. I think I read about two sources in the US, but as I remember one went out of business due to the...

Are the wheels 16 in. like the Orig. ones or larger? I haven't found any 16" tires that can carry the rear axle wt. single in the US. Are these machined such that they could be used dual?

Wheels I think a number of people are interested in wider wheels for their Canter/Fuso. I have an older one that also uses the five stud/bolt type as shown in the photo. Looking at the original photos I don't see any steering linkage on the left side so Assume you are down in OZ. Do you have...

Mount Details? John, Body mount designs have been a topic of great interest. Have you posted photos and details of "Sprung (sic?) mounted body attached at 10 points minimum." in a previous discussion? If not, do you have any photos? You mention that it is "low profile" and very close to the...

Sub Frame Attachment Is the sub frame riding on the oak pieces 'U' shaped or rectangular? Does it have cross members? Does it run the full length of the Fuso frame & how is this sub frame attached to the Fuso frame? It looks like really nice fabrication and would certainly isolate the...

Another 'Vintage' Fuso I read an article about Marvin Patchen's Fuso in a 'Four Wheel Drive' magazine in the summer of 1993. It wasn't one of the articles linked in the earlier post. I immediately liked the idea and started planning a build. As previously mentioned I found that the FG439 was...
