wwiitrucks Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Ok Ward lafrance gods ,Viscometer group 0605, page 139 in the 1945 ord 8-9. Sending unit you can buy http://www.ebay.com/itm/Ward-LaFrance-Diamond-T-Mack-Viscometer-sending-unit-N-O-S-/131410504454?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1e98ad2b06 but can not find it in the parts manual. I have seen these on hercules engines. So what ward lafrance had them. Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longydagun Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 I don't know about the Ward but i do know the Mack LMSW has one.. which i guess means the NM and possibly the NO would have them too? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TooTallMike Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Hi Jeff, I just had a look at the ORD 8-9 and it shows that WLF Series 1-3 were fitted with 'GAUGE, oil level (dash unit)'; while WLF Series 4 & 5, and KW 572 & 573 were fitted with 'GAUGE, viscometer'. Further down there are various listings for 'GAUGE, oil pressure' so that is a distinct item. The TMs illustrate an oil level gauge on the left-hand side of the dash in hard-cab trucks but I have not seen a Series 5 (M1A1) with a Viscometer. I'd suspect this is either an error, or that it was deleted from the production models after the manual had already been released? Further to Longydagun's Mack's, the Autocars (7144 & 8144) were fitted with dash-mounted viscometers. Regards - MG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian Barrell Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 I have a small stock of nos engine units for the viscometer if anybody needs one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wwiitrucks Posted January 27, 2015 Author Share Posted January 27, 2015 Hi Mike Dug into the Ord 8-9 , I see the viscometer on page 139, looked at oil group 107 and the only thing I found is in group 107G page 70, COVER,oil filler and viscometer mounting, That is all I can find, No listing of a Unit Viscometer. Also no listing of a viscometer in Ord 8 1952. Looked at Tankograd no.1001 and 6029. I also have SERVICE PARTS CATALOGE for HEAVY WRECKING TRUCK M-1 FOR KENWORTH 570 model, No listing of any viscometer. I am thinking as you are, misprinted or was on a early truck,I am thinking ward lafrance series 1 Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On my Autocar (Hercules) it was mounted on the side of the sump. Adrian B - the senders appear on Ebay quite frequently, but the gauges seem to be rare. - MG ps. just remembered that DT 980/981's have viscometers too.
