It looks like I might be getting a sweet deal on a Miller Trailblazer 55G! I did a bit of looking in the Miller site for owners manuals etc. for this machine and it was built in 1981. They have the owners manual there for it for $15.00, but I was wondering if anyone has one that I could mooch?! :) A fax copy or???
If not I will bite the bullet and buy it, I'm looking for information on the engine etc. (Continental).
It looks to be in good shape although probably not reliable enough for industrial use, but perfect for my use. It needs some tlc tune-up etc.
Anyone?
Thanks, Dagwood.
good engine, continel closed call wisconsn engine at800-932-2858, regards Jim
You will be very happy with a Trailblazer 55. Don't worry about overworking it, just keep the contactor clean.
That is the only weak spot that I am aware of. I have a 55D and we use it hard.
You will be ok with the Continental. I also have a Lincoln SAM400 with a Continental, haven't had a major problem.
Regular Maintenance Is The Key.

how offen do the valves have to be adjusted on a contenal engine. I have a big 40d It always runs good. Jim
Jim, Iam not familiar with continental diesels. Others say 1500-2500 hrs, but Ithink that is too often.
Maybe someone else has some input. Jeff
