VINTAGE DIESEL DIAGNOSTIC TOOL 🔥

Above Average (for a vintage tool)

Case

Original Metal Storage Case (In great shape for its age)

Gauge Heads Included

IMPORTANT CONDITION NOTE

This kit is in above-average condition, but please note the following about the gauges:

  • Primary Gauge/Valve Reader: The glass/plastic covering on the main, larger pressure reader is CRACKED. While the internal mechanism is believed to be functional and holds pressure, the glass needs repair or replacement for optimal use and safety.

  • Secondary Valve Reader: The kit includes ANOTHER SMALLER VALVE READER/GAUGE HEAD! This spare/alternate reader provides an immediate backup and may be fully serviceable, giving you an operational gauge right out of the box.

Why Bid on the Motorite 70-0003?

  • Operational Value: With two gauges included, you have an immediate path to using this tool, despite the defect on the primary gauge.

  • Analog Accuracy: Bacharach is a trusted name, and the 70-0003 is renowned for its ruggedness and reliable precision in checking cylinder compression.

  • Wide Application: A crucial diagnostic tool for servicing many vintage and classic heavy-duty, marine, and industrial diesel motors when paired with the correct adapters (adapters not specifically listed, see photos).

  • Complete Kit: Includes the essential components and the original case for protection and organization.
