no, someone probably just put it back with no bolts in the drive plate.
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
yes the tm's have been my guide. I was just woried about destroying the bearingwhile removing the rear stator support. sucessfully removed generator discovered the bolts on the fly wheel were broke clean due to the unit being struck by a fork lift. stator and housing in good shape. Thanks again!have you read 9-6115-641-24? it tells you how to do it, much to long to explain here. if it was put together that way, i would worry about it being a bad gen head and check it carefully while it is apart.
Yes, in my excitement to get these up and running and reading here about pulling the injectors and dropping some oil on top of the cylinders to let them soak, I removed what I at the time thought were the injectors. What I didn't mention before, was that it was late at night, and I had been working a bottle of bourbon pretty hard that night. I enjoy turning wrenches after a few drinks, but that particular night, I should not have been near my tools.This is what I said from his first post when when he was pulling out the fuel pumps thinking they where injectors. SLOW DOWN. At least one of these generators he should of just thrown fuel in it saluted it and turned the key. The guy had huge drive way more then i ever I hope he is ok
Did you get it from Dean? If so, then yep, that's who I got mine from. I do have one with a hole drilled in the fuel tank. I think between the 5 units I got, I hope to make 4 of them runners.I think that Peter (guy who started this thread aka pmclausen) got his 802a's from the same guy I bought mine from. Future buyers: if there are holes drilled in the fuel tank, they're there for a reason. Also, trying to turn that sucker by hand before you pay for it; even if it is just $475.
If it were me I would take the opportunity to paint everything now. Since you have everything apart it would be a shame not to and fairly easy to do now. I bought some of the Mil Spec enamel colors from Rapco and ran through my HVLP spray gun and it turned out great, or you can buy individual spray cans. If you intend to re-sell any of your units it should add value as well as protecting them from the elements.As can be seen from the picks, I painted a few small parts with some blue engine enamel. I'm torn if I'm going to go ahead and paint the rest or not. If I do, I need to do it soon I suppose before I bolt too much else back on.
I agree, but temper my comment with the understanding that I have no skin in the game, and the labor doesn't come from me.If it were me I would take the opportunity to paint everything now.

I would absolutely paint after all the great work you have done. JMHOAs can be seen from the picks, I painted a few small parts with some blue engine enamel. I'm torn if I'm going to go ahead and paint the rest or not. If I do, I need to do it soon I suppose before I bolt too much else back on.
