    FLU419 electrical issues

    I believe that wire 12 goes to connector A23 on the back of the fuse box 1, but not 100% positive. I had to replace the entire front wiring harness with an NOS wiring harness and found that many of the connections on the back of the fuse boxes had been moved to different places by the Army than...

    Mep003 Putting out 300 VAC and stalling

    Welcome to the Site You stated that it stalls after a minute or two. I'm assuming that you mean that the engine quits running? If so, you have more problems than just the voltage regulator and the high voltage. Is this MEP003A new to you? Have you seen it running previously? If this unit is...

    The number 10 refers to the diagram. It is showing you where wire 12 is located. The arrow on the diagram is showing you where to find wire 12.

    You are correct. However, my new head came with a slightly thicker gasket and instructions that it would work for any situation. I hope it was correct, because that is what I did. So far no problems.

    GA M149A2 Water Buffalo For Sale

    I have an M149A2 water buffalo for sale in very good condition. It is ex-USMC. This one has the good stainless steel tank. I've had the water buffalo for many years. I previously used it to water newly planted trees, but haven't used it in several years. It is located in Hiawassee, Georgia...

    Data Plate

    Welcome to the site. You will really enjoy your mule. Do you know if it is USMC or Army? Carnac came up with a listing of Army mules and I attached a copy. I'm assuming you carefully took the paint off the side where the numbers are located? You can easily find replacement data plates for...

    FLU419 electrical issues

    I would recommend following the troubleshooting chart in the TM. It is very good and easy to follow.

    Actually, I put a post on Benzworld about the problem. Several people responded and told me to check the charging warning light bulb. They said that voltage from the bulb goes to the alternator and is required to activate the alternator. My bulb checked out fine, but when I re-installed it...

    Now that I have the air pressure issues resolved, I need to attack the problem that my alternator isn't charging and the tach, which is fed by the alternator, isn't working. Although the TM says I must tilt the cab to access the alternator, I seem to remember a post, either on SS or Benzworld...

    I installed the new unloader. Took about one hour and everything works now. I did have to adjust the regulator to get the pressure up to 106 PSI. Maybe this one will last longer than the last replacement I did.

    M 715 Kit Question

    I remember blowing a front tire while driving in the Alps in Germany in 1971. It was a royal pain changing that wheel. I don't remember what the jack looked like but I still remember trying to get that wheel off!.

    Actually, the one that failed on mine was replaced by me several years ago. The model # I purchased for both is: WA9753034730A. I hope my new one holds up better. After removing the failed unloader, I noticed some corrosion in the steel fittings between the unloader and the crossover tube to...

    Turns out the problem is with the unloader. I found a replacement on Ebay for $58.80 with free shipping. Hopefully I'll receive it soon because I have a project that needs the jackhammer.
