I dunno Guy... I thought it was your personality coming through... Usually it only auto converts when there is a colon next to a parenthesis... :) or :(

Good morning, and welcome aboard... The experts will be along shortly. Good that you have already gone through the -24. Of note, the temp gauge is a separate circuit circuit from the high temp light, so one can go bad, but you still have the other either as reference, or safety. I don't...

Depending on how much you're missing, you might want to look around for a crapped out generator, and just replace the harness. That keeps everything in spec, plus all the labels are already on the wires, along with the terminations. In your case a dead 803a, or 813a would work. It would...

Clicking from the pumps, or something else like relays? Are both your batteries good? As in really good? One weak battery will give you all sorts of headaches. This is also something I found out the hard way...

When you open the control panel door there are 3 black plugs at the back right. That's the area. They disconnect from below if you were ever to need to disconnect them. If I got another machine, I'd probably do it just because, and hose all the contacts down with Deoxit. Good that you saw...

Worth a shot. Thanks for the pointer. I run through that area frequently.

That is closer, but I'm going to pass. Thanks though.

I'm sure the real experts will be along shortly, but until then... If you have not downloaded the TM's (technical manuals) for the 802a you should do so, and spend a little time trying to read them. They're challenging until you get used to how the military wrote them, but they are excellent...

While a complete extra 116 wouldn't be the worst thing to come in to, I really only need the tongue jack for the unit I have. Plus Wisconsin would be a bit far to come pick it up... Cheers

Just removed one today... I had pulled the whole fixture out of the dead 813a during salvage operations... Clamped the block in a vise, and got the 2" strap wrench set up. 1/2" ratchet, and 30" pipe got it off, but the can didn't survive unscathed, and it took a pretty good pull out at the end...

Excellent

Brakes are solid on my 116, so that's good to hear. I do need to pick up some chocks. The rocks I'm using currently certianly will do the job, but they are less pleasant to move around... And yea, bolts are a must. Can't go anywhere with the chains currently, but it would pound on the deck...

I'm curious what people experience is with an 802a on a trailer is for dancing around. Being a 2 cylinder, it's going to shake, and that is going to transfer in to the trailer. Assuming you're not on a perfectly level location, (and there isn't a level spot anywhere on my property) do they go...

Casually looking for the adjustable front landing jack for a M116. NSN 2590013880958 PN 12436705 Crank handle would be nice too. I figure it's just easier to swap it in for my fixed length leg than instal a civ trailer leg, and I'm currently feeling lazy, plus it's still cold out there to be...

When you load up a diesel, it's going to smoke somewhat. If it's kinda a gray haze I usually think it's happy. If you start rolling coal, then you have to figure out what's going on. Can't watch vid where I am to see what you've got.
