    3 Phase to Single Phase Step Down Transformers

    I'm not saying you are incorrect as I am absolutely not an expert. However, I don't understand why using the transformer would keep the generator in balance if only two of the three legs are pulled from, the third leg has no load, and both of the legs pulling a load are likely to have different...

    FLU419 front loader hydraulic pump issues.

    Have you checked with Expedition Imports? They have a large amount of FLU419 parts, a lot more than they have listed online. If it was me, I would keep it original.

    MV of the Month July 2023

    I'll submit my new to me un-cut M151A2. This is a former TOW missile launch jeep and still a work in progress, but runs and drives great.

    I bought the Pirelli tires for my FLU419 from CSM Army tires in Alabama. Shipped the next day and very good price. I love the Pirelli tires.

    Good luck with the new transmission. Let us know how it holds up.

    Usmc m1030b1

    My M1030M1 has a rifle rack across the handlebars. It has rubber Y-shaped holders with a rubber strap across each one. It also came with three RFID units, one on each side and one larger one on the handlebars. I've never seen another M1030M1 with a rifle rack. Mine was definitely USMC use.

    I took everything apart again and found the problem. A piece of trash had gotten under the bracket that the slave cylinder bolts to. This resulted in the slave cylinder being slightly too high. I cleaned out the trash and now my clutch and intermediate speed control all work fine. I measured...

    When I said I removed the slave cylinder, I was not explicit in my explanation. I didn't remove the slave cylinder. I removed the entire bracket from the top of the transmission via the 4 bolts since this removal was necessary to remove the top of the transmission, so I assumed all of the...

    Well, I finally got my Intermediate Speed Control resolved. It was caused by the piston in the upper transmission cover rusted in position. I honed the cylinder with a wheel cylinder hone to remove the rust. I ended up re-using the O-rings that sealed the piston against the bore because I...

    I never drive my SEE over 35 or 40 on the highway and on hills it won't go that fast anyway. It can really get squirrely. I blew the left rear original Michelin tire on my SEE on the highway. I wasn't going very fast, but still came close to turning over. If it has original Michelin tires...

    Ditto on what The Flu Farm and Miggginsbros said. FLU419s are very very complicated. Find someone that already owns one with experience to check it out for you. If it isn't looked at by someone with the proper knowledge you are rolling the dice. Who currently owns the SEE? If it is a...

    CSM Army tires good place or no?

    I got tires for my FLU419 from CSM. Great deal and very fast shipping.

    Transmission whining in 4th and 5th gear.

    Check the lube level. If it is making noise, fix it before the situation worsens. I had an M35A2 that I recovered from Fort Indiantown Gap and drove it home to North Georgia. It made a slight clicking sound in 5th gear when I let up on the accelerator. The fluid level was correct and it...

    Ready to go for the summer.!

    Very nice! I've been re-packing the wheel bearings on mine and replacing the brakes. Yours looks better than mine.

    MEP-003A Replacement AC Voltage Regulator

    Try Delks. I bouhgt one from them several years ago for a reasonable price and it was a good one.

    They even have overspray on the gauges.

    Right now, all I need is the O-rings. I honed the two bores with a wheel cylinder hone and they now look perfect. Fortunately, the piston was in perfect condition and didn't need any help. I ordered new O-rings from EI, but they couldn't find them, although they had them, so they have ordered...

    I actually already have a bore hone for wheel cylinders that I got years ago, which should work. Since there are two separate and opposite bores to hone, I can reach each from different sides of the top cover. I'm optimistic that I can save the part. I'm going to start the process tomorrow...

    I'm now back on the FLU419 Intermediate Speed Control problem. I couldn't get the end plug out of the top cover until I found a 24 mm hex plug socket. I ordered one from Home Depot with 3 days delivery and it has never arrived after weeks of waiting. I ordered another from another vendor and...
