And it makes it first dollar before the final finish is even done! Way to go. Looks like you were about maxed out on the height with the tanks. You say you ran out of fuel coming in, did you fill up going out? What kind of mileage are you getting? I would imagine that with the jobs you get in...

For those that say they can get 70 mph easily, what is your rpm at that speed? Do you have a steady supply of extra motors? And how well would you be able to stop that combo in an emergency?

I have a video but it is four sections totaling almost three hours. Take out the front and Cabells breakdown and the return on main roads cuts it down to i.5 hour. I will see if I can pick some decent sections to put up. Been real busy since getting home.

Well Cabell, I had to wake up the old CJ to move it to make room for the impending septic system. The big block roared to life................... on four cylinders. After yanking the top on the carb and cleaning out the water, varnish mix from the left hand bowl it fired right off. After some...

I went through the TM-5-4310-277-14 manual, figure 3-1, page 2. and the only oil mentioned for moderate temps is 30 weight motor oil. Sound about right? I have always used air compressor oil in all of my shop compressors.

The best I can come up with in a model is HGR5-8M. I adjusted the cutout down to 125 until I can get a regulator for it. This is the unit I will be using out back in the yard. Right now it is cutting out at 125 and in at 120. I will set it to spec of 175 and 145 when I get the regulator.

OK, Air compressor guys. I have a 15 cfm compressor powered by a 4AO32 engine and a Quincey compressor on what appears to be a 60 gallon horizontal tank. I am trying to find out if this thing is putting out what it should. Got it running great, when it starts, that is another issue. Once running...

Last ones. At this point I want to thank Carl for the exclusive ride in the halftrack, I have never ridden in one and probably never will have the chance again.

Still going. You will notice that Cabell is still milking the finger injury at dinner.

And some more.

Here are some pictures I got.

I will have some pictures up tomorrow hopefully. Need to get unloaded and downloaded. Other than a couple of showers it was a great weekend.

I was watching the Del. units and everything there went nuts, now the trailers are doing the same thing! Full moon maybe??? I didn't even watch the truck prices recently.

Alternator output is totally dependent on the load it sees from the battery so disconnecting them really tells you nothing other than it is working. It used to be done all the time with generators and it kind of carried over as alternators came in. The old guys will say it will do no harm, well...

My thought is that you are going to be buying a lot of regulators and electronics if you insist on running it with the batteries disconnected. You are spiking the system every time you disconnect while running and with no load the alternator could very well put out 40-50 volts and blow out...

1800diesel had mentioned that in this thread. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?108840-Oops-looks-like-a-bought-a-MEP-003a!

Jerry, I will get them out and get your info, there is nobody around me and if there were they would not know what to do with these anyway I am sure.

No real way to check them short of replacement is there?

Don't know yet Jerry, I have to flow time it. It is a running unit but it acts weird. I had a thread going on it a while ago. It will run smooth and then trail off and stagger along knocking with white smoke for 20-30 seconds and then smooth out for a minute and repeat all over. This came out of...
