RE: Bumper - What are these holes for???? The holes look like they came in the bumper, not add-ons. The two small holes in the lip of the bumper(center) look like something was mounted there? James G.

I think you use the holes already in the back of the cab, their should be two vertical rails on the back of the cab for the post to lay in. James G.

I called Hagerty on my M543 they were going to charge me $113 a year for full coverage with a milage limit of 800 miles, until they found out it was not fully restored and was not stored inside. After that little disclosure they were not interested. James G.

I am adding a step to the 543's bumper, I have noticed two sets of holes straddling the frame horns, they are about 1/2 inch. in diameter and 13.5 inches apart on both sides of the bumper. There is also a set of 1/4 inch holes centered over the winch cutout on the top and bottom lip of the...

I was looking at the M543's engine tag. It has a rebuild tag stamped rebuilt by MMD,92/2/7. There is no manufacturers name on the engine tag. Is the manufacturers name cast anywhere on the motor? And what/where is MMD? THanks, James G.

RE: Re: RE: batteries I am headed up to Ft. Riley, in a week or so to pick up my two Wire Rope Kits. Lawrence KS is on the way and while there I am going to pick up at least a couple of 6TL Blems at the factory, $40 each I hope. If anyone near by needs a set let me know, my Honda Wagon(28...

What I need is the clevis with two pins in it the 3/4 and 1 inch, like the one shown in the towbar manual. I tried the one I have on my M37, it is too large to go though the shackel mount. James G.

Thanks, M1075, are you in Easten or Western Oklahoma? I am in NW Arkansas, one of these days we should have a get together in some central location, for everyone in the area. James G.

I thought the two slinder bolts with D pins attached were for my med. towbar to hold the legs in place but they are too large. I have one towbar "foot" the brown singel part in the center of the photo, does anyone have it's mate for sale? One is not much good! James G.

M1075: Can you post the back side of the center set of adapters, I think I may have just recieved a set of those but it is hard to tell from the angle. Are they for the M880? Thanks, James G.

My parents have run up on a 5 Ton wrecker near their home in Mississippi. They know the owner so one of my brothers went over to look at it. He said it looks just like mine, and they are both green, he is not much for details. Anyway my dad mentioned I was getting some chain clamps for my...

RE: compression I can't find a compression release anywhere on the genset. It has a on/off switch, run lever and a stop lever and that is about all, it is a very small and simple piece of equipment, but I still can't get it started!!!!!! Jones I will send you my address tonight or do you...

Too much black, see how well it blends in with it surroundings!!!!!! James G.

RE: compression Someone on the forum earlier called it a MEP 13, I don't know if this is right or not? It has a Wisconsin-Robin 6 hp single cylinder diesel motor running a 3.1KW generator. The red cap covers a tube used to add fuel to prime the engine. Any help is appreciated. James G.

Tried the thumb over the injector hole, no compression at all!!!! The rockers and springs are moving up and down equal distances, I guess the only thing left are bad rings on the piston? I checked the only local diesel shop that looks at anything but trucks, they only want , a shop mininum...

I have a single cylinder diesel genset that will not start. Turns over great but will not hit, it puts out a cloud of diesel vapor not smoke? I think one of the valves are stuck open? they seem to function perfectly when you turn the motor over but I can't actually see the valves move only the...

RE: Brake Mike: I don't know of any advantage Dot 5 has over Dot 3 except it doesn't absorbe water, Dot 5 is also about 5-6 times more expensive! Did you stay with the original mc? James G.

RE: Brake Mike: I would suck out some and do the water test on it, it could be dot 5! You don't want to mix them!!! James G.
