    Solargizer help for MEP-003A?

    Your MEP-003 should have a hot + coming from battery #1 going to the starter. The ground - from battery #1 and the hot + from battery #2 should be hooked together and then finally a ground - from battery #2 should go to the generator ground. If the batteries are wired any other way you have a...

    Should I tow M109 with M35A3?

    The rope is a good thing, but in the towing business we usually used the seat belt to tie off a steering wheel. Since the Deuce has a chain to prevent theft, also chain the steering wheel. You should be able to purchase a set of air lines and glad hands to tie both trucks together so that you...

    M200 dolly conversion

    When are you planning on torching off the lift rings? The trailer skid plate will hit them sure as spit.

    Check your tires!

    Doghead, I beg to differ. On a tire inflated to a normal running pressure of 50 psi, you can feel the difference in 10 psi pressure. That's a 20% difference in pressure. I'm not saying to not get a good tire pressure gauge, just that for a quick check, a 10 psi change in pressure is...

    Check your tires!

    A good old hickory stick with a steel collar, thump the tires and life is good. Thump, good tire, thump, good tire, thump, good tire, thud, flat tire. After you thump the tires a few hundred times you get a very good feel for the amount of bounce back the stick has. As for the missing value...

    Single Piece Drive Shaft on XLWB 5-tons

    Well Doc, I hate to tell you this, but Spicer Gear recommends a maximum of three degrees angle on drive line components. http://www.spicerparts.com/measuring.asp When exceeding this limit, you only have a few choices to correct the angles. Multi piece drive shafts using carrier bearings, CV...

    Single Piece Drive Shaft on XLWB 5-tons

    With the amount of suspension travel that your truck has I doubt that a one piece drive shaft would allow for the movement required without breaking something. The multi piece shafts usually have slip joints to allow for compression of the shaft during full suspension travel. Take your...

    Section II, use/ user information Block A, Retention for the following reason will be blank. Tell them light hauling or MV collection. Block C. should be checked. I have had two that went through with not applicable and three that they required me to check the box. Check the BOX if you are...

    Grade 8 Bolts

    I'm posting this agian as ther was a mis understanding on my text color. Among the many job assignments that I have, testing of fasteners was one of them. A local company back in the 1980's was selling the aerospace company that I work for a large portion of the Military specification...

    M814 recovery from Drexel ... Someone was watching out for me!

    Home heating oil trucks were notorious for breaking drive line parts. Drivers would get them stuck in ice or snow and start spinning wheels till the truck gained traction. Once the tires grabbed hard pavement, out came the drive shaft. If the driver was lucky, only the drive shaft got...

    Adding an extra axle to an M109A3

    If I were to want to add an additional axle to a deuce, I probably would use a M105 axle and a set of wheels off a M1061 trailer. The reason for this tire /wheel combo is that the tires are 16.5 inch diameter so they would fit in the space where the spare tire mounts. I'd use a combo leaf air...

    Definitive M105A2 Recovery Thread?

    You also need a 3/4" breaker bar with a 1 1/2" socket for the lugnuts on the trailer. PB Blaster the lunette, then rotate the lunette, and you will be able to raise the trailer tonge a few more inches to level out. Also the safety chain hooks are too large to attach to most receiver hitches...

    Mep 002, Mep003 vs civ genset?

    To expand on what Speddmon posted, there are two main locations where large quality of generators are sold. Letterkenny Army Depot (Chambersburg PA) and Ft Drum, New York. Letterkenny is a major overhaul depot for all military generators. Ft Drum sells the overflow from Chambersburg, usually...

    Added coolant filter and flushed radiator today'

    Nice clean looking installation.:-D If I may, you should probably look into getting some 90 degree fittings and install them between the heater core and the hoses going to the filter kit. This will keep the hoses from crimping themselves off due to the weight of the hoses. I also like the...

    Towing question with M35.....

    If Dodge, Ford, and GM can rate their dually pickup trucks to tow a trailer in excess 17,000 lbs there should be no reason that a "bobbed deuce" can't do the same. As for driving down the highway at 55 mph towing the same load, no way with the standard LDT-465 engine and 5 speed transmission...
