DieselAddict, thanks i believe Kloppk is the member who sells the better governors, i will get in touch with him and see about trying one out.

All My 831 - i got it running pinned, great, but would surge if allowed to be on the electric governor. so followed the TM, got it gap'ed correctly, and no load speed set at 178 volts. with no load seems to run steady (10 or so minutes) not varying more than a volt or two for long periods then...

Excellent - guess it was just in need of lube!!!

my gut feel is - no amount of lube will unfreeze this (but sure won't hurt), something is binding it (full disclosure, i sure have been wrong before..LOL). TM-9-2320-272-24-3 section 4-203 shows a flat bearing plate (part 1 bearing assembly), the TM is unclear if there are ball or roller...

one other thing to consider is fuel use vs. load vs. time to carry load. as stated above you have to consider what load you want, and then what average load you will feed for how long. 1 hr, 12 hrs, 1 day, 1 wk. so how much fuel do you need on hand. for long outages you can assume you will...

hate to ask the obvious, but no junk on the deck? second idea, don't think it would stop the rotation, but my 936, the center electrical contact housing had rusted up, and sheared the bolts right off when i rotated it the first time, resulting in ripping all the wires. after that i'd look into...

NatCAD, question? i just got a 831 and noted my fuel pump has a noticeable knocking or pulsing sound, seems to be working fine, but not a noise i associate with a good pump. are your new ones quite, smooth sounding? just wondering if mine is "normal" or i might as well get a new pump now...

kloppk, No i was just happy to get it running better, that is my next step to complete/check the rest of the settings on the controller. I was hesitant to just jump in and start readjusting things till i have a better understanding of the machine and its issues. so I keep reading these threads...

i just bought a 831a and it did the same thing. runs great on the mechanical governor (called pinned i think) - shut down on the electric governor. so far the "fix" was to follow the tm section 4-14 to adjust the gap and rod length (see fig 4-10 part 22). then i checked the voltage on the...

thanks that looks to cover it.

i did just find the TM section on adjusting the goverlinkage section 4-14 thanks

First a thanks to Kurt for hitting the nail on the head in a PM. Pin the set and it runs fine. Now the new issue. my 831A appears to run perfectly on the mechanical governor, starts, takes load, rejects load, no-load etc... perfect as long as I hold the electric governor off. once I let the...

I'll go home and check my papers, might have just forgotten what all they gave me. LOL

i tagged my M936 here in knoxville and there were no "restrictions" or rules on future sales, none from iron planet and none expressed by Tn. ..i.e. foreign/overseas sales being the most likely.

Joesco - I just replaced my fuel filter (m936a1) and had a hard time getting fuel back to the engine. first air leak was at the bolt on the top of the filter - found this as it leaked fuel at first. then my priming pump quit working - and it was the second air leak source (I think). once I...

this is a great post, having just replaced my interlock cylinder this post was a great help, but one minor correction: as stated air pressure keeps the interlock cylinder pushing with sufficient force on the pin/rod to prevent shifting while in gear. the correction is - when air is let off...

well found the answer to my own post. got the new plastic guides and they have a little lip on the inside that allows the guides to only go on one way. so the answer is --- they go on the wedge or wheel end.

opps our bad, we should not be .... they are on the stickys... sorry new to this.

like swamp donkey indicated, call progressive commercial, I got it thru USAA as a separate policy, no issues, runs about 600$ a year for my policy for liability.

Simp5782 thanks for the input, what kind of lube do you recommend at the wedge end, grease?? or I think there is a special lube for the wedges specified in the TMs. By the way I found the parts for sale at oshkosh equipment, just no idea of where they go on the rod.
