All ground straps are in place and in great shape.
The original (old at least) has the ground cable going directly from the port to the starter in one continuous cable.
I couldn’t tell from the TMs either.
The original one on there now, the cables are almost identical length.
The positive is a tad longer with a Flag terminal on it and the negative cable is about an 1" or so shorter with a ring terminal on it.
NOS one is the same in all aspects, except the length of the negative cable.
Double...
So a while ago I ordered a NOS slave plug with
Cables.
My intention was to replace whole unit as the original cables look horrible.
They work fine, just look terrible.
Doing a NSN search, I found and ordered the NOS part.
When part arrived, the positive cable is the same length as the original...
Moved this trailer to a better spot to run the two generators I store inside it.
It usually sits in heavy shade, but I let it sit out in the hot sun for two days to burn the creatures out.
Trailer frame and cover flaps had spiders all in it.
None inside cargo space at all.
All good now
A post in the parts wanted section should score you the landing leg/chains.
If not, eBay will usually have those listed.
The landing leg and chains aren’t 101A1 specific, any 101 series landing leg/chains will work.
Is it missing the brake shoes or is everything missing?
Brake handles still...
Mine runs about the same temperature as yours.
Hasn’t been an issue in the 6 years I’ve owned it.
I had two Kubota engines. one in a Kubota L345 tractor (traded it in on a new Yanmar YT359C tractor) and my current one in the light tower.
Both used the same temperature thermostat.
Have heard...
If you strike out on the big rig tire shop, most rural town tire shops that deal with a lot of agricultural equipment will be able to handle installing the new tires/tubes/flaps.
No
I’ve used those to check readings, but as your well aware, it’s only 15A
It kicked the main breaker.
I did have it close to 125% for an extended period on a hot day.
It would handle short surges past the 125% no sweat.
But I can’t expect it to do 120+% for almost 30 minutes without it...
I did a three hour load test yesterday and it did fantastic.
Started light and worked up the load.
Held 100-110% for well over an hour no sweat.
Even did a 120% load for about 20 minutes and it finally kicked the breaker. (Edit: Main Breaker)
Was a warm day (90+) and breaker reset fine and...
I knew it wasn't a drop-in part and would require drilling.
It was very easy to install.
Just posted the pics and info for anyone else who's interested and might need to do same thing.
Definitely a plus on the money part. I never found a NOS exact replacement part anyway.
My Fluke and...
New part arrived
Not exactly as the old one and mounting holes didn’t line up.
I already knew this before ordering part thanks to another thread.
Just made a template and was able to reuse one of the original holes.
Expanded one other and Drilled two new holes.
Sealed the other holes with mil...
