These things vibrate a LOT, so I would check to see if you might have wire chaffing issues. I found one wire on mine in the control panel that was chaffing badly and caught it and fixed it before an issue appeared. I would not recommend a circuit breaker. The charging system was not designed for...

The stock setup works very well and is very reliable when taken care of. Spend the time and money now and it will payoff several fold later. Push buttons/card deletes/bypasses/ conversions are fine if that is what the owner chooses, but the stock system does the job very well. It is what it...

Keep adding until it reads on the stick Hopefully your transmission pump isn't toast. It's either going to go on the ground, which you said it isn't, or it's in the transfer case as already mentioned above. I would check your radiator cooler. Make sure it isn't leaking inside the radiator. I...

Seafoam is your friend. If you think you've added too much, add some more. I also run two-cycle oil in all my older diesels. It's designed to be burned and keeps the internals happy. Current diesel does not have the lubricity it used to.

Appreciate it. It’s a great fit for the ford tractor.

Finally finished the transformation of the USAF Oxygen Cylinder trailer to a small utility trailer. Still some small tweaks to do. Will let wood age outside for a year or so then treat it with clean oil. It will never be on the road, so no lighting is needed. Should work fine. Edit: Added...

Looks like a engine or propeller transport trailer. By transport, I mean only on the airfield tarmac. Cool find!

7MC-2A New part arrived. Fit like a glove. Will run it today to see if it helps with the crankcase pressure problem. I think the blowby is too great for this tube to matter much. If so, I will keep doing the tea bottle trick. I'm not going to remove the heads and related hardware, at least...

If it’s wet stacked as you wrote earlier, I would recommend that you run the unit much longer and close to 100%. Get it cleared out now before you actually need it. I do not own one of these, but have read in old threads about guys actually needing the generator and it’s so wet stacked that it...

I bet that was fun with the winch in the way.

7MC-2A Started engine and the newly installed parts worked perfectly. Had to replace some connections. The old one was also hot to touch so I cut out the old female connector and replaced it with same style. New connection is pictured. With new one in place, the heat issue disappeared. The...

7MC-2A New parts arrived yesterday Found some issues with the old parts. It had been like that for some time Glad I also ordered a new voltage regulator as it was fried as well. The new alternator was slightly different with a protective covering at the wire attachment points...

That trailer will handle highway speeds just fine with those DOT approved truck tires. Where that trailer will not work is on any public road as it's currently configured. You would have to add the DOT required lighting, reflectors, safety chains, etc. Tag/Inspection/Brake requirements vary...

I also ordered a new Hatz voltage regulator. It's also made by Ducati. Never hurts to have spare parts. I'll do the testing procedure on the currently installed regulator when parts arrive and I'm ready for the install. The cover is back on now and parked. If I keep this one or sell it later...

Says the man who lives in the land of amazing beers…….. Absolutely

7MC-2A Did some more maintenance yesterday. Installed new air filter and new pressure gauge on the compressor itself. Also cleaned out the automatic air tank water drain. Dirty and bits of rust in the screen but still works fine. Took a closer look at the voltage regulator. Made by Ducati...

They probably should have done that mod from the factory. I've lost count of the number of bent brake handles I've seen. Not sure how they do bend them, but they manage to do so a lot. Every single one of my M101A2 trailers brake handles were bent to varying degrees of bend. From slight to...

Ok Will do I got them pretty tight and they all felt good and strong. Will leave them alone for now and might apply anti-corrosion on the wire ends at a later date.

I painted the oil dipstick handle. It needed painting and I was out of 383 paint. Didn’t want black or red and it now matches all my other equipment. Not tactical but works I still need to paint trailer and reinstall the fuel can holders on one side. Will leave the other two off. Also still...

I use steel wool in other things for mice prevention. Works well Also would be too nervous to use it in the lug box since the 002A vibrates so much. Now that I have a plug hard wired, I will not need to access the lugs again. Made sure the lugs were nice and super tight. I did not use any anti...
