Tenmogger? @SCSG-G4

We had some in my region of support when I worked for Harris Computer Systems Div in the 80s. I think ours had an adapter built into the Teletype itself and they had two ports on them. One a military style connector and the other an RS232C. Yes, the USB to RS232C will work off of a Raspberry...

Does the interface for the Raspberry PI support 20ma loop?

I too have had an engine grenade on me. A Multifuel broke the crank in two and destroyed the block and it started righ up when I got it home. (Yes, I have a witness) It wasn't something you wanted to hear or see for that matter but it was interesting to see an engine with a two-piece crank...

I'm just curious, but did you share any of the information with the manufacturer? I live nearby by the plant and see it when I go up and down I75 frequently. Not that it would help you but maybe it might help them. IMHO

I just got a M915A1 a few months ago and drove it back to Dayton from Georgia. I just got my battery box the way I wanted it. Only had a ratchet strap holding the cover on and the batteries were cribbed in with blocks of wood.

Awesome find. They used them on ships as well on the floor model (not green). It is how we sent Telegrams back to the states. I had to go to the Comm Center and fill out a card to sent comms back to my wife. I had a floor model I picked up from one of my customers for quite a few years.

And now I get to watch over this for a little while.

Well thank goodness your back John. steve

Vintage or historical usually implies 25 years of age.

Use multimeter if you have a doubt. Even the cheapest Harbor Freight meter will do the trick.

If you have a 24v charger just connect it to the slave cable and plug the cable into the truck port. Make sure the polarity is correct. I'll be doing it soon myself.

I was looking for the door window crank for my M915A1 and had tried buying some handles off Ebay with no luck. @NDT suggested I look for '70s era car window cranks for GM products. Turns out I picked a 1974 Chevy Impala window crank. Perfect fit. I hear this will work for other trucks that...

You may think this is stupid but start at the batteries and clean the terminals, then work through any and all grounds. Check each connection for the lights, even the ones working. Check the voltages and the charging voltage. There isn't a lot to the wiring on an M809 series.

How about a heads up next time Phil. If I drank coffee I would have spit it all over the place reading your last line. :) (I've seen it 3 times and twice just last week.) steve

I read my Hagerty policy the last time something like this came up. It clearly states that you can occasionally use the vehicle for its intended purpose. That is what I do.

Welcome to the site and it's a good looking truck.

Based on the comments in this thread I would say that the rally has reached the end of its life. It may show up later as just a weekend that a bunch of MV owners show up somewhere but nothing official and certainly nothing by Clinto. No one stepped up and I'm sure that our society being so...

If you had ever been to one of the Haspin rallys you wouldn't think burning waste motor is that remarkable. Throw a gallon jug on a bonfire. ;-) My Brother took his Dodge with a 6BT to a guy in Columbus, IN to have him tune it. The guy worked at the Cummins plant locally and had written a...
