Thanks Monkeyboyarmy, once I get the battery tray cleaned up I'll put a battery in. I do agree the TM shows all kinds of brackets. I was thinking about putting a circuit breaker in near the front battery and a cut off at the control panel. I have to get the wire from the front battery secured...
Could you post up a picture of your tanks when you get a chance. I think that's how I'm gonna put mine in. Also could post a picture of where your gen battery grounds at? The positive cables (one small one larger) are still there, thankfully they just used the eyelet hole and bolted it to the...
Thanks MatthewH, I might hit you up for some pics as I get further along. Do you have oxy/acet tanks mounted in yours? The plywood cover is a great idea for critters, there are signs of critters once living in it. I think I will run a cable back to keep it charges off the truck but have a cut...
That's a cool idea. Slide it out and put the leg down. My vice is still on the tailgate, but I'm gonna have to replace the wood at least since it's starting to sag a little in the middle. I'm wanting to get this truck fixed up so that it will be a convoy support truck for shows with some...
I was guessing that is was suppose to be open, how much road junk builds up through the opening? So the battery went in below where the generator sticks out? In the TM that I looked at, they had the batter mounted on the tray behind the control panel. That's probably where I will add one...
I'm looking for a couple answers on the generator/welder setup in the back of at M1028A1 Contact Truck, it has the Wisconsin Air Cooled 4 cylinder. Been working on this for a couple of days and have had issues with the generator not cranking. Also my marker and tail lights would work sometimes...
We were doing some training on Fort Campbell years ago and a guy was blocking the road. Talked to him and he explained they were doing an air drop of two water bladders. While we watched, the first one started falling, I asked the guy "Isn't that chute suppose to open?" He looked and said...
Figured I'd go ahead and post an update, was able to help tankdriver get the tires off the wheels. I had to call in some help from a local guy with a large tire machine. The biggest problem with getting them off was the metal beadlock in the wheel, it was rusted/seized to the wheel. Well that...
Might want to think about some fuel line (1/4" and 5/16" if I remember correct and clamps), diesel fuel treatment, and maybe an electric diesel pump just in case. Don't forget to check all the lights, and if you don't know, make sure you know how to operate the lights.
If you tow it back with...
