    PU348A/G Diesel Generator 5 KW I just got and have questions on.

    It is just the brand. You can get it at almost any hardware store, or paint supply place. It is a jelly that smells incredibly strongly of ammonia. It will burn your skin if you don't get it off quickly. I advise gloves.

    PU348A/G Diesel Generator 5 KW I just got and have questions on.

    What is important is that you realize that this generator "set" as it is referred to, since it is a special unit, includes the trailer. Once separated/ modified, it is never the same. It needs to stay together, but far be it from me to tell you what to do with your unit. It looks to me like it...

    Need to find M-60A3 drivers instrument cluster and bracketry for a restoration

    EWA, talk to Carnac about the radio stuff. He has a lot of what you are looking for including the VIC-1 components. Some of it is even listed in the classifieds right now.

    You will get some cheap Asian junk no matter who or where you buy from. That includes NAPA. Of all the ones I've gotten from napa, I've only gotten a couple that were American made. The Asian ones aren't that bad. They last a couple years. Just don't get gear oil or grease on their dust boots...

    PU348A/G Diesel Generator 5 KW I just got and have questions on.

    Get some aircraft paint remover, dab it onto the painted plates with a small paintbrush, watch the paint bubble up in a minute or two, then wipe it off and spray it off with a water hose. That will leave the plates clean and free of paint, but won't hurt the original colorant of the plates.

    PU348A/G Diesel Generator 5 KW I just got and have questions on.

    Serial #67? A rare piece like that, with such a low serial number, I wouldn't tear it apart. Someone will be along that can tell exactly what it is and what it was for. I'm betting there weren't more than 100 or 200 of these made, otherwise I'd have some idea what it is.

    Stolen M35 - Colorado - on or before 11/22/2015

    Guys, we know these trucks pretty well. From the looks of it, that truck would need some love to get it to fire up, of course sometimes they surprise us. Looks like it has been sitting for a while, and I've never seen a thief that would lug two batteries along with them. My bet is that it left...

    M109a4 /a3: Reducing rpms, gaining speed / tranny / gearing solution & crowd sourcin

    Tom, will the multifuel flywheel bolt onto the 3116, or will he have to get one that is made for the 3116?

    Looks like a solid rig to start with. You will likely need to just replace the wheel cylinders, as water settles in them and pits the inside surfaces to a point where they can't be rebuilt. They can be had as low as $25 each if you shop around. Spend the money on brakes before you spend it on...

    Converting a NA Engine to C Turbo Set-up -- Need some advice

    No. Leave it alone. You'll just make another leak.

    Brake shoes

    Well that sucks... I basically bathe in brake cleaner and brake dust every time I go through a hub.

    Brake shoes

    It helps if you have the machine tool to do it, but it can be done with a hammer and punch, or anvil. It really is easy. Getting the old rivets drilled out is the hardest part. If memory serves, the friction pads run about $13 per wheel end, and the rivets are cheap too.

    $4+ diesel local prices

    Snake oil. " For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction." This is true even with fuel economy.

    did USMC ever use the M35A2

    That is part of what gives Marines more character. Doing a fine job with less equipment, and getting the things they need,but don't have by other fun and interesting means. I have heard stories that nearly made me bust a gut.

    Brake shoes

    That isn't bad at all. Did you look into relining the old shoes yourself? That is leaps and bounds cheaper if you have the ability to do it.

    Upgraded deuce's tires to Goodyear G177 11.00R20s (dualed)

    It reads faster than actual speed. Verified by Welldigger with GPS well before my engine swap and overdrive install. None of that changes the speedometer reading though, as it reads from the transfer case. Looks like once I get my G177s put on it will be fairly close, as per your research.

    Upgraded deuce's tires to Goodyear G177 11.00R20s (dualed)

    Velence, the 5 ton adapters do fit the deuce transfer case. I have one that came off of an 817 on mine, and with worn 11.00 NDTs it seems to read 3-5 mph fast on the speedometer.
