    Heater blower motor Mod with MRAP blower

    I couldn't come up with an easily engineered way of using the whole fan and air chute. The 5T has a big square hole and the fan had a small round exhaust outlet. If you figure a way to use the whole fan, I would like to see. I was was not the seller on fleabay. Growing up up on a farm, I...

    Heater blower motor Mod with MRAP blower

    I know the 1st one i built had some engineering 'issues' so I cant run it on high, but low was more than enough to keep the window defrosted at 0*F when we played Sat. morning and it did blow all the bugs and dust out of the defroster which had an old motor running a few hours earlier.

    Heater blower motor Mod with MRAP blower

    I am using the 42 amp version, there is a 28 amp but all the ones I had were going to need lots of works. This one was clean, the smoke had not been let out of the wires yet so it got used. Check the donor MRAP fan motor to make sure it works. Pin B is battery and Pin E is ground, they are both...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    you are correct on 28 amps, the heater CB is 30 amps, so just squeaked under. I only run mine on low, high speed sounds like its going to eat through the fire wall, but this is also the first run, so there will be upgrades.

    MEP 805B display problem found.

    M931 rear service air conection

    The T from the 5th wheel to the pintle appears to be at the tractor protection valve which is located on the frame just to the front of the air dryer directly below the pogo stick. That would be another place to check. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-1vA1EnNJZ4

    M931 rear service air conection

    I will look at mine tomorrow to see. I will bet there is just a T under the 5th wheel air hoses that directs air to the rear.

    M931 rear service air conection

    Mine has a red valve and blue valve that shut of the air at the bottom of the pogo stick right on top of the deck, so that when you pull a pintle trailer all your air doesnt leak from your 5th wheel trailer hose. Photo to come in the light tomorrow.

    Choctow H-140 Heater parts needed

    The head may be a bit pricey, it has a built in primer pump. Mine isnt available at this time or I would get you some better photos. It is being used to heat a gym so if it warms up here, I will go take the top off to get some photos of the head for you.

    Choctow H-140 Heater parts needed

    Here is a pic of the fuel filter and number if that helps. Wherever you get the filter, just ask if they have the number for the head.
