I drove my M109a3 cold turkey fifteen hundred miles in feb, all the way to New Hampshire. I checked all fluid levels bought gear oil, engine oil brake fluid and rad fluid at first walmart on the route along with a grease gun and did a grease job. checked all tires and lug nuts, cked all u...
Check the British MV sites, Sankey is a British used trailer, still watching the rear canvas saga, cant believe they don't want to just list their tops on their site, they certainly must sell/advertise somewhere ?
go the antigue route, honest! lived in new Hampshire most of my life (except 20 years in service) registration can be difficult, go to Concord, DMV is on the heights turn across from Blodgett Street on the left coming up hill. Hazen Drive across from
Wendys!
Oh forgot to mention, I now work for the POSTAL SERVICE, no really ! LMAO it was spot on ( don't go postal ) worst organized and supervised out fit ive ever been in
No hard feelings here Guys, Just cant let the opportunity to set it straight go by, AF guys generally don't blow our horns, We work in the shadows frequently and if you hadn't noticed the AF Leadership seldom pass on Cudos. Few people realize what we have done or how we do it. Don't think I...
Oh the old Air Force Ho hum, for the record, And its all factual. All Air Force Personnel are weapons qualified. We control and employ every weapon from the small Nine Mil to missiles, Smart bombs 105 cannons, 30 mm gau 8s bombs up to the MOAB, a fleet of MIRVED thermo nuclear Missiles and a...
Am in for one to start, If they can STOCK some then they could be ordered any time, The profit margin would be the same, I will want another one or two within a few months . If they were to establish a site for orders on here or ebay then Pay Pal could be used and I think you would exponentially...
Load banks were common inthe AF, but to be honest Ive run my off grid house on Gen Sets , Wind mill and solar panels for 22 years. If your just useing your gen set occasionally a load bank wont do anything for your rotor or AVM , Load bank ( max output and hence increased exaust temperture) is...
I tow mine quite regularly with my F 250 Ford superduty, haul full size pickups on it, no problem, just plan your stops and use common sense, Brakes work great when I tow it with my M -109A3, would not recommend a newbie who has never towed do it but I have had no problems, Working on and...
I used the Auber as well, its a two pole Alumel/ chromel thermocouple, comes with a threaded collet and mounted in five min just aft of the turbo exhaust discharge in the exhaust pipe, EASY INSTALL!? get the long lead option. its programmable and can do EGT, OAT water temp and volts depending...
I can assure you that who ever the potential culprit was, He was not in the Air Force, ( Air Force makes one account for every single round, if your short its a Report of Survey, ) In advertent discharges less than Fifty cal there is **** to pay, if its a 30 mm round or a "misbehaving Mav...
Good Trailers, well built, will wig wag a little at 70 on the interstate, Pull wonderfully behind a M 35 or 109, added a set of extension, loading ramps hung on the tie down rings and use it to haul a Gama Goat or my f 250.
Thanks M 38 in maine for posting the pics to the thread, I still haven't figured out how to do it. I just installed the PTO for the winch and have the dog house all out. The fuse / breaker panel mounts right back under the radio on four bolts with spacers, stays secure and doesn't really take...
but in answer to you question, if you treat them right they last last last ( 5000 hours was about right for a TF 34 100 A) , tiny turbines get a lot of abuse, GTCP 36-50s ran to failure, but generally about 4 to 5 hundred hours between major breakdowns and component changes, Get A 71 A from a H...
No not at all, your missing the imperitive, Jet engines used in aircraft use Jet I as the fuel source,and have to have controllability and atmospheric change envelopes, Power plant turbines are static and vary little in operating RPM The turbines used in power plant operations use LNG ect as...
not nessacarily, what model of GTCP do you have in your unit, I assume you have a 397, or 71A or Gtcp 36-50 or something along those lines. Some of the older power units use basic engine control system , usually a centrifulgal 3 speed switch . Franks picture is a fuel nozzle cluster for a can...
last I noticed the AF book of replacement cost pegged a F 100/129 engine used in the F16 at around 4.2 million with core exchange. ( yup even the AF does core exchanges lol ) the fuel control alone for some engines runs in the low 1 million range to 2.3 million each, and one person can lift it...
