Fantastic, glad you're up and running now.... Might as well fix L3-L0 while you're at it, some day you might need it, plus if you ever decide to sell it you have a machine that works correctly in all configurations. Not anal retentive, It's just taking pride in your work and doing things the...

Bross, any news yet? Just wondering if you've made any additional headway?

A couple things I would consider before making your decision: Privacy, if its a sleeping bunk, make sure you have a comfortable level of privacy. Security, make sure it can't be easily opened by "unauthorized" personnel from the outside. Safety, if its glass, make sure you use tempered glass...

Yup, they can! There is a company here in RI that prints in all sorts of plastics of all durometers. Probably not silicone, but definitely other compounds that would work equally well if not better. They can even vary the component ratios "on the fly" so that you can print a part with defined...

Although a bit more pricey, I wonder if HDPE or other plastic instead of particle board would eliminate the need for the glue and wax? Definitely looks stronger than I had expected, good job!

WOW! a free 5 Ton, even with a bad motor you still scored big! I bet there are more than a few who paid decent money and also got a bad motor! Good luck , and welcome to SS.

Sounds to me like your reconnection switch is either acting up or is miswired. The TM shows all the jumper connections and where they should be. I'd try loosening the 1/4" bolts that secure the sections of the switch together, spray some WD-40 between the sections then work the switch knob back...

Woodsplinter, before you give up and repaint you can try either a light wetsanding in an inconspicuous area with 3000+ grit paper. sand in straight lines, not circles. I've also heard of people using 000 steel wool or an ultra fine scuff pad in a bucket of water with a little dish soap and...

Actually that Ratwax is WAY more affordable that the German?? stuff I was referring to! But, like it says, "its not wax and you can't wax a satin finish" but it does add a UV resistant layer! If you plan to store your deuce outside, go with a good quality satin clearcoat automotive finish and...

Absolutely do not try the wax thing. It will ruin your new paint job! You'll only end up with problems using wax over a satin, semi and especially flat finishes. The wax will get stuck in the slight (microscopic) porous surface and turn hazy white the first time it gets wet and then dries again...

The Gillespie is probably a single component alkyd enamel. Putting anything 2K or lacquer based over it may cause problems depending on the age of the Gillespie. A couple things you can do when faced with a reaction problem between paints: Apply a sealer between the 2 products and apply the new...

When I looked up a parts schematic for a 218 it does not show a pump, but every schematic I see for a 242 does shows a pump, item 24 below. Each one I looked at says used on Jeep Dodge Hummer etc., so, are they talking civilian Hummer's only? I know there are several different versions of the...

The 242 does have a pump, the 218 does not. Slow speeds on the back roads you might get get lucky and be ok without pulling the shafts but for the sake of a few minutes it would be well worth your time to pull them. At highway speed it doesn't take long to melt down the aluminum parts of a...

It sounds like you are getting fuel into the engine and seeing that ether didn't make any difference maybe the problem is not fuel delivery? It looks like that engine has an automatic decompression feature that holds the exhaust valve open until the engine is spinning, any chance the mechanism...

I'm not that familiar with the -004 and up but It sounds like you may have a fuel supply problem going to the IP. I've seen other types of equipment with similar problems caused by clogged or closed vents on fuel tanks and/or restrictions in the fuel lines/filters. Would it be possible to...

From what I can find the MEP-802A would have been put on a LTT-MCC trailer, which I think is similar to the M1101/M1102 trailer. The smaller M116, which is similar to a M101 would probably work just fine too. I think those were originally used for the MEP-002/003A but might have been used for...

You can have a return line made up easy enough at any hydraulic supply house or NAPA. Looks like you may be missing an adapter at the IP, but the line itself is 1/4", the tank end is a -4AN female swivel or #4 JIC female swivel. Looks like the pump itself right now is a 1/4" NPTF (hard to tell...

Hi John, your machine is a Letterkenny reset, so who knows what they may have assembled incorrectly! If you have trouble checking the IP I can help you if I see you Thursday night, but Ddmk18 and jamawieb seem to have it covered.

I almost suggested "Jim's" meters too but couldn't recall which Jim and couldn't find the add in the classifieds.... so I left it alone... unfortunately Rusty fell into the trap instead... :oops:

When the units are reset they get a metal tag riveted to the machine that lists the date of reset, who reset it and the hours on it when it was reset. Often times they are freshly painted when reset. I'd be willing to bet Blue and white stickers do not mean it has been reset already.... it...
