They did not want to mess with international shipments because there can be serious problems for businesses if they violate the ITAR regulations. The deuces went out on EUC's (End Use Certificates) and some dealers are not sure exactly what part might be considered 'arms dealing'. Then there...
And you need to come to the GA MV Rally in November, even if you don't have any green (pink) iron by that time. You will get a lot more info on the ins and outs of this hobby face to face.
Most of the kits that I've seen have the line up to the remote go in the place of the vent cap and lead up through the floor to an area on the left side of the driver's seat on the back wall, almost level with the top of the cab wall. If you are going deeper than that, you will need a deep...
Gone by there a couple of times, picking up stuff from Mechanicsburg. Was not far from there back in the early 70's, sitting on Lamb's Knoll for a week at a time.
The AC startup draw is more than the generator can handle with the other loads that are already on. Startup amperage/wattage is usually double what the 'running' amount is. For example, if you have a 3 KW generator, and the A/C draws 10 amps running, but 20 amps to start, and you are already...
Are there any trade schools near to you? If so, and they teach some machinist courses you might be able to talk to a teacher about fabricating a set of the wrenches using the drawings I posted. You have all the dimensions necessary for fabrication, you just need someone local to make them!
If it is GI, then the same studs and nuts fit everything from the WWII CCKW, through the M44 series deuces and 800 series five tons. The 2.5 ton's use six, the 5 tons use 10. If your wheels have been replaced and now have different studs, you will have to measure them.
Then add in shipping to 'down under' and the waterjet solution (and the critical specs for the inside dimensions) looks a lot better. I recently sent an 8 pound package to Poland and the shipping was $95 (it was a large package). When robomcduff needed some SAE impact sockets, it was actually...
If you have access to a waterjet , you could cut out the two wrenches you need to quickly adjust the belt out of sheet steel. or you could buy them and wait for the post to get them to you > https://midwestmilitaryequipment.com/compressor-wrench-set-m35a2-multi-fuel-m54-adjust-belt-military/ -...
download the form from the web site listed, fill it out and send your money in. - Or, start a conversation with Cabell (cgarbee) and he'll point you in the right direction. Hope to see you there!
Changing the compressor belt can be done without the wrenches, it's just a little more 'fiddly'. The compressor wheel is not a solid pulley, but rather two angled plates held together by the bolts. Step one, loosen the bolts so you can get the old belt off, step 2, put the new belt on, step 3...
