I had terrible problems with mice eating the center out of my drivers seat on my M35A2. They were eating the canvas and foam rubber. I put Irish Spring soap on the center of the seat and to my surprise, the mice ate a big chunk out of the bar of Irish Spring soap. Obviously didn't work for...
M37s are neat trucks. I drove them in the Army and have driven several since, including one in an underground mine that had a Ford tractor diesel engine installed.
I have a 1998 M35A3 and the cap spring was very corroded when I obtained the truck from Sparta. I cleaned the rust off and covered everything with grease. It immediately corroded again. I replaced the cap with an NOS cap that looked perfect. I again coated the spring and everything on the...
You will need to remove the cover on the tower to get to the linkage. I had a similar issue when I first got my FLU419 only it impacted both swing pedals. In my case I had two problems. Problem #1 was the valve assembly had some surface corrosion on the valve rod that slides up and down. It...
I keep a NOCO 5 X 2 on my MEP003A batteries. It is one great battery charger / maintainer. You don't need to disconnect the batteries to hook up the charger.
Having 20' extensions is a very good idea. I've used my entire 35' on several occasions and it barely reached. My reel has exactly 35', but it barely fits on the reel with the cover installed. My hose has the following nomenclature stamped on it.

How long are the hydraulic hoses on other FLU419s? My reel is absolutely full, if not overloaded with hose. I measured my hoses and I have exactly 35 feet of double hose. I looked up the specs for the reel on my FLU419 and it stated that the reel is rated for 15 feet of double hose with the...
I don't understand why you would need 18 KW to run your house. I have a very large house, totally electric. I have an MEP003A, a 10 kw machine that feeds a 400 amp square D manual transfer switch. I don't have any load switching at all. We have frequent power outages because we live remotely...
I'm not saying you are incorrect as I am absolutely not an expert. However, I don't understand why using the transformer would keep the generator in balance if only two of the three legs are pulled from, the third leg has no load, and both of the legs pulling a load are likely to have different...
Have you checked with Expedition Imports? They have a large amount of FLU419 parts, a lot more than they have listed online. If it was me, I would keep it original.
My M1030M1 has a rifle rack across the handlebars. It has rubber Y-shaped holders with a rubber strap across each one. It also came with three RFID units, one on each side and one larger one on the handlebars. I've never seen another M1030M1 with a rifle rack. Mine was definitely USMC use.
