I got around to taking the LED turn indicator bulb apart and swapped the leads so the body is + and the tip is neg. Just desolder the tip, pull the shell off and swap the leads. Because I already had the bulbs....

I already had the bulbs I used, and the resistors were free, so no I didn't order more bulbs.

I've been waiting to post this until I actually do it and take pics but here's the plan. I fooled around with some resistors in parallel with the LED to increase the current draw since the LEDs were't enough to make the flasher operate. Totally going from memory but I think that 800 Ohms was...

Damn...and I thought I was going to see pictures of a AN/UGC-74

Is that a stand-alone AC on the roof or is it run off a compressor on the engine?

Welcome. Be prepared for a wealth of knowledge. And maybe get beat up a little if you ask something asked/answered. I'm still a newbie. But if you need to know it, it is answered here.

Very nice! I put the troop seats on the M998 and have brackets for the trailer so I think I'm going to do something like Mainsail did. Cheaper than another set of seats.

Hi Mogman, I'm pretty new to all of this. I have a 3 speed M998 and I thought those were only required for the 4 speed or "park" version shifter or something. I could be wrong just like when I thought replacing the incandescent bulbs with LEDs was a simple swap! This forum is extremely...

I was adding a backup camera and monitor and thought it would be nice to control it with the reverse switch instead of manually turning it on/off.

IDK, because it's cool? This was the early 80's. Maybe it never became real. Yeah I just need reliable quiet diesel.

Trying to save money. Found the proper thread pitch for neutral safety and reverse switches on a forum here (can't find the thread now :(. Bought a NSS from the auction site. Sourced a $7 bushing from mc master carr PN 90245A077 which is a 3/4-16 to 9/16-18 threaded insert adapter. Just need...

I've thought about the water buffalo but damn those things are heavy and we're pretty hilly. We don't have natural gas but I do have a 500 gal diesel tank for tractors etc so diesel fueled gen is ideal. I seem to remember the army had some kind of mini turbine generator years ago that would...

We were on the beach in NJ for Sandy. 40 KW natural gas Generac ran for weeks until we got power. I now have a farm in Virginia and the 803 is intriguing but I need something uber reliable for cattle waterer pumps and not a project. Since it would be mainly for well pumps I've also thought...

By trial and error I made some ribs for a cover mounting to the troop seat brackets. I believe these fit the trailer too. You will need extensions to get to full trailer cover height. Start with a 10' x 3/4" EMT conduit (yes this is not as heavy duty as the proper conduit/tubing) Make a mark...

Well I tried Hagerty online. $407. So I called in. They said what do you use it for? I said towing a trailer, going to the co-op, parades, farm use, etc. They said sorry, that doesn't fit the category of collectible, we can't help you. What do you guys tell them???

The problem is that there are 3 state roads through my property and I cross or use the roads at times. It is not required to be registered (GVWR >7,500 lbs), but needs general liability per the new VA state laws if used on the road at all. I really don't want to register it as a on-road...

Long story short my insurance company will insure every shade of wheeled and tracked unregistered vehicle on my farm under my general liability. Except for my M998. Heads exploding. We need the 17 digit VIN. None. We need the registration. It's not registered and doesn't need to be...

There is life after a key switch and a step drill. Machined a little step bushing, put the original switch back in (after two failed key switches). FWIW, current is about 2 A on the running leg, peak current I saw on the start leg was 14A, but mine starts right up. Don't know what a long...

I went the keyed route from fed mil parts. The first one had loose terminals. They replaced it. The second one with fairly little use failed and was unreliable. Starter remained engaged after releasing switch, etc. Heading a different route now. Injector disconnect or something.

Made a ramp and put these guys out. They like hanging out underneath. Didn't chew the light wires. Just fooling around.
