    Wc/m37 brakes

    Thanks for the lead, my shoes are fine and just need relined, the lining listed on the above listed site is for the 11 inch. I am pretty sure mine are 14 inch. I will call and see if he has the 14 inch lining. Thanks again.

    Wc/m37 brakes

    Guys, Has anyone found a crossover number or local supply for the brake shoes on a WC or M37? I started looking and I can't believe the prices of 28-35 dollars a shoe. Maybe I am reading it wrong but I was pretty sure that's what was listed. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Jim

    Manual flash on mep 003

    Since the set showed no voltage output at first following the tech man and advice from the guys I thought I would try it. After the set was running, I turned the start switch from run back to start. It made a loud grind as the starter tried to re-engage the flywheel. Perhaps I did not have it...

    Manual flash on mep 003

    Mep 3 starting procedure

    Ok, it now runs and makes power. I replaced the HZ gauge and it now works. I checked it against the Kill a Watt meter and I have it set. I see now what you mean about the throttle moving the Hz around. Now I just need to clean everything up and get it wired in. Thanks for all the help:smile: Jim

    Mep 3 starting procedure

    Roger that. I am going to try to pick up a gauge and if that still isn't working I will need to get the transducer. I have been wading through the TM's that are posted in the tech section, and now that I am off 3rd shift for a while maybe they will make more sense. I aplogise if some of the...

    Mep 3 starting procedure

    Ok, I checked my multimeter and it does not dhow HZ. I will try to get one tomorrow. If I can't find one I will look for the Kill a watt thing. With that test it should rule out the panel gauge as being faulty as well.
