Thank you for the reply. Based on my interpreation of the TM 9-6115-643-24 section 1-12.1.7 the battle short switch will NOT override the engine overspeed circuit. Can anyone confirm this is true? It is definitely the overspeed circuit tripping and the A2 panel indicator illuminates...

I am helping a friend troubleshoot a recently purchased MEP-804A that randomly shuts down for an overspeed trip. Sometimes it trips almost immediately after startup and other times will run for 5+ hours. Sometimes it will actually trip immediately when cranking before the engine starts. I...

I have a leaking lift bag on my 920. The larger load bags are getting pretty weathered too so I figured it is probably time to replace them all. The 24P TM lists AM General as the parts supplier for parts #MA207-21233 and MA207-21234? I'm pretty sure Firestone makes the actual bags but mine are...

A big thank you to Eric and Brett at Surplus Transport for a job well done. They have plenty of feedback on the forums but they truly did an awesome job getting the forklift home to me during a really busy week. They kept in contact along they way and I'd gladly let them haul anything that they...

Bruce, I guess of sort of knew Joe. He lived literally 2 miles down the road and I always knew him as the guy with the army trucks when I was a kid. I believe he had really wound down his truck collection by the time I got into military trucks. He was a real local legend and in his declining...

I bought a non running, flat tired M4K forklift in Portsmouth and am looking for quotes on loadout and shipping to NJ, 08302. I think its a little heavy 10500lb for my little truck and it is a little farther away than I want to run the M920. Invoice paid and ready for loadout 5/2/13. If anyone...

I have purchased successfully registered and insured a couple of trucks and trailers in NJ. I have always gotten a title from Government Liquidation usually Florida or Arizona. My first truck was a M920. It is old enough (1980) the DMV did not care about the non 17 digit VIN and issue me a...

I have one and I don't remember it having any M designation in the ID tag. It is listed as Model SEGPRSM. I have a decent picture of the ID tag on my other computer and some other info I have gathered over the last year. If you have any specific questions about the chassis I can take some...

Well my dog wanted to go out and I was interested to see how my new camera would do in the dark, so here are some "side" pics of the engine. I didn't bother climbing in, maybe i'll try tomorrow Tom

I think the spacers might be needed for propper clearance for side to side oscillation. After moving my fifth wheel back and removing the spacers and confirming good swing clearance on level ground, I set my little brother free to go check out how much cool oscillation that kompensator fifth...

Well this is the only picture I have of the genset right now. I am pretty sure the enclosure was riveted together around the unit. This is the door located directly above the landing gear. The generator head is pretty good size it is almost as long as the V8. I am guessing 60+ KW (that...

Justin I performed the same top plate swap two weeks ago and boy has it made my 920 more useful. One of my friends gave me an entire holland air slide and top plate off an OTR tractor he scrapped and I ended up just using the top plate and making some pin bushings. A couple of things I...

I purchased a civilian lowbed trailer to tow behind my M920 and obviously either my truck or trailer will need some "modifications" in order to play nice. Recent developments, "seller's remorse," have led me to decide to I need to get the trailer picked up ASAP (Monday March 14, 2011). Does...

Thanks. I have been using that TM for most aspects of the trailer. The generator seems like one of the major changes between the SGPRSMD and the SEGPRSM. My trailer has a GM V8 diesel mounted across the tongue directly over the landing gear while the SGPRSMD has a White inline 6 mounted...

I have been hunting for TM 9-4940-559-14&P for my SEGPRSM and have had no luck finding a copy, I believe the TM is not yet released for distribution. My main point of interest is information on the genset. The trailer has a 6.2 GM diesel 220v 3 phase genset. The genset has not run since 1997...
