ALCO - honorary steam locomotives

I have one yet to install. Claims to work for multiple vehicles including M37. Out of stock at Eriks. Maybe give them a call? Google is giving me nothing. https://www.eriksmilitarysurplus.com/liswadcafrma.html

My experience a couple years back you are better off with a good used take-off. Bought one NOS from TNJ Murray and it did not fit. Was close but just not quite right. TNJ swapped me out for a good used take-off which worked. Of course long term this is not a viable solution...so it's a valid...

If it leaks from the top of the fitting you might be Ok. Mine leaked from where the fitting screws into the head.

The truck will run pretty good with a leak from a crack. Take a good look at #3 after you get it cleaned up. Seems to be a common failure point. As mentioned above, if it leaks around the fitting it is usually a crack and it cannot be repaired. The viton seals go under the head itself. If it...

Maybe the 8th circuit is for the receptacles on the front of the unit?

Movie "The Outpost" about the battle of Kamdesh had a lot of footage where the HUMVEE's are used as machine gun posts. Looks like the armored ones could take a hell of a beating from small arms fire...

Looks to me like it has 7 single phase 15A 120V connections and one 3 phase connection. Probably pretty useful on a jobsite.

I was curious as well. One type charges a capacitor after opening and uses that stored power to close the valve when you cut the power. Some energy is needed to maintain the charge in the cap...but less then maintaining a solenoid in the open position it appears.

Love that dump truck. Any more information available on that?

Benefit of the electric switch, you can tie it into the ignition, which seems to be the first thing everyone is going to in this emergency...not much thinking needed. Normally closed I imagine is a spring return. Relatively fail-safe. As for price, typically items available from McMaster-Carr...

If you are adding a remote reservoir to your master cylinder you will delete the vent line. If you are keeping it original the line connects to the slobber tube unless I am mistaken. Runs into a "T" and then to the slobber tube. I think the other side of the "T" is a fuel tank vent.

Yes you are right - my mind slipped on that one. Steel nuts.

This might work. Rated for continuous duty. Interesting concept.

If the nuts you have are brass I would say yes. I can't remember what I had on the original lines but I used new ones when I did the cunifer.

Might be able to remove the flame heater nozzle from the manifold and activate it without start to see if it is spraying fuel.

These would work on M123 10 ton trucks I believe...not sure the values.

Yes I almost made this error when I purchased new group 31's a couple years ago. It sounds good but regular batteries are correct for our application.

What else can you do? Rotate the batteries occasionally?

I have had it off by carefully selecting a 6 point socket that fits.
