    Zwick compressor and engine oil?

    Thanks Jim The TM calls for the same oil in both the compressor and engine. "LUBRICATING OIL, Internal combustionengine, heavy duty, MIL-L-2104, Grade 30" I'll give the non-detergent 30w a try.

    Zwick compressor and engine oil?

    What type of oil is called for in the small Zwick compressor and engine, Wisconsin I believe. I have only seen a reference to a mil-L-2104 which looks to be a single 30 grade synthetic. Is there a better or easier to find equivalent? What's everyone using?

    Trailer Air Brakes for a Heavy Duty Pickup

    Can the following be used? How would it be different from operating an electronic brake controller on a trailer with electric brakes? http://www.amazon.com/Operated-Trailer-Brake-Control-Valve/dp/B00881QU4I/ref=sr_1_67?ie=UTF8&qid=1386712153&sr=8-67&keywords=air+brake+valve

    General Consensus on Loading a trailer (Weight Displacement)

    Non commercial for sure. I do not have a CDL but am considering one for other projects. I will not be going long distances either unless I have found a new fangled way to haul stuff home from govliquidation. :naner: I'll be pulling the M720 loaded with a forklift, within 10 miles. My tow rating...

    General Consensus on Loading a trailer (Weight Displacement)

    So what is the answer in this case? I have a 4000lb tow rig and a 6000lb M720 with functioning brakes. As this is an abnormal towing method, I have found nothing on the pitfalls or cautions.

    M720 brake?

    Ha, no kidding, where are my manners? I'll have to get some posted today. If I can figure it out that is.

    Thanks! Mine rolled just fine, albeit a little squirmish.

    M720 brake?

    Do the air/hydraulic brakes on an M720 activate with loss of air pressure? Or, will it roll without air supply from the tow vehicle?

    Ft Riley, two small items, on two pallets, need off base, car registration trouble.

    I've got a pallet jack and a dual wheel dolly that need taken of base. I have a new car from out of state and either the sheriff inspection or the tax office goofed my registration numbers. A thorough guard will catch it and not allow me onto base. I can meet to pick up the items outside...

    MEP-016D fuel tank and starter?

    Thanks for the info and tips! I'll try the 12V jump start. The tank I have is steel and wanted a used replacement but if the tank has brazed fittings, I'll brush up on my torch technique and attempt the swap.

    MEP-016D fuel tank and starter?

    Has anyone tried a 12V to 24V transformer on the starter? And are there and suggestions on a replacement fuel tank? The filler neck was distorted enough on mine to require a new cap, filter and tank. I've only found standard replacements without the extra taps and such.
