Thanks guys, that's very good to know.
When the IP is out, is it safe to move it in reverse to get it back to where it was, or does it need to be rotated forward only?(and 2 turns to avoid being 180* out?) Is it apparent when I have it out which way it should turn?
Thanks
The linkage moves, but what is the nut with the slot in the stud adjusting?(that is below the linkage)? If that is supposed to move ... it doesn't. There is a spring behind it, that could be attached to that stud.
I can't see back in there. The spring loaded shaft, and the lever below it that...
From what I understand I should not have turned the engine over with a wrench. By doing this my understanding is I would have damaged the IP if it was stuck, and it would not have made a difference how far I turned it.
Being that it is already damaged, or it is operable, an unknown, is there...
The picture of the trailer hitch shows the line from the control box w/breakers entering the main box in the front. I'm wondering if this setup would also allow me to use the L1,L2,L3,L0 with the control knob on the dash?
The linkage looks complicated. The spring loaded shaft moves up and down. It was sticky at first. I think I'm looking at the right thing. I think there is a stop at the bottom that's adjustable, and a solenoid that allows the throttle to move when it's running with oil pressure.
When I turned...
I have the Bosch pump, it has the screw.
The 1st thing I did when I pulled it out of the woods was to see if the engine was stuck. If it was stuck, I would have parted it, or scrapped it, and not bothered with all the cleaning, buying filters etc. My mistake.
With that JD tractor IP...I found...
I did drain the old fuel, but I've left the IP alone. I put a wrench on the engine, and it isn't stuck, so it has that much going for it. The old fuel was clean, but amber in color. I'm not sure if you're saying I should remove the IP, but I'm not qualified to do a rebuild.
I had a JD tractor...
My generator seems to be set up differently than most. I don't think mine uses the line selector switch. Everything is like a convenience plug. I haven't counted how many it has, but there are 3 cord retractors and a post with more plugs. It is trailer mounted.
One of my concerns is the...
I do the same thing. Sometimes I hope they don't go too cheap, or I'll be tempted to bid when I don't really want another one. You know once these dry up the prices will rise like they did with the M101a2 trailers.
I did bid on one of those with the tarp in the back at the beginning of the auction, and someone bid until they went over my $950 top. I figured whoever was on top knew what they had, and doubted they were going to stop at the $700 my minimum bid would need to be. Out of curiousity how high...
I almost bid on that one, but I already had 2. There were a couple in that lot that had the top and hardware in the bed, but they didn't show if it was all there, or not. Decided to let it go knowing it was better than the ones I already bought. That road going in there is more a motorcross...
2nd question, upon looking over the unit it has 4 air bags. They all look old, but one is older and harder than the others. Are there replacements available?
Thanks
They all look the same except for the paint. There seems to be 2 main builders, or at least the 2 that I see most. Sometimes I will see one go for much more than another for no apparent reason, which had me wondering if there was something I should know. I want to get one. The price seems to be...
So I bought a M720 and brought it home yesterday. It was about a 4hr trip at 60mph counting stops to check on it. It tracked perfectly but one tire was cracked from being flat a very long time. Blew it up to 50#'s and hoped for the best since Les Schwab Tires didn't carry any in stock.
There is...
Don't forget the flashlight!
But seriously, I can't find much out about them. I don't think they get used too much. I did watch a video(YouTube) on a M720 with a shelter. It was helpful, but not anything in how the 2 dollies differ.
The shelter I have does have the attachment points for the M720...
Thanks for the links. It's odd that the picture on the M832 link is of the M720. They also mention mechanical lockout struts for the M720. What are those? I have tried to figure out how the M832 attaches, because it looks quite different than the M720. It looks like the M832 is wider. That and...
Is there mounting hardware that is specific to each model, and the differences such that the shelter is built for only one of the dollies? I'm having trouble finding info on attachments, and why there are 2 different dollies. Thanks
I was just going to put my shelter in the back of my Deuce, but then thought it may be interesting to have the option to tow it. I do have a M1028 but wasn't thinking I would use that. The weight of the S-280 wouldn't be too much to tow by either truck, but without brakes not too good. A surge...
