    M1028 A1 Contact Truck with M887 contact body and Wisconsin Generator

    The large silver box in the second photo is the overspeed relay box. I had issues with mine when I first bought it, turned out the clear relay on top was faulty. Swapped it out with one off a parts one a fellow SS'er had and she ran. Cant remember where I had found them before, but I believe...

    On a 5 gal tank, it will run roughly 4 hours straight. That's based on 4 hours of strictly welding around 100 amps on a 90* day. Only stop welding to chip slag, change rods, or dress something with a grinder.

    Couple more pics I moved the air compresser and set it on top of a old 11 gal air tank, for more capacity. I found while using an impact or air tools the small wall mounted wasn't enough. So I plumbed in the extra tank, as well as mounted the hose reel to the side wall. Its pretty empty right...

    Here's a couple pics. Originally the welder had a draw straw into the Dodge gas tank, and since M88x series get terrible mileage, and my gas gauge was inop, I modified the center left cabinet to hold a 5 gal boat can. It feeds into a spin on fuel filter, then feeds into the fuel pump on the...

    Yep, I've got oxy /acetylene tanks mounted. I've got a T tank of oxy that slides into the side door and lays right behind the genny itself, and an AC5 acetylene up front in the holder provided.

    On my M887, the battery was located up top, within the elec components. In your second pic, there's a large empty spot between the front of the box and the silver overspeed box, battery goes there. A group 31 fits nicely. I've seen on GSA/Forestry trucks they had cables run up front to run off...
