    Is there a way to save a link to a post after finding it using search forum?

    I recently searched the 5 Ton forum and found several posts that had exactly what I needed and was wondering if there was a way to save a link to the posts I found so that I could refer back to them? I've been using Internet Explorer's "Add to Favorite" so that I can refer back but maybe there...

    813A1 Primer pump fuel line fitting

    Can somone tell me if the primer pump fuel line fitting threaded into the bottom of the fuel pump (Cummins) are special fittings or over the counter part. From the attached drawing I think it's parts 10 & 11 that I need? I tried putting in a fitting which I believe was 1/4 inch with a...

    Looking for TM for 813A1

    With the resource link down I'm in need of TM's. I was able to get 9-2320-260-10 before the link was taken down but need more details. My emergency brake doesn't work and when I crawled under my truck I noticed what's left of a couple of e-brake springs that rusted away. I'd like to order...

    Frustrating 809-series sprag!

    Could someone please post a picture or diagram of lines to disconnect and plug? Would this also work for an 813a1? I'm wondering if this might solve my problem. I picked up my truck from GL last week and it seemed to be working fine on flat surface (air pressure fine)but when it was parked at...

    MEP-16A Output problem

    Thanks guys, the lights are 1,000watt metal hallide bulbs as called for in the TM. Is this what you mean by load factor? Help me on the float, when I took apart the carb (4 screws) there was a round hard off white or yellowed plastic "donut" shaped part that had clearance around its sides...

    MEP-16A Output problem

    Follow up, more fresh gas, I took the fuel filter apart and the screen was spotless. I then took the carb off and took it apart expecting to see some gunk. The carb was clean. Put it back together and followed the TM for adjusting and started it. The engine runs real strong and guages are...

    MEP-16A Output problem

    Does anyone have a copy of TM 5-2805-203 manual for engines. I don' t see it in the reference section. Not sure which is the main jet on the carb. I see a screw and a T handle. Thanks

    MEP-16A Output problem

    Ran the generator today and adjusted the speed adjustment screw and governor spring adjustment. I pegged the frequency gage right on 60Hz and it appeared the governor was working. Then fired up one light then the next. All looked good no flickers in the lights and the guages were where they...

    MEP-16A Output problem

    I attached a couple of pictures of the top of the engine, I'll run up the engine with two lights this morning to see what happens and post. What does WOT mean? Also, I've read the technical manual and see it say's set to govern. On the metal tab next to the govern knob I see it says "start"...

    MEP-16A Output problem

    While the volts appear steady at first, as the Hz drop and the load meter starts to rise, the volts start to drop down to about 100 where it stays. I've turned up the variable resistor but that doesn't seem to do anything. Regarding the battery, I took two 12v motor cycle batteries put them...

    MEP-16A Output problem

    I'm having issues with power output and looking for advice. I recently purchased my generator which starts right up and runs great (new carb, plugs, etc). After I let it warm up a bit and I get it settled on 60Hz and volts where they should be (gen is mounted on a light tower trailer) I turn on...

    Dash indicator light for convoy lights

    Ok got it, then what I think I'll do is fabricate a bracket (unless someone has an extra one like the airshift they want to part with) and mount it below the dash next to the convoy light switch and see if I can draw power out of one of open sockets in the back of the switch or create a Y splice .

    Dash indicator light for convoy lights

    Can someone tell me what the story is on the two indicator lights on the instrument panel with the metal caps? I bought an indicator light from Saturn with red lense in hopes of connecting this to my convoy lights to remind me their on. I thought I would just take the metal cap off and put in...

    M762 Light tower ballast source

    Thanks will do. I'd like to try to go the OEM route if possible. I have a 2x2 mounted plastic electrical box that a civilian electrician mounted and it contains all the electricals but am thinking of going back to OEM setup if the costs aren't prohibitive..
