Well, I'm using the one manual I got.
So far I'm thinking the electronic governor or solenoid is junk, as in it's not allowing the IP to do it's job. Opening the panel and looking at the boards isn't very telling. No red lights on, no overspeed, no fault lights I can see. About to wash my...
I've gone to the Deere manual. So far I've cracked the fuel filter housing, and got some bubbly fuel out. I ran the primer till it was a steady stream. I primed again, then no start. Next I cranked the IP return line open, and primed the system, got quite a lot of fuel out, still no start...
Picked up a 2007 MEP-806B for our police department back in January. Unit has 13.6 hours on it according to the meter. John Deere won't fire up. Put fuel in it, showing nearly half a tank on the screen. Cleared the fault codes, put two new 850 CCA batteries in it, and still nothing. It will...
Well fellas I'm in the same boat. Picked this up from the DRMO in january. It has 13.6 hours on it. Starting to think the reason it was in demil was it's got a bad IP. It cranks and cranks, but won't fire except on the ether. I put two new batteries in it, thinking it might be sensitive to...

We have to have it two years before it can be liquidated. The problem is that I will not be...
Long time no see! My police department just got gifted a 60kW genset (we applied for a 15, got a 60....go figure). However we believe it may be a white elephant as the town utility guy says since it's three-phase it's worthless for backup power for our police station, or in fact any facility...
Among other things, I'm a collector of vintage emergency lights, such as Federal Signal, Dietz, Mars, etc. I bought a Mars Skybolt 12v rotator marked "US ARMY". It's a 12 volt light with a blue dome/plastic base. It uses two PAR36 sealed beam bulbs.
The trouble we are having, is...
For some reason I always thought the M1028 was a dually as the only other one here in town is a dually. The guy pointed out the differences while I was there. It was obvious that the truck was a 5/4 versus the M1008. Now I may be spoiled on 1028s only...
