Ratings are one thing, reality another. A lot like "The map is not the territory" Just a simple question: What brake HP is the engine in the genset rated at? An inrush amperage, even X5, will easily run over a hundred Amperes for a very short time. 100A X 230V = 23kW. At 760W per HP, that...

Thanks for the engine parts offer, I don't have a rig that runs one. If it were the Mack 673, I'd jump on it. Dennis

Over the years since '72, when I started driving my repowered M37 with a 318 V8, I put a lot of miles on it. I came to the realization, high engine/road speed eventually ate up the ring & pinion. It didn't break, it wore out the teeth. I found the same thing a few months later, with a Diesel...

I may have a deuce driveshaft. Not sure just what one it is, but if it is for an M35, you can have it for shipping. D

Looks a little like a WW2 Ber-Hur trailer with the axle exchanged.

Most of the 50's vintage tacticals were primed with red oxide primer at the factories. The real red stuff, not the modern brownish color. You can see it occasionally under the green (or blue or grey) topcoat on a rig that hasn't been apart for a long time. It binds like crazy to clean steel...

Same here. The Goodyear LTS wheel is the best, safest, and strongest ring design ever.

That is right. Overly simple...

If I remember correctly, the 6602 uses hard chrome cylinder liners and iron rings. Very tough to score them.

Indeed. It is really hard to navigate soft sand with hard tires. First thing you learn when living next to the largest dunes in North America. Isn't that the purpose of a CTIS system? Too lazy to push a button?

If your engine is really grimey, try EZ-Off oven cleaner spray. Let it set on for a while, then rinse off with water. Repeat. It can save a lot of effort...

Methinks that block is a later one with a full-flow oil filter.

If indeed being a 265cu engine, the water pump fan spacer will be missing to accommodate the longer block and the front motor mounts will be on the frame rather than the riveted brackets, al la the Canadian trucks.

The original T245 engine will have a bolt-on oil filler pipe, not one just pressed into a hole. Quite unique...

Single-phase motors can pull up to 600% of running current for the first couple seconds. Also check the cap for the correct uF and check for it being open or shorted with a VOM set on Ohms. If it is good, the reading should kick up at first, then fall to high ohms. Also, eBay has a lot of...

Doing commercial electrical work in a lot of high-power broadcast facilities, I've always tried to make things foolproof. The problem is fools are so damned ingenious! Many times I've changed my modus operandi to try and keep things safe.

A serious (not some plug-in job) surge protector wired to the output lugs will catch any transients over nominal voltage. As far as flickering upon load applications causing momentary undervoltage conditions, that will require a lot of external circuitry like a Sola transformer that will...

Nice work & technique.(y)

I'm going to be stripping a complete M35 rear tandem soon, so if someones spring pockets are really worn, mine may be better and can be had for the shipping.

Yeah Memphis was the outfit with the fiberglass tops like in post #8. Years ago I bought an M35 that they had customized with that top and an Allison 543. That top went to now departed Tom Kelly. The black plastic top was prolly made in a Mattel Vacuform from Hell.
