    MEP 802A Fix-up Thread

    I ended up getting a second trailer mounted MEP-802A but it had a seized motor, so it will be parted out. I expected it to be no good, as it was already missing a lot of parts, but it was cheap enough. After taking it down, I found that it could have been saved, but I didn't want to spend the...

    M1061 Tires, any vendors out there?

    That's pretty good. I started searching for them. Have some bids in on one locally. If I get it, tires are always the first thing that I change out on auction stuff. I'm sure local tire shops will always beat an online price. Thanks!

    M1061 Tires, any vendors out there?

    That is for a 16 inch rim, not a 16.5 inch rim. It came up when I was searching as well & I wish it could fit.

    M1061 Tires, any vendors out there?

    Thanks for this information. Prices have gone up, but it's still an option.

    MEP-016B injector pump repair/rebuild issues

    I would not even bother pulling the injector at this point if you are getting white smoke coming out the intake. I would check valve seating , timing, and adjustment. Of course, doesn't hurt to do it all.

    VIC to Cellphone Adapter and Military Radio Digital Modes Adapter

    This link doesn't work. Is the thread gone? I'm interested in both possibly.

    MEP-016B injector pump repair/rebuild issues

    It has been a while since I worked on one of these, but if I remember, the bypass is before anything gets into the pump... the extra that goes back to the tank just does a 90deg turn or something. So, it would lead me to belive there is not enough fuel getting there. Air trapped in the line...

    Fan Clutch Solenoid Aftermarket Replacement

    Good work! The port size is so close I don't think it will be an issue. Mine has cycles probably 2,000 times since I have installed it. With that being said, it certainly won't hurt to do this and bring it to where it was. If it was a full 1/4 inch port size, I'd be worried about it being to...

    M116A3 Fix-up & Conversion Thread

    Spend a little time with the trailer since I needed to work on the generator a bit. Had one of the breaking caps that would leak grease bad. Replaced it and painted both the hubs. https://amzn.to/3RB9gJ0 Painted some spots where the paint came off and put the updated tire pressure where it...

    MEP 802A Fix-up Thread

    Funny, it has been so trouble free I didn't realize I was way past due for an oil change! I'm at 618 hours now. After using it this past weekend, I realized I needed to change the oil and spend a little time with it doing some minor things to it along with the trailer, but I will only talk...

    LMTV Spicer bolt thread

    This is incorrect. It is not 18mm 1.5. It is 5/8 18 but not regular thread or NPT. I think it is ORB thread type but am still trying to figure it out myself for sure. ORB makes sense though since it is all made from hydraulic fittings.

    Yikes, didn't realize that.

    Sounds like just working it like you have is the best bet then. Good luck!

    MEP-804B Single Phase Use Questions

    Everyone, Thank you for the input everyone. I decided to not go get it, even though it was a REALLY good deal. I don't want to take the chance with 208v. It would probably be okay, but at times I run for a day or so on generator power to put a good load on and keep load off the grid on peak...

    MEP-804B Single Phase Use Questions

    I understand all about the neutral bonding and how it needs to only be in one place. I'd be hooking up through my two houses main panels, so the neutral bond and grounding will be taken care of already at the panel. Side note; on my MEP-802A, I put a protected switch to quickly make the bond on...

    M66 stuck ring turret

    If I recall, to really get it lubricated properly, you need to remove it from the truck and flip it, then take it apart. Somewhere on this forum I read that is how someone got theirs freed up good.

    M66 stuck ring turret

    Mine was very smooth and just had one small snag spot after install that was due to a bend in the cab that bad the gasket bulge and rub on some of the hardware. I pointed it out in the video. Only other issue is I'd like the brake handle to hold a bit better.

    MK23 Gun Truck

    Oh, and I also wanted an MTVR because I'm a Marine. But again, those cost to much. So, I'm in an LMTV. So, I hate you. :coffee::giggle:

    I plan to make a video very soon going over my whole setup in the turret. Until then, this is quick video of shooting from on the truck;
