    My M1078 Gun Truck

    I ended up finding the 1919A4 that I was looking for and grabbed it; https://www.youtube.com/shorts/BKlQ4xsbY8Y Everything mounted up good but I needed to tweak it a little better.

    My M1078 Gun Truck

    Everyone, Didn't realize that there was a dedicated forum on here for trucks that have guns mounted on them! Anyways, when I got my M1078, I always planned to get a gun mounted on it. After getting the truck running and working properly, I found an M66 and installed it; Took a bit...

    M66 stuck ring turret

    I take it you have this in a FMTV from the picture? Did it move free before you mounted it or was it on there when you got the truck? Is the gasket on there? I installed one on my truck and found a few things that made it snag;

    MK23 Gun Truck

    Cool truck. I knew from the start with my budget that I'd never be able to get anything "modern" on my gun truck build. So I did an 1919A4 with a crankfire. Had to modify a cradle a bit but it works fantastically and didn't cost an outrageous amount. Keeping it fed is a different story.

    MEP-804B Single Phase Use Questions

    I would, but I have no data on my well motor. I have the original make/model, but the company was purchased 5 times and the data has since been lost. I do water/wastewater and usually can track that stuff down. Company that took over ultimately only kept old data for 5 years. So I don't know for...

    MEP-804B Single Phase Use Questions

    I just went and looked up some transformers. It isn't as bad as I expected for a 50 amp rated one. I'd need to do two of them as I'd split the load across all three legs. Here is a 50 amp...

    MEP-804B Single Phase Use Questions

    This was the simple explanation I needed. I learned something important today, thank you! This makes TOTAL sense to me now. Never fully understood by 240v had 2 wires in some cases but not in others. A transformer would be nice but I'm on a budget.

    MEP-804B Single Phase Use Questions

    I didn't mention ground for simplicity but of course, yes, grounding wires are a MUST. I do sound a but dumb with these question but I promise I'm not that dumb, haha. So, I would NOT use it in 240/416 mode, I would use it in 120/208v mode? But then I may have the issue of running 208v to...

    MEP-804B Single Phase Use Questions

    Everyone, I thought I had it figured out, but I am second guessing myself and I am supposed to go pick the generator up tomorrow. My goal is to use this for backup power at the two houses on my property. They are on separate panels of 240v but on the same meter. I understand that the...

    M1083A1 Starting Issues

    At least you found the problem for sure now! I can't help you on the rebuild, I just know it can be done. Have an extra one someone gave me here that is an unknown condition with what they said was a rebuild kit for it that I just put away for a day that I might have nothing to do..... yeah...

    Oh yeah, the muffler will hold a lot of crap in it for a while.

    M1083A1 Starting Issues

    Might need to rebuild the fan clutch itself then? There is a kit for it.

    The official 2022 Southeast Military Vehicle Rally information thread (the event formerly known as the Georgia Rally). This is gonna' be awesome!

    I just got back for a 4,700 mile cross country trip with 90 hours of driving. I think I will plan on being there with my M1078 next year.

    M1083A1 Starting Issues

    If anything, you know that you will have 0% solenoid issues now. These old solenoids are bound to have a problem. Glad the videos were helpful! It sucks doing something for "nothing" sometimes, but, at least you know this will be a good part "forever".

    I'd like to go, but it would be more drive time than rally time for me. 50 mph in the M1078 all the way there will take a while. Hmm.

    MEP-531A not working due to electrical issues

    I have been messaging back and forth with FarmingSmallKubota, and he has a bunch of machines with multiple problems that he's going through at one time. I think he was just trying to post similar problems in similar threads to avoid duplicates, not confuse anyone... though, I can see how it...

    Harris PRC-152 VAA Project

    Someone on another website shared this thread with me. I was hoping to get SOME of the function for my TRI to work with the mount, but I guess not. At least it will charge the battery and hold it while looking authentic. I guess the best I can hope for is the gut the inside of the mount and...
