    M916A1 battery alternative configuratons

    Yea agree why. Ray said he has 12-24 volt charging without converter. My 915A2 has the step down converter 24 to 12 The only thing if he wanted he could install the emergency cut of switch for that 24 volt starter line or just be sure it is not rubbing metal or it is supported correct.

    Yea I could hook it to the 373 trailer with the 915 hooked to the 373 and leave town. Truth if it ever came time to worry about it all falling apart I would be best to stay at home. Lake for fish, Canadian Geese, Gator, and water to flush the John plush wash my dirty butt. Then If I took out a...

    Yea I thought about a transfer switch installed to the house but think I will just use it for well and RV. I do not want to light up my house and every else in the neighborhood is with out power. They will want to come to my place eat my food and drink all my beer plus party all night long. I...

    3 or 4 finger pressure plates

    Reading ALL of the TM it says if the pressure plate was resurfaced! I never planned to take apart the pressure plate and rebuild it from scratch like the TM said. I just ordered new. New no adjusting is what I did and no problems. Yep correct adjusting of linkage and you can leave the inspection...

    M916A1 battery alternative configuratons

    .Yea my 915A2 has the 24 volt red kill switch / button to stop any major short in that big line. They do / can start a nice fire. My computer is wired just to 12 volt side and it always has a small draw. I just keep all batteries charged 24 volt or disconnect my two grounds and charge the...

    Yea thanks running amps are lower. Was worried about the starting amp and the well is on a 30 amp house breaker. I did look inside of a box on the Genny and it has a capacitor in line. Like you said should be ok but I am only using it for the well on 240 so guess I covered my azz well on that.

    CIVI Gen. thoughts.

    Yea got that I could run both at the same time but my well at 240 and 30 amps eats up almost all my watts if I understand. The 240 has a plug installed buy the guy I bought it from. I installed the 30 amp 120 RV outlet for my RV . So two different outlets. The switch I bought will handle 60 amps...

    65 Kaiser M35A2 project starts

    If I remember the last front left and right ones had the springs To bad I just trashed the front springs and bolts that you need for the flexing. Yea looks like someone just did a u bolt thing.

    OK got the 30 amp RV plug wired correct. Last question. Myself and now my son knows not to run both 120 and 240 at the same time. But if anyone else gets hold of it I wanted to wire in this transfer switch so after the main you can only draw on where the switch is. Will this switch hold what I...

    M916A1 battery alternative configuratons

    Well at least you have a fuse. Myself battery fuse then wire not battery some extra wire then fuse. Dang squirrels, rats and mice chew always want to chew up the sheathing. That is why I feed my squirrels. Rats and mice I leave to the cat.

    M916A1 battery alternative configuratons

    My 916, 920 and 915 had that same blue wire for 12 volts. I never did understand why there was never a fuse on that line. My 920 I installed a fuse inline right after the battery close to the terminal. Bit off topic but the coolant to fuel line heat exchanger needs to be bypassed.

    CIVI Gen. thoughts.

    The guy wire in correct this two outlet 120 and the GFI outlet I believe was already there. I can leave the GFI but I do not need the line he put in. I rather redo it with the flex conduit and a 30 amp 120 receptacle for the trailer. 30 amps is more than enough for the trailer as it is just the...

    Yes 120 only for my military 373 trailer that is set up to just live in if there is a power outage here. I have a Honda 3 k gas engine that I used when I went to different rallies. It ran everything I needed. Now I am not going to drag the 373 trailer anywhere it just sits next to the carport...

    More pics. Has both 2 inch ball or flip and pintle hook up. If all I can get is my 30 amps I am more than happy as now if I loose power I can still take a shower or have running water. Then at night I can keep the 373 trailer going plus the fridge. If I can increase the main breaker and that 10...

    OK do not know a thing about any of them. I bought this old diesel light tower that has been converted to just power. Kohler and she runs at 1800rpm. The guy I got it from wired up a 240 volt plug and two 120 plugs . My data tag says 67 amps 120 and 33 amps 240. Now the light tower has the main...

    5 ton expando vs. extra long wheelbase cargo.

    Is there a reason you want X military truck to start with? The Exp. van box is heavy plus everything you carry in it has to be put back into the middle for transport. So you bathroom will have to be forward middle. The Exp. van on the 809 series has fiberglass insulation and when it get wet it...

    Run away LDS mutifuel engine.

    This is one of the reasons we leave the shut down cable / handle pull out when we leave the truck. If you had done that and the fuel control unit assembly is stuck it just would not have started. Much less of a problem to check / fix a stuck / sticky fuel control assembly. If I go to help...
