    Homemade Load Bank

    x 12, that would be a birdsnest of wiring. 60kw + 10%, so say 70kw should do a good load. So why is it so much fun to make these machine work? I mean all we are doing is converting fuel to heat, but its oh so much fun. I did get the proper tool for the proper job, just needs to be delivered...

    MEP-806A won’t flash/excite

    Am I missing something here, the batteries should have 24vdc, but if the engine is running it should be 27.5-28.5.

    Can we add the tire treads from 1 to the back (or front, whichever is opposite of logo) of 5? To all those who participated, this was a very difficult vote. There is much talent out there amongst us green iron nuts.

    Homemade Load Bank

    I was more curious about how you switched the load on/off, cb's would do it just fine. I will probably go with a 3ph heat unit like LitD suggested, I have an old 200amp distribution box to use as switching, unless the heaters come with cb's...

    Homemade Load Bank

    csheath, can you scribble me a schematic for this? What did you use for switches for the different load? Did you only run single ph? I have a 30kw load, but I need a 60kw for a MEP006A, so building one is cheaper that buying, or even renting a load tester that large.

    M970 Trunnion flip for leveling purposes

    OK, its freezing time so AMi got drained to keep from freeze busting valves. Now is the time to do maintenance. Problem. Trailer runs uphill due to AMi being a M916 and not a M915 or M931, to the tune of about 13in difference front high. Attempted solution: 1600/20's, failed, tire is too...

    For those who care to know the back story on how AMi came to be in our stables. She was never intended to be, we had a more than capable 5T that would pull a tanker just fine. We were returning from a car show and someone else was not paying attention, 5T died a glorious death to protect its...

    Is this machine new to you? Has it ever produced correcto power? Do you think the engine is running at the correct RPM? When you attempt to adjust voltage up, did you try to adjust voltage down? I will add more later, gotta run
