Nice upgrade, but kind of miss the general overview of all the "active" threads. Bet fewer people with view certain categories because they are no longer up front, then again I was happy with the original, years ago format....

The memory effect is taken care of by "flattening" the cells once a year or so, totally discharging them. With a proper inverter, the cells can be further discharged when used, preventing some of this effect. The potassium hydroxide may be a harmful chemical, but so is sulfuric acid and my...

The advantages of the Nicad cells are high rate of charging, hundred or more amps if your charging system can supply it and the ability to handle deep cycle discharge without harm. In comparison, a lead acid battery will not regain full capacity after a deep discharge, some are better than...

The Nicads are military surplus, "helicopter" batteries etc. They are made up of individual cells (BB600) and you can make up a battery bank at any suitable voltage and amp-hr capacity. 19 cells for a 24 volt system that works with the truck generator voltage for proper charging. Cost may be $10...

Did that and the tech that I spoke with said it couldn't be done...it probably can, but that was his answer.

With power outages popping up so often these days and so much talk about generators, I thought my solution may be of interest. It is based on the ability of NiCd cells to take on a charge at a high rate, perhaps ten times that what's normal for Lead Acid types. Going on two years now, my xm757...

Image shows it assembled.

How much fuel to you usually keep in the tank?

Original parts, which may be different here

More images. The engine is an LDS465-2 and the truck made by Ford, Tractor division in 1969. Less than 500 ever made all variants included and used for the Pershing 1A system in Germany.

Yes, it looks like it came from an xm757 (same as m656) alright. Here are a few images of the engine. Fuel filters are different from the deuce and the primary strainer type, was mounted near the fuel tank on the frame. The turbo is not a "C".

The buzzer is a low current device and an 1N4003 (1amp/200volt) will do fine.

This is what I use for my old Allison.

When nothing else works, try JB Weld... used it on silicone rubber even and it does the job.

It's on the PCB...

Hi Patrick, yes you will have to cut it open. I have used a hack saw and keeping the cut shallow will prevent damage to the insides. I have also rebuilt a couple eliminating the PCB to simplify the unit, but also eliminating the low oil pressure protecting feature in the process. The contactors...

Should perhaps look for FM 9-207...

The multi runs cool at all times and I used a piece of plywood summer and winter for years. Only removed it when the truck was loaded to the max...

It's possible that the safety wire bit is an error in the TM, that's not totally unknown you know.. Here is the PS mag article on the installation, where excess zipper simply is cut off.
