Nope, it runs 1:1 with the engine RPM, and in a M936 when the lever is engaged for the pto, the air throttle sets the engine to 1800-2000 RPM. That's a common speed range for electric motors. However you still need the HP to provide the pressures needed when under load.
Uh, the pump that is...
a 20hp 220vac motor (what is required to run the wrecker pump under load) would draw 746 watts per hp, so 746 x 20 would be 14,920 watts. BIG generator would be needed, unless you were fine using a smaller HP motor and just waiting forever for the crane to move and cutting the load capacity.
I put 8k a year on my M109 usually, this year has been much less as I didn't make Haspin (1500 miles) or the GA Rally, because the motor is out of it!
Not a deuce but I've put 50k on my M915A1 since I bought it in 2011...
I also put 30k on my M818 in 2 years.
You said there wasn't going to be a pig at first. I would have brought Tinkerbell... but no eating her!
She's only about snack size anyway.
I will be there and I will also do my best to drag the 'cherry queen' with me.
I am 80 miles from Walterboro. I have the space and the equipment to recover and do an engine swap or repair. Would at the least save you in storage fees.
Thought I'd offer.
Daniel,
I have the exact same problem logging in at work too. The IP changed, and the internet provider reclassified the site. I have tried to get it reclassified with no luck. I used to get on the site many times a day but not since the server replacement.
Doghead and I discussed this idea at...
Wow Matt! That truck is amazing! Thanks for the excellent write up and the pictures of all its interesting features!
You know what they say, if you want something bad enough, you will find a way to get it!
Ditto on others comments, you should call first thing when they open and buy it. That's a super deal on a truck with little issues and easy to repair problems.
Do they have to be new? I have a set for $1000 that are 90% or better. would like half up front though to hold them that long, if you don't like them I'll return the money at the rally. How's that sound?
I know you said you didn't want to do the swap, but the easiest, fastest way to get what you want is to swap the entire engine. This way, you have an engine will all the appliances and additions that engineers and designers build to work together from the factory and it will last longer, with no...
Actually I made it a 2346 but I'm just splitting hairs. And Angie found my dress blues while I was gone... Oh well, next year!
I am humbled by the show of support for us and for our veterans.
Thank you PB for allowing me to be a part of something so great and meaningful. And the food! so...
I will be there with EMD. hope to drive the Navy jeep and trailer again. I will wear my Johnny Cash's and SP arm band. Anyone from SC want to tag along let me know! It is an amazing parade for sure.
I figured the server couldn't handle the awesomeness of the GA rally uploads and got mad it couldn't be there. How many others checked once a day? Or like me, 5 times an hour?
EMD (John) smoked his clutch in his m37. He will be super bummed if we can't get it fixed. Just liked I've been bummed mine hasn't worked for 3 days.
So I guess if someone has a clutch... we are opening it up now to see exactly how bad it is.
Yes, I need the internal cap and a rotor. I hate to ask you to take yours out though. I was hoping someone had a spare on the shelf. But as no one has chimed in to that effect please bring yours! Thank you!
