The Champ starter is smaller. And easier to access. But the M37 is simple. One way or another you are going. Probably with the more trail capable Champ.

The advantages of the LiFePO4 chemistry don't make for any advantage in automotive starting systems, even with glow plug diesels. We never use more than 20% of the charge even in arctic conditions. Which is why the selling point of cold cranking amps is far more common than the amp-hour...

Heat is your friend. I have not had a stuck broken bolt beat my TIG welding method. Heat causes the bolt to expand, the stress squeezes the bolt smaller. When it all cools, there is some space to twist. If you don't have the concentrated heat of an arc, drill it out and stab a red hot copper...

From the website, general instruction manual, they recommend no more than 30 seconds of hard pull followed by 10 minutes of cool down. Probably for Australia heat. https://sherpa4x4.com/pages/data-sheets

By then, it should be variable speed compressor :). I ordered the variable speed control from a vendor in China. They did a switcharoo on tracking numbers with another order going to Hildago Texas. So I informed them of the error and they are sending another. I might just get two.

And it now has oxyacetylene, a proper Milton inflator with gauge and fully functioning PTO generator. I do both kinds of arc welding, SMAW and GTAW (an homage to The Blues Brothers). I splurged on a Metabo die grinder so the truck has two angle grinders, an air die grinder and an electric...

There is 3/8" or 10mm head screw which adjusts the tension of the in/out movement (vertical axis). I suspect rust as the tube is carbon steel and there is a nylon bushing which is clamped by this screw. The mirror also adjusts for up/down aim but to get to that one, you have to replace the...

Open to all? If so, I will put in for vacation. I work nights so only 1 day of vacation, get up at 1400 on Friday, motor out for 3 hours and should meet all of you on Friday afternoon. Barrman will vouch for me ;) My M1031 is highway ready with new 255 Cooper Maxx STs yet to be taken off...

Installed the mechanical coolant temperature sensor and digital ammeter/voltmeter. Used the left (driver's) alternator ground for the ammeter shunt. Numbers? Idle with no other consumers running and the system stabilizes at 6 amps. Headlights jump it to 26 amps. High beams up to 32. Heater...

The fit of the top and bottom halfs (very hard steel) and the softer intermediate plate form the seal. The body seal is low pressure, fuel return. The intermediate plate seals the high pressure injection pressure (7000 PSI). If the return lines are blocked, the body seal will see much higher...

Running one right now. I'm the customer with a M1031 and the need for a slightly longer hose.

Part 2 of coolant flush. I used 2 quarts of Blue Devil, then drove it for two weeks, still a good bit of silicate buildup in the tubes and rusty sediment so I am repeating it until it is clean. Got a mechanical water temperature gauge (capillary tube type) so now I can see the relationship...

3 years? Does it run? Biodiesel likes to gum up if not run every week. Diesel Mechanic in a Bottle works great to free a stuck pump, if the plungers are still free. Pop the pump cover, siphon out as much fuel as possible, replace with Diesel Mechanic in a Bottle and reassemble. Let it sit a...

These engines have high compression ratios which is generally a bad idea for ether. In cold weather, air density with high compression ratios plus oil thickening and lower battery current means slow cranking speed. Intake flame heaters reduce air density plus add heat, meaning higher crank...

Next project is former military equipment related..I have a 28 volt 3kW DC generator (MEP 026A) which will be used to power the RV, using a 3kW inverter and a battery bank. Intend to use PLCs to start the generator when battery voltage drops below 24 volts, then once 28 volts is sensed at the...

Very nice! I got a 100 ampere digital ammeter/voltmeter/power meter from Amazon for under $15. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01JOUZELG/?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I want to use it for my 24 volt air conditioning system but it could also work on the entire electrical system. Or it could just work on...

Draw Tite 41938 works well. Class V, attached with 8 bolts (9/16"), 4 holes line up but may need reaming as holes are punched prior to folding the rails so the holes deform. The other 4 holes are a bear to drill, I took the time to do a modified spit point grind on a Silver and Deming (reduced...

My overload springs had more distance from their ends to the main spring pack. I've taken them off and installed Air Lift bags, otherwise I would post a photo. The mains are 9 leaf packs. I like the ride with the Air Lift. Thought it would need a reservoir to reduce rate but it is more...

You can get drop in fit 12 volt Prestolite/Leece Neeville 140 amp alternators which should fit the 27Si mounts. Even have isolated negatives and indicator lamp support. If they were only less than $200 each. The Delco 27SI have an SAE J180 mount. Of course you have to find the pulley and...
