I did the 12v conversion on my M1009 plow rig, I mounted the belt driven pump in place of the driver's side alternator. Also had to remove the brush guard for clearance for the head frame. If I would have had an electric unit I would not have done the 12v conversion, had the belt drive on hand...
I'm not sure the 68B would cover 2m, the one I had was 6M. The other radio's were capable of different bands depending on which band module was installed in the radio, either 2m or 6m, not sure if they made a UHF module or not. Check out prc68.com for more info.
I am in sort of the same boat. I have a swivel on a M100 I am restoring and the holes don't seem to be spaced right. In the down position the leg cants back, in the up position it won't lock as the leg hits the parking brake cable bracket. According to what I have read the WWII swivels have 3...
How many amps @12v do you need? would be my first question. Second, when you find that out you can purchase a single unit to step down the voltage, not sure why you combined all those units unless you got them real cheap or for free. Looks over complicated when it doesn't have to be. Another...
Need to replace the tie rod ends on my M882, there are two options listed, 3500lb axle or 4500lb axle so of course I would like to know which is the correct one? On a more exciting note the power steering is in!
Thanks
Mark
Check the fusible link between the 12v junction block and 12v battery tap. It may show voltage but it still could be bad and not carry any amps, it happened to one of mine a real head scratcher. I ran a straight wire to test it then replaced the link.
Went back 14 or so pages and found the pictures. What was throwing me off was that I had an extra bracket thrown in the mix, probably off the plow pump the donor had. Pulled the pulley off the pump today, new one arrives tomorrow.
I have a power steering "kit" but I did not take it off so I am trying to figure out how the pump attaches to the front of the engine. If some one could post a good picture or two of the pump mounting that would be great.
HI Rob, good luck with the sale of the collection. I still have Ethan's generator trailer, The M1008 is still here that you helped me with as well. We needed a prybar to tighten the new alternator belt on the CUCV for the trip back to Maine, found one in the old "shoebox" volvo and I still...
With the A/C off and truck off try pulling the power connector on and off the A/C compressor and see if the clutch moves, if it does your A/C relay has shorted, that's what was causing my batteries to drain.
Great to hear the conversions are working. I ordered the wrong size alternator the first time and it was too short as stated above. I sold it and bought the correct size to direct bolt in, part number is correct in my install post. So far mine is working great as well. I believe 160A is the...
Mine is hooked up to the green wire, I believe it is a safety wire so the governor won't work when the high idle is active, atleast that is how mine works.
