    MEP-002A hookup through subpanel

    Professional electricians use manual lockouts and temporarily hard wire the generator to the panel. I recommend interlocks or transfer switches for those people that are not very familiar with electricity and are not comfortable working with it. The last time an inspector inspected my work his...

    MEP-002A hookup through subpanel

    It is against code due to the possibility of back feeding. A panel interlock kit is only about $20 for most panels. If you have to ask how to do it then you should follow the code. I would not install a power inlet plug unless you use an interlock or transfer switch. That being said it will...

    Increasing the fording capabilites of the Deuce AND reducing the fording PMCS

    Before fording with a vehicle we service and grease it like normal. After fording we wash everything down pull the brake drums and inspect. Check all fluids for contamination and grease everything. If we find anything then we go further. Most of time we do not find anything but some times we do...

    Hyster 4000 lb forklift, gas or LPG, any info on model, weight, etc.?

    It looks like a civilian unit with a cab and lifting points added. Typically a forklift weighs about twice the lifting capacity. The mast on this one looks short.

    Increasing the fording capabilites of the Deuce AND reducing the fording PMCS

    Are you talking fording or swimming? Clean fresh, dirty fresh or salt water. It makes a big difference

    converting an M54A2 chassis to a tractor

    If you are going to haul a civilian trailer I would install a civilian outboard mounted sliding fifth wheel. The military fifth wheel is riveted to the top of the frame and that is frowned upon now. The frame rails may need to be shortened. The tractors use a different rear crossmember that...
