Yeah, enjoy that part while it's fresh. After the 200,000th time you say "no, it's not a Unimog" it starts to get a bit old. Now when people ask where I got it I just say "You know that National Guard post over on Weber and Mc Ardle? Those guys never lock their gates"

Amazon also has piles of Pulsetech products (as well as eBay). Keep in mind, these only maintain good charges, they won't keep up with a serious drain. Pay attention to "output wattage" (more is better with solar). And a lot of brands "pulse" (I think Noco does as well as several other "smart...

And if I recall, there are only two wires used so a connection is a connection is a connection. You could use something like this or simply delete the disconnect all together and hard-wire the beacon/lightbar permanently. If push comes to shove, just find any cannon connector set and replace...

You can find them at a NAPA or even on Amazon. A lot of folks ditch the CB's and run standard blade fuses (the type that light up are popular).

Came out nice !

I've pondered trying one of these: https://www.obd2tool.com/goods-2484-CAT-Caterpillar-ET-Wireless-Diagnostic-Adapter.html

This is the fellow who had been offering copies of the A1 TM. About a year later, he uploaded it to the web for free, but I don't see his post regarding that. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/m1078a1-10-technical-manual.182290/ And I wonder if our fuzzy little kitchen appliance ever got...

A1R: The Vast Mystery So many little things are *close* to older trucks, but not always what they appear to be. It's a LOT of trial and error... LOL

But kick that little sucker up every night and you will hear it pop the disconnect relay at the batteries. It's too big a file, if I recall. It was scanned and linked to a Google d/l site. It wasn't in the regular TM area here on S...I don't think (I'll check).

Yep There is a later version of the TM that covers the A1 trucks (A1R trucks are kinda screwed as their TM is still under "double secret Army stuff not used in 10 years but it still can't be released to us commie socialist scum" ). It covers up to the late model A1's so you should be fine with...

Yep, that will shut you down safely at night. The toggle on the driver kickplate (with the red cover) is the remote activation for that relay. The switch-looking tool is a crude wet-cell battery tester. Dips into the old-acid batteries and lights up when it contacts the cell. The rubber...

I just had a chance to look at the two images I posted. I'm not sure if the A1R (green) is incorrect or not. The tank doesn't care which hole is the inlet and I'm wondering if mine is correct, just installed in opposite ports from the image Ronmar posted. Of course, I have one spare 1/4"...

Looks like my A0 and my A1R are both incorrect.

It dampened the issue (whatever it was). ;)

Disposing of oil is easy (Auto Zone, etc). Fuel? Not so much (at least down here, only the dump and it has to be containerized). I keep bad gas to start bonfires but 56 gallons would start a LOT of bonfires. Diesel does in fact have a shelf life of 6-12 months contrary to what some claim...

A can of spray degreaser and a pressure sprayer should knock it right off.

Off topic, but who do you use for shaft rebuilds ? I can't find a local in Corpus that's still open.

Appreciate the pics. I have a kit and need to rebuild my M1079 that's pissing itself.

Not sure if these are still a thing? I know Bryce has some but I've not seen Steve in awhile.
