    dash mounted flasher light

    My solution was to connect the low air pressure buzzer, so that it buzzes along with the flasher. For more, see MVM Dec 2005 issue... Edit: Added image

    Compressor Belt Tool Dimensions

    Glad to see you keeping your cool Garandfan. :-) Here is a picture, what dimension do you need? I don't own one, but make it fit or ask for specific numbers. There is nothing proprietary about it.

    Need help with Arctic Cab Heater

    Best way to make sure is to remove the metering valve and check it for calibration and operation as shown below. You have two solenoid operated needle valves, one must always be "on" when unit is turned on, the second is only on in "HI" mode (the restriction valve). If, in fact you only need one...

Edit: Based on the link posted by Chris, there may be some issues with the electronics since the designers...

    No start- Bad control box?

    Closed contacts (relay energized) should give you a reading of 1/2 Ohm or less for a new relay. To help "burn off" some of the oxide on the contacts of the reverse polarity protection relay, turn on headlights and other electrical loads before flipping the master switch. Note: When removing...

    Deuce Starter Solenoid

    The solenoid on the starter serves two functions, it engages the pinion gear and closes the contact that supplies battery voltage to the starter motor.
