Perhaps it's an indication that the part was for military use?

I understand the width of an M416 trailer is exactly 60.5 inches. The 8-foot bed of an F250 Super Duty is 66.9 inches, which means an M416 trailer should fit nicely in the bed. However, I'm a firm believer in talking to someone that has done it. I know I need to account for the F250 wheel...

I lost power two days ago when it was 2 deg. F. outside. The power had been off about 60 minutes. The MEP003A fired right up without problem. I ran it for about 15 minutes powering the house, when the power came back on. I shut the generator down. The power went out three more times, but...

As Karl Kostman said, put some weight in the back. My previous M35A2 did OK in the snow with a lot of weight in the back. I have 40 acres which are very hilly/mountainous and I have never gotten stuck in the snow and most of my driving is off-road. My M35A3 with Michelins does a whole lot...

I've attached a photo of the part that is missing in your photo. It looks like a regulator, but I'm not sure what it does. I had to lay down on my back under the SEE in ~5 deg. F. weather to take the photo, so I didn't stay there very long! Someone else may recognize the item and know what it...

I've been using Rustoleum Rusty Metal Primer for years and have top-coated with all kinds of paint on all kinds of surfaces without issue. The label says to topcoat within one hour or after 48 hours. I have successfully top-coated almost immediately after applying the RMP and have never had a...

When I replaced the shock absorber in the surge brake actuator, it cost me $53.95, including shipping from Croft Trailer Supply in Kansas City. However, this was in March of 2014, so prices have obviously increased. I also initially did the trick with the bolt or pin to keep the unit locked in...

The clutch switch definitely works. I intend to check both air pressure and 24 VDC to the solenoid prior to tilting the cab. I know the overall pneumatic pressure is good and is set at 106 PSI. However, that doesn't mean that one of the air lines feeding the solenoid isn't plugged up. When I...

I had the FLU419 towed on a trailer to a shop that offered to assist in tilting the cab. I've now changed my mind and will have it towed to my home where I can tilt the cab myself. I am almost certain the problem is with the Intermediate Speed Control solenoid. Since it won't move either...

When I first received my MEP003A the switch wouldn't work properly. I used a heat gun on mine and it finally unscrewed with a ~30 inch crescent wrench and a lot of pull on the wrench. My switch was toast and I got a used one from Delks. No problems since.

I have a very large house and I'm running an MEP003A, one of the later ones built in 1992. It is 10 KW and is adequate for running the whole house, including HVAC. I have a manual transfer switch and I don't have any circuits selected for the genset. I love the MEP003A. It is air cooled and...

I think I didn't describe the problem adequately. When I said there was no power to the wheels I meant that it was like the transmission was in neutral. No forward and no reverse. The engine runs fine. I'm almost possible that it is the Intermediate Speed Control. After looking in the TM...

Now, I have a real problem. I decided to take Flu Farm's advice and remove the entire reel assembly. Unfortunately, I just had surgery and so I decided to drive the SEE to a friend's shop and have him remove the reel assembly for me. After about 7-8 miles on the highway, the SEE decided to...

I need to replace the ends on the hydraulic lines for the hydraulic tools. I plan to cut off about 1 - 2 feet. I don't want to drain the hydraulic tank. I'm assuming that if I don't engage the switch for the hydraulic tools that I can simply cut the ends off the lines and drain the fluid from...

You are correct. I intend to cut about a foot off and have new ends swaged on.

My current hoses are ~30 feet long and in excellent shape except for the end. The FLU was so close to the work area because it was in the final area. Most of the work had the hydraulic lines stretched as far as they would go. I can see where extension hoses would be a great advantage. So far...

Yesterday, I ran my FLU419 jackhammer continuously around 10 hours, breaking up old concrete footings. I didn't do it all myself as that would have done me in very quickly. That thing is a beast, but man does it do the work! This was the only time I have ever had the cooling fan turn on. I...

Here is my M1030M1 USMC diesel motorcycle into the pot.
