I finally got tires of some of the fuses in my FLU419 not making good contact. When something didn't work, I always had to rotate the appropriate fuse back and forth until good contact was made. I purchased a whole new set of original fuses from EI. After removing the fuses, I cleaned the...
I can't answer your questions. However, I have an MEP003A which is 10 kw air cooled genset and it powers my whole house with single phase 240 VAC. It runs my HVAC, ovens, lights, dryer, etc. all turned on at once, so 10 kw is more than enough power unless you have some extra-ordinary demands...
The OP stated that not only would the starter not engage, but the lights wouldn't work either. The master does not have to be on for the lights to work. The fact that when he disconnected the cables and reinstalled them everything now works means it was most likely a poor electrical...
I saw a deuce that lost a front wheel due to loose lugnuts. Someone had replaced the studs with right hand threads. Both right and left are commonly available as replacements.
If your batteries are new and fully charged, the problem has to be a poor connection. The starter not operating at the same time you have no lights means the problem is in common with both. You said the connections were all clean and tight. I'm assuming you are talking about the connections...
Wow! I'm surprised that the shifter snapped off. The problem is with these ex-military vehicles you have no idea what someone has done to them in the past. There have been some people with "Parts" SEEs around. I would wait and see if someone responds to your post.
Thanks for the reply. I've been digging with my SEE quite a bit, but mostly when the temperature was around 25 - 35 deg. F. I checked all of my fuses, and the one you mentioned isn't blown. Actually, none of my fuses were blown, but several don't make good contact with the fuse holder. I...
Has anyone successfully dismantled a hydraulic cooling fan motor and serviced it successfully? Of the two fans on my FLU, one spins freely and the other will barely turn when I spin them manually. I have not tried to put 24 VDC to them to actually test them yet. Most of my excavation work...
I purchased my FLU419 back in the early summer - late June / early July 2020. It was advertised with a clear title, but the seller had trouble obtaining the title due to the Covid, or that was the excuse. I finally received a clear New Jersey title on December 2, 2020 after numerous phone...
I have my M35A3 insured with State Farm with a commercial policy for non-commercial use. Fairly inexpensive. However, they won't insure an MV like this unless you have at least one standard automobile insured with them as well. At least that is my case.
I finally got around to mounting the fire extinguisher in my SEE. I mounted it on the rear cabin wall where the TM specified. The TM specified a 3 Lb Purple K, but I installed a 5 Lb Buckeye ABC extinguisher. I may swap it out for a CO-2 in the future because the ABC powder can make a real...
I don't know if they have them now or not, but I got a different replacement part of the enclosure for my MEP003A from Delks several years ago. The price was very good at the time.
Those are definitely not A3 wheels. Hubs on M35A2 trucks can be flipped to single them out from the duals. A3s are already singled out. The truck may still have the control box in the cab, but without the wheel valves, there is no CTIS. There may be other pieces of the CTIS that have been...
Eric's has the short cable that connects the batteries to each other NOS for $8.85. I suspect you can find the other two cables NOS from other suppliers. That would save you some work. You will also need the terminal clamps, which are normally easy to find and there are several currently on...
