    Backup requested.

    Depending on what Jeep you have, you might want to load it in the bed instead of towing it. However, the downside with that is that if you break down towing the Jeep, you can drive the Jeep if needed without having to unload it from the truck.

    Allison AT1545 failures

    After my switch to Dexron III, I've had zero problems. Just the opposite. The transmission is much much happier and I've put thousands of miles on it since the switch.

    Cabin Fever - Took My M1030M1 For A Trail Ride

    Being stuck at home due to the Corona Virus is driving me nuts. I've been spending time doing PM on my A3 deuce and tractors, but that is like work. I needed a break. I decided to take my M1030M1 out for a trail ride on my property today. I have 40 mountainous acres and quite a lot of...

    No power at idle

    I understand that. What happens if low range is selected. I'm wondering if the transmission is not actually in 1st gear. I had a truck once that, when cold, the transmission hung up in third gear and the truck would barely move from stopped. I determined the problem by jacking up the rear...

    No power at idle

    Why would this be a fuel problem if there is no problem in reverse?

    M35A2 “Tick Tick Tick Tick” from Transmission

    You need to find out what is causing the noise. I had an A2 that made a slight ticking noise in 5th gear only, when slowing down. Then one day, the transmission started shelling teeth from the gears. Totally destroyed the transmission.

    Put on your thinking caps. Oil leaking

    If the new seal is significantly better and holds up longer, the additional cost is insignificant.

    Couldn't get 5-ton started on the trailer.

    Follow NDTs directions to get the truck off the trailer. More than likely you have an issue with the battery cables and/or grounding not making good contact.

    Proper grounding for MEP-002A as SDS

    I think you probably meant a 100 Amp panel and not 100 Watt panel? Your connections to L1, L3 and L0 are correct.

    Check those MEPs!

    That was a good catch you made seeing the wrong dip stick. Many might have missed that. You are probably OK. There is a safety margin with the oil levels. Also, as you mentioned, lack of oil pressure should have shut the engine down unless someone has bypassed the switch. Buying this stuff...

    RAPCO paint isn't CARC. It is regular paint that matches the color of CARC

    Deuce hood fixing

    Replacement used hoods are plentiful and cheap. Before spending a lot of time trying to repair your hood, I would recommend looking for a cheap replacement.

    Converting pto driven equipment to hydraulic and the decent into madness!!

    The easiest thing to do is buy an A3. I have an A3 with winch and it is fantastic. Very simple to use and trouble free to date. I've also had an A2 with winch which worked fine, but the A3 hydraulic winch beats the PTO driven winch hands down.

    Looking for information on multimeters, regular or one that also clips around wires? Don’t know much so brand, if permitted, model etc thanks.

    I am a firm believer in quality. Quality meters will last decades unless someone does something stupid with them. I also like both Klein and Fluke for quality. I have never had an issue with any instruments made by either company.

    Ga snow

    Hiawassee, Georgia got 4.5 inches. I'm between Hiawassee and Clayton and we got 7 inches, but we are at a much higher altitude. We were snowed in until noon today. Fortunately, our power is back on and I don't need to run my MEP003A generator anymore.

    Snowed In - Running on MEP003A

    I'm actually just a few miles from the Appalachian Trail. I'm jealous - I've always wanted to through hike the trail and plan to someday, south to north.

    Snowed In - Running on MEP003A

    Not two inches, about 7 inches total. The photo is misleading. We're located in the Blue Ridge Mountains in North Georgia and some very steep roads. I'm on 40 acres about a mile from the nearest paved road and surrounded by National Forest. EMC power is now back on.

    Snowed In - Running on MEP003A

    Well, we're snowed in again in North Georgia and running on our MEP003A. Third time so far this year I've had to run the whole house on the MEP, but only the first time for snow. I'm sure my M35A3 could make it out of here, but the rest of my vehicles are snowbound. The snow is still falling...

    No throttle response PSB6A-90EH-5337A

    When you say no throttle response when pressing on the pedal, do you mean that the pedal can be depressed and you get no throttle response, or that you cannot depress the pedal? The pivot pin on one of my deuces' accelerator pedal corroded and the pedal froze. I actually had to replace the...
