Well, I've now repaired my A3 (kinda). I banged the you know what out of the priority valve and it finally released. All it took was a bigger hammer. I will now be bringing my A3 to the rally. Actually, I was kind of looking forward to driving the A2 as it is much safer to drive on the...
I've tried the Irish Spring soap and it didn't work for me. Perhaps the difference is that your cars are in storage and my deuce is sitting out in the open surrounded by forest. I never see any evidence of next building, only destruction from chewing. I believe they enter the deuce, chew my...
No, the CTIS has always functioned perfectly except for one wheel seal I rebuilt along with the hub seal. What happens is that after starting the engine, pressure builds up in the left tank, but does not build up in the right tank. The pressure gauge reads zero and the low pressure buzzer...
Well, my M35A3 has broken down again. Air pressure problems and I don't have time to fix it. I'll now be bringing my A2 and pulling my M116A2 with MEP-003A genset, but I need to change a front tire first. We'll have plenty of power if needed.
xzlxvx!!! Mice
Look at what the mice have done to my new M35A2 drivers seat bottom! I don't know what to do. Keep a cat locked in the cab? I've tried everything including mouse traps, mothballs, peppermint oil, Irish Spring soap, 5-gallon pail of water with board (walk the plank), rat...
I'd put the question in a post on the Historic Military Vehicle Forum in the U.K. HMVF - Historic Military Vehicles Forum You might also send the question to Chrysler. They helped me once regarding an M37 I had questions about, but that was about 45 years ago.
Sears must have sold some generators at one time using an Onan engine. Not likely to be the 002A or 003A engine, but an engine that uses some of the same parts. Good find!
I have ether on mine that works great. If you don't want to use the ether, why not visit your local CAT dealer and ask for their recommendation? The 3116 engine is very common.
I have 400-amp service in my house. My MEP003A is mounted on a M116A2 trailer and I wanted to keep the genset portable. I keep the trailer in my garage, and simply raise the garage door when I need to run it. I used a 400-amp 4-pole Square D manual transfer switch. The feed from the genset is...
I think a lot of people don't empty the air tanks on A3s even though they should. Mine were all plugged up. So was the drain on the fuel filter. It took quite a bit of rodding out to get that opened up.
