    Deuce cranks, wont start #1000

    Ditto. Also, the engine should start easily if everything is correct. Be careful you don't burn up your new starter trying to start it.

    You CAN change your info in the Member Map!

    I just discovered that I am no longer on the member map, so I added myself. However, I cannot double click on my icon and get a page where I can update the map.

    The Cat engine takes a CAT 1R0658 oil filter and a CAT 7E9763 fuel filter. Both are spin on.

    I'm looking for a replacement priority valve. I only saw wheel valve rebuild kits listed for sale by you in the classifieds. The priority valve is the valve that mounts on the right side air tank that maintains pneumatic pressure for the brakes, if there is a major leak in any non-brake portion...

    Does anyone know of a source for new or NOS priority valves for the A3? I'm getting tired of hitting mine with a wrench to get it to release. If I can't find a new one, I might try to take mine apart and clean it.

    MEP 003A No start

    It sounds to me like you may be trying to work on too many things at once, which can provide the opportunity to introduce more problems. If my 003A doesn't start immediately (blowing white smoke initially), it is always one of two possibilities, either the solenoid cutoff has gotten stuck or I...

    Why the 120/240 split issue?

    The Klein voltage tester is a good one in my opinion. Nothing wrong with trying to learn - it's people that don't try to learn that are the problem.

    Need CCKW fuel tank body shipped from Lagrange, Georgia to Fawn Grove, PA

    I'm assuming that you know that this fuel tank must be shipped as a Hazardous Material / Dangerous Goods shipment, which requires that the shipper be hazmat trained? This would come under UN3363, Dangerous Goods in Machinery. It can be shipped via truck or cargo plane, but not on a passenger...

    Why the 120/240 split issue?

    You can also use a 1 : 1 transformer with a center tap to get the neutral and the 120 legs when 240 is fed into it. Also, make sure you know how to ground the generator. If powering your house, do not use a separate ground at the generator. The generator should be grounded via the house...

    I had to replace one sealed beam recently on my A3 and the connectors are all standard, same as my A2.

    When the air assist regulator fails, it normally leaks air to the outside of the regulator. Your issue is a common one with A3s. I had the same problem with my A3. I removed the air pressure input hose from the steering actuator and added some airtool oil. I then replaced the hose. I jacked...

    M 109 "Blowing Smoke"

    How much black smoke is the truck exhaustng? These trucks all normally blow black smoke. You need to post a short video.

    Wiring MEP-003a and MEP-004a to my house

    I found a 400-amp 4-pole Square D manual transfer switch on Ebay that was NIB for about the same money as the Northern panel. It lets me power the entire 400-amp service total electric house with the 003a. Get a good transfer switch - its well worth the money.

    M35A3 Noob questions

    Ditto on everything so far. Most A3s have vinyl numbers not stenciled numbers.

    Starting 3-ph motors w/003A

    I routinely power my Delta 5 HP table saw which is 3 PH and my 5 HP radial saw. Never a problem. I've also occasionally powered a 5 HP 3 Ph compressor. Again, no problems.

    You need to make sure you clean out all the slime from inside the tire, off of the beadlock and the wheel halves. The TM states not to put anything on the o-rings or the valve stem grommet. I've done several A3 wheels and never used any sealant and I don't have leaks. Make certain that you...

    New MEP 003A owner

    Ditto on everything Rosco said. Try Delks for your missing part. Delk's Army Navy Surplus_Home 336-629-0991 Once you get it running do not let the engine idle. Idling the engine will damage the voltage regulator. Shut it down at normal operating speed for 60 hz. These are great units.

    Official 2012 SS Ga Rally Info thread

    I'm bringing some instrumentation to test gauges for the presence of Ra-226 if anyone is interested. Just look me up at the rally. I should be there sometime around 1430 Wednesday.

    Official 2012 SS Ga Rally Info thread

    I just finished loading my 30D36R 3KW genset in the back of the deuce with the help of my JD tractor and forks. Hopefully someone will want to buy it at the rally. I have a lot more loading to do and some more PM as well. Jimma's Dad lives in Blairsvile. He will be bringing his deuce to...
