I'm assuming that you are talking about the tie-downs located in the bed of an M35A3? These were added to A2 beds as part of the ESP program. I don't know the capacity, but they are fairly stout and very handy. I would simply use some common sense when tieing something down. I doubt you will...
More and more people are mounting M66 rings on Deuces. Something a lot of people don't think about is safety. Everyone knows about locking the Deuce hood back when working on the engine. No one wants to have a gust of wind blow the hood down on their head. Serious injuries and potentially...
Erik's used to have them. I've also seen them on E-bay. I would also recommend replacing the brass nut whenever you replace the grommet as the nut gets chewed up real easy and it needs to be torqued to 45 - 60 Lb-Ft. Erik's has the nuts. Sockets are rounded on the end, which causes them to...
Ditto. This was almost certainly caused by poor connections. This problem is not unique to 24 VDC systems, it can happen to any vehicle. I had a battery post and connector melt on a 6 VDC battery once in a 1954 Chrysler.
Mine is a real brass fitting also, with a glass insert. As I mentioned earlier, it is difficult to see through, however. Fortunately, mine is not leaking.
I have a 5-amp 24 VDC charger from Schauer. I use it for my airplane, genset and deuces. It is fully automatic and you can get one for around $75.00. I have never had any problems. For your wiring problem, the first place to start is with the schematic. As 3dAngus stated, all you can do is...
I have a magnetic block heater for my MEP-003A. Simply place it under the aluminum pan with a block of wood under it. It's actually easier if you use two blocks of wood. Size them so that it presses the heater firmly against the pan. It works great. That being said, I seldom use the heater...
Mine isn't leaking, but it seems to be worthless as you can't really see anything through the glass. Like AceHigh, I would simply plug it and forget it.
I've changed my mind. I initially didn't like the idea of using anything to differentiate between members. The more I think about it, the more I like it because it will likely cause more members to upgrade to 'Premium'. The more members that upgrade = more funds to run and improve the site...
That explains why when I subscribed for two years, I ended up with three years. Thanks for looking out for members that have donted. This site has been a fantastic help and is well worth the $15..00 per year.
