I drove my Deuce in the Georgia Mountain Fair Parade on Saturday July 24 in Hiawassee, Georgia. The parade lasted an hour and a half and the temperature was VERY hot. Although the fair is timed with the start of the Georgia Mountain Fair, it is mostly a delayed July 4th parade. We had a great...

My 149A2 recovery from Camp Lejeune went without a hitch, except for the long 1023 mile round trip, some of which was caused by a very long detour. The GL guys at Camp Lejeune were great. I arrived on site at about 0700 and one of the guys let me in early to hitch up my F150 to the trailer. I...

I need to move an M149A2 water buffalo about 500 miles with no air line hookups. I have checked TM 9-2330-267-14&P and searched Resources and haven't found an answer to my question. If I bleed the air from the trailer tank, will the brakes be released? This trailer was manufactured in 2000, so...

Blairsville, Georgia presented a 'Cruise In On The Square' with the Blairsville Cruisers, a local car club. MV owners were invited to participate in a 'Salute to Men and Women in Uniform'. I took my M35A2, pulling an M105A2 trailer. Two other Deuces were present as well, one owned my Jimma of...

I'm looking for a copy of TM 9-2330-267-14. I couldn't find it in the Resources.

I contacted the 103rd Engineer Battalion a few days ago about my M35A2. I was switched between several people until I finally got hold of a Major Chuck Kim on the phone. He was initially suspicious when I started asking questions, but I finally convinced him I didn't have any nefarious intent...

While painting the seat framework on my Deuce, I managed to lose the drivers seat adjustment lever, spring and pin. Does anyone know where I can find a replacement? This is the old design seat on a 1969 Kaiser Jeep. The attached photo showes where the adjuster is attached to the seat frame. I...

I made an interesting discovery today on my MEP-003A GenSet. I removed the lower cover where the power output cables are attached to the bottom of the output connectors. I had never had this cover off before. Three of the nuts, L2, L3 and L0,securing the cables to the connectors were loose...

Does anyone know where I can find a replacement lid and door assembly for the power connection enclosure for an MEP-003A?

I got some ambition today and decided to install my new Monroe 34787 (NAPA 76787) shocks today. They were bright yellow, so I repainted them with Gillespie 24087 semi-gloss OD. I decided to go with the Monroes instead of NOS shocks due to the likely old age of NOS shocks. Aside from painting...

Well, I finally got my transfer switch installed. I purchased a 400-amp Square D four pole manual transfer switch on E-bay, new in the box for a really good price. I mounted it myself, directly under the meter box, a very difficult job for one person with the weight around 300 Lbs. An...

A friend came by today and wanted to see my MEP-003A run as he is considering buying one himself. It was approximately 19 deg F outside and he was also concerned about starting one in the cold weather. After pre-heating the glow plugs, the genset fired right up, no problems starting in the...

MIL-L-8383 oil is specified for use in the Wisconsin Robin Model 30D36R 3 KW diesel GenSet. This oil is primarily used for APUs in military aircraft that are non-turbine type. I'm looking for a civilian equivalent. I found one document that states that the military phased out MIL-L-8383 in the...

I have a TM that I would like to upload to the Resources Section, but I get the message that I am not not authorized for that function. What am I doing wrong?

I now have a complete copy of the M-30D36R Wisconsin Robin 3KW GenSet T.O. 35C2-3-499-1 Technical Manual, dated 15MAY1990, thanks to Baldor. Andrew Spencer at Baldor went way beyond good customer service. Baldor purchased T&J Manufacturing, the company that originally manufactured this GenSet...

I just won a Wisconsin Robin 3 KW Gen Set at Fort Bragg on January 22. My EUC was just issued today - 7 day wait. I plan to pick it up sometime next week. I didn't inspect it, but it looks good in the GL photo, so I hope I got lucky. Now I need a manual. I hope there is one in Resources, but I...

I as wondering if anyone here got either of the two M35A3 W/Ws at Warner Robbins? The auctions closed yesterday. They both looked very good and I seriously considered bidding on one of them.

I fired up the Deuce today for an exercise run of ~20 miles or so. I decided to check the oil after shutting down. I was outside the cab and reached inside and cut off the accessory switch and cut the fuel to stop the engine. I heard a very loud rumbling sound coming fromt he engine...

Here are some photos of the MEP-003A GenSet that I picked up at Ft Jackson a few months ago. It was in virtually perfect condition, except for the batteries, some rusty screws on the control panel and some surface rust on the trailer in a few places. There was also a broken brake line, easily...

A friend of mine has an M37, 1954, without a winch., ex-Army He bought it from the local fire department about 15 years ago and did a fairly nice job of restoration. It has very good paint, interior is good and no rust. The only issues are that everything on it leaks a little. It seems to...
