i do not need the backer rings anymore as i have a new manifold coming. My old backer rings worked and the orings sealed the leaks but i just have too much wear in my valves and have taken them apart for the last time. found a really good deal on the manifold so its a no brainer for me to have...
Parker will not release the size of those backer rings. My local store contacted corporate and he was told they would only sell them as part of the kit and would not even give a part number. Great business practices
So still waiting for that fall weather, but gotta keep going on the truck. Yesterday loaded up the cardboard and plastic recycling and took it 5 miles down the road to the drop off bins. Today I got the Deoxit in the mail so i will work on the fuse panel this week. I also received my new...
I just bought one of these little Ini power generators and was looking at the auto start units on Ebay, but had no idea what i would do with it. FYI if you have not seen one of these generators and have watched the youtube videos, and the guy talks about the magic button on the back for...
I just picked up in Capac, a month ago. its a tow yard, but they had a very large military Wheel loader with forks and loaded 2 mep 802s on trailers onto my trailer. Only thing to keep in mind with trailer mounted units is the they usually will not fit between the fenders on your trailer. I...
I am going to take Mullaney's sugestion so waiting on some deoxit to come in the mail as it is not sold locally and not real confident in just using contact cleaner. So did some more work tonight after the funky weather passed. pumped the cab up by hand and changed the wiper blades, painted...
Had storms this morning so not a lot of time to work on the truck but i replaced the glad hand seals tonight which allows me to keep the dummy covers on thus keeping dirt out and not having those swinging around going down the road. I went to figure out the lights again. pulled K8 relay and it...
So hopefully no one feels like i am hi jacking this thread as i will apologize in advance, but just like the original poster GP is trying to withhold the credit card fees, 6 people i went through this morning and finally 1 person sent an email to finance to get this reconsidered. I am also...
I bought a 802 out of Wisconsin last week, yard would not let my broker schedule pick up till tuesday of this week. and then 8:30am Tuesday sent a message saying the Generator is not here. Talked with Gov Planet and they called the yard and then collapsed the sale. They better give me my...
glad it worked for you. I did total rebuild on the hydraulic pump and still can not get it to work. Kicker is it worked before i took it apart. How are you bleeding the air out?
I took the title option from Gov planet so it was a Florida title, but not really sure it matters. You will need to have an inspection done, and hopefully get the right person at the BMV. Because of weight it will have to have commercial plates
Pouring down rain today. So i spent some time going through the mk28 basic issue kit i bought for things i am putting on the LMTV. tools, locks, wheel chocks, document bag installed on my door. lots of stuff in that box that will not go on the lmtv and i have no idea what it is or used for.
Tiny bit of progress tonight. Its been hot and I have been working on Generators too much lately, but i was able to wire up the new license plate lights, put a packard connector on and hooked up to the extra lead on the driver side taillight and works fine. final paint and bolted down...
So a sad ending to this thread tonight i put a fuel pump in unit 3 from another unit and it fired right up, for about 30 seconds and then started knocking and slowed down. so at this point the motor is junk and the unit may get parted out. Unit 2 i posted a question in another thread about...
I have a unit that makes power but everytime i close the circuit breaker it trips. I switched breakers with another unit that i have and the same thing happened. the HZ meter show 59 hz and volt meter shows 110 so the only thing i have seen is flashing the field but i do not believe that would...
first things first. does the Generator start and run. You said you purchased a 12v battery for that. Well it would be 2 batteries since its going to be 24v. Military and i clearly see the NATO plug
So unit 3 fuel pump plunger was stuck to the point after soaking in carb cleaner and kroil and every little trick i could think of would not move. As a last resort i used a punch and hammer to force it down because had nothing to lose at this point. It worked and is free pumps really well. got...
