May be more trouble than its worth but I’m curious and it won’t cost a thing to look. I was just amazed that a switch from 1953 that had been exposed to the weather for 2 years worked just fine

Maybe, I’ll get some of those. But you have to make due with what you have on hand.

Thanks for the info.

I bought a 816 from them a few years back. Great sevice and it was good deal for a 816. Less than 10k shipped

I’m not reinventing the wheel here. I know this has been done many times but I never found a thread here that really covered it. I’m sure if you talked to 5 people you would get 5 different ways to do this. I found a lot of information on how to from the following web pages ...

I think I will start to do the same. Anybody ever fix one of these switches. I’m going to take it apart and see what I can see

I found a 1953 dated 3 lever switch that’s was in my old m108 cab that’s been in the weather for 2 years. It works just fine. They don’t makem like they use too. The one that came out of the truck was a 1992.

what did you do with the field wire? The one that connected to the old alternator with military wiring connector .

I have a this deuce I originally bought for the winch to put on another truck. Anyhow it runs so well I’m thinking of keeping it for a while at least. About the only problem I have found with it is the lights do not work. I disconnected the cannon plug from the switch and used a jumper...

Use the mount from the original case.

Have them put 24087 in as the color

In the pic it looks like it’s connected to the same post as the number 2 wire but can’t really tell. The hot post. Per the wiring diagram that wire with the connector goes to the starter switch.

So does the small wire with military connector hook to the hot / red connector on the civilian alternator ?

Lastly Louisiana has a provision to register privately owned former military vehicles using the original military vehicle identification number . You guys are dealing with a low level bureaucrat who does not know the current law. To view Special Plates: http://omv.dps.state.la.us/ To...
