Yes its a 100amp gnerator used on the radio/command M-37's ( M-42). I had a burned out one on my 37 and replaced it and all the associated cables with a single wire mil 60amp alternator ( uses same mounting bracket)., I bought a 3 groove pully alt off a Mutt radio jeep and found that the two...
You can cheat and use a expansion plug ( save you from removing alot of parts ), this would be a quick fix so you could fill system back up ( with just water ) and check to see if there is further damage to the block before going further into the repair with proper ( metal ) plug

Everything but the chain is from stuff I had laying around my shop ( 1 1/4" emt conduit, old camphered washer from shock bushing, cut off piece of alt bracket from my tractor mod and some foam toolbox liner )

This is a discussion about hardening a Military genset against a emp burst which can be a natural occurance ( 2013 is suppose to be the suns highest cycle for solar flares/cme's ) or man made ( nuclear ). Our goverment is concerned enough about it to spend/fund billions on upgrading (...
Another good report on EMP Commission to Assess the Threat to the United States from Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) Attack
Ahm... thanks there Spedd for pointing out my misstake on stating steel instead of aluminum cover. I had my steel A.S.K cover on my mind when I was posting
Yes the electronics are inside a steel box but that box is grounded to the unit therefore it will conduct the emp burst/wave through the unit and the electronics. My 003A is on a trailer ( isolated from ground ) and in a steel barn ( buffer ) but I also have it hooked to a ( separate from the...
