MC-2A Installed parts yesterday and it was interesting. How this broke is a mystery. Looks like it ran quite a bit afterwards When installing new screw, discovered that the governor arm was bent. It would not line up properly. Pair of pliers fixed that. Actually I think I bent it when I...

Don’t forget to mouse-proof your generator. Mice love barns and can cause serious damage to wiring, etc Lots of threads on how to keep them out.

That's also the cleanest fabrication shop I've seen. You could make up several sets of the stencils and sell them in the classifieds.

Nicely done!! That color looks great and the Stenciling is a very nice touch. That’s one of the best looking setups I’ve seen. Where did you put the cabinet for all the spare parts you’ll need? Grin

New parts FINALLY arrived. A new Governor adjustment screw and crankcase breather gasket. Still no service manuals …….so does anyone have the procedure on how to adjust it? Or pictures? Installing will be easy but I don’t know how far to screw the screw in to the pump rack. The other unit is...

Nicely done!!

For visual reference

I had never heard of a Kelvin Bridge and had to look it up. Learn something new here everyday.

There is one for the brake shoes and bearings. Another for the brake levers. Those are the most commonly requested part numbers.

7MC-2A The new breather tube didn’t make a difference at all on the blow by. Will continue to use the tea bottle trick instead of tearing into it for that oring replacement. Unit runs fantastic and starts right up Pressure is great and is plenty for what I need. Voltage is still doing great...

Which one did you get? The 7MC-2A is the newer version and a lot less complicated. Using mine for all sorts of projects The Deutz engine parts on the MC-2A are slow in coming but still available. They should be here the 15th or so.

Looking at your pictures, you've done quite a bit. When you mounted your Jerry cans and Jack, did you use a backing plate for the bolts? Or just the metal of the trailer? Where those are mounted, they will be taking quite a beating, vibration wise. Metal Fatigue will be a factor unless the...

These things vibrate a LOT, so I would check to see if you might have wire chaffing issues. I found one wire on mine in the control panel that was chaffing badly and caught it and fixed it before an issue appeared. I would not recommend a circuit breaker. The charging system was not designed for...

The stock setup works very well and is very reliable when taken care of. Spend the time and money now and it will payoff several fold later. Push buttons/card deletes/bypasses/ conversions are fine if that is what the owner chooses, but the stock system does the job very well. It is what it...

Keep adding until it reads on the stick Hopefully your transmission pump isn't toast. It's either going to go on the ground, which you said it isn't, or it's in the transfer case as already mentioned above. I would check your radiator cooler. Make sure it isn't leaking inside the radiator. I...

Seafoam is your friend. If you think you've added too much, add some more. I also run two-cycle oil in all my older diesels. It's designed to be burned and keeps the internals happy. Current diesel does not have the lubricity it used to.

Appreciate it. It’s a great fit for the ford tractor.

Finally finished the transformation of the USAF Oxygen Cylinder trailer to a small utility trailer. Still some small tweaks to do. Will let wood age outside for a year or so then treat it with clean oil. It will never be on the road, so no lighting is needed. Should work fine. Edit: Added...

Looks like a engine or propeller transport trailer. By transport, I mean only on the airfield tarmac. Cool find!
