    M101a1 trailer rebuild

    Looks correct to me. Those new levers look nice. I ordered a set for yet another M101A2 and they arrived last week. Worth every penny.

    7MC-2A & MC-2A (USAF) Towable Diesel Air Compressors

    While waiting on DEUTZ engine parts, I turned my attention to the 7MC-2A. It hasn't been getting fuel to injectors and injection pump wasn't pumping fuel, even though the fuel pump & fuel solenoid are working properly. Manual isn't really clear (to me) and I just started taking the governor...

    7MC-2A & MC-2A (USAF) Towable Diesel Air Compressors

    I ordered the factory Deutz 208F Service/Operation/Parts manuals from Deutz. I plan on keeping one of these and want to be able to fix it myself. Very pricey but it will be worth it.

    7MC-2A & MC-2A (USAF) Towable Diesel Air Compressors

    Yes, finally figured it out. Hate to admit it, but I needed glasses to see the fine threads inside the hole.

    7MC-2A & MC-2A (USAF) Towable Diesel Air Compressors

    Issue SOLVED!! That adjustment screw is broken in half The threaded part was either taken out or fell out. Someone had definitely been inside as the cover bolts were finger tight. I manually adjusted the fuel rack on the pump and she fired right up! I immediately shut it back down Made a HUGE...

    7MC-2A & MC-2A (USAF) Towable Diesel Air Compressors

    This is from the Deutz commercial manual showing the 208 "D" schematic, which matches mine. The 208 "F" is what the unit is supposed to have. Engine looks original and does not appear to be a replacement. Part's are correct. #9 adjusting screw doesn’t attach to anything on mine. (Edit: It does...

    7MC-2A & MC-2A (USAF) Towable Diesel Air Compressors

    The arm linkage end is just hanging down and not going to the pump Looks like a chain master link.

    7MC-2A & MC-2A (USAF) Towable Diesel Air Compressors

    MC-2A......Deutz Engine New Fuel solenoid was installed and fixed the fuel to IP issue. Injection pump still will not pump fuel to injector. Discovered the Governor linkage is missing parts or something. The part attached to the Governor arm is different that what's shown in the schematic. It's...

    20kw Generator

    The bigger the generator, the more fuel it burns per hour. Not a big deal for short outages, but for the long ones, it adds up. My 5kw MEP-002A runs everything I need and is very fuel efficient. I always have at least 400 gallons of off-road diesel on my Ranch, so I'm set for the rare longer...

    7MC-2A & MC-2A (USAF) Towable Diesel Air Compressors

    Well the CD with the manuals arrived, both the operators manual and the service/overhaul/parts list, but they cannot be posted here on SS. They are Restricted because of some Technical Data and haven't been approved for Public Release, so no posting them here. Too bad, since they are the...

    7MC-2A & MC-2A (USAF) Towable Diesel Air Compressors

    Appreciate that, but not necessary. Hopefully it’s the complete version. I have no idea how many of these units were made. Really looking forward to hearing it run.

    7MC-2A & MC-2A (USAF) Towable Diesel Air Compressors

    I bought the CD Hopefully it's complete. The Deutz fuel solenoid for one of the other MC-2As should arrive Monday or Tuesday. Wix Oil filter and jug of Mobil 1 compressor oil arrives Tuesday.

    7MC-2A & MC-2A (USAF) Towable Diesel Air Compressors

    Agree! The listing picture omits the manual number. I wonder where they found it since I've spent hours looking for it with zero luck. It is the CD version, and claims to have everything. If it was the official paper version, I would have bought it. Will most likely buy it since I do need it...

    7MC-2A & MC-2A (USAF) Towable Diesel Air Compressors

    I’ve been striking out everywhere. There is someone on eBay that has a PDF or CD version for $40+. No clue if it’s a complete version. I know the manual existed, but cannot locate it.

    7MC-2A & MC-2A (USAF) Towable Diesel Air Compressors

    The 7MC-2A with the 2 cylinder 2G30 HATZ diesel is putting up a fight. (The other two have the Deutz diesels) Have fuel up to the injection pump and plenty of fuel is coming out the return line, but almost nothing is coming out of the injection pump. Fuel solenoid is working and even have a bit...

    7MC-2A & MC-2A (USAF) Towable Diesel Air Compressors

    Picked these up last Friday. They were almost given away. Been wanting one of these for a while. Perfect for Ranch work Two are 100% complete, minus one bearing cap, and one MC-2A is missing the fuel solenoid and one air dryer plus the reel air hose. The 7MC-2A will be brought back to life as...
