Is the 4a032 bellhousing a standard SAE pattern? Need to know, as I may be able to get a pump end that bolts to a standard SAE bellhousing for use on the water truck. Would be able to use the 24 v truck system to start the engine and direct plumb the gas lines into the fuel pump for fuel to...

Per one of the posts below, an article on the various bridge trucks by DDoyle would be great! Since we have three (an M812A1, the water truck conversion and the spare M139) it would make for great reading. There seems to be a lot of the M139/M328 trucks around here (New England) that are more...

Other than the little single cylinder powered pumps for fuel (one on E-bay now) were there any other 2 or 4 cylinder powered water pumps made? Would really like to have a 3" or 4" 4 cylinder powered unit if they exist. Thanks

When we bought the water truck 2 years ago, it also came with a sister bridge truck as a spare, with the water truck's bridge body setting on the back. Finally got to go down to Berlin MA to pull it out of the weeds and get it ready to go on to a Landoll trailer sometime this week. Had to cut...

Anyone have any experience with the 1.5 kw AC sets? Got the new unit, a little beat, but it did run but no power on any of the terminals. The VR is OK, as I switched it out with the DC unit and it worked fine. Someone installed a single pole switch on the terminal on/off switch and wired all...

Tried to wire the 3 kw set into the garage to test for possible use during a power outage. The terminals show the correct voltage of 240 volts between the L1 and L2 terminals with the switch in the correct position, so I wired up the L1 and L2 terminals to the hot legs of the fuse box and the...

Any idea of the material used to make the floats in the little mil spec engines? 3 kw gen set would not start on Saturday, with no fuel in carb, but pump was working. Took carb off, and separated bowl (very carefully) and the float was stuck closed by being wedged against the bowl wall...

New MEP-16 we just got. Was on E-bay in the next town over (Milford). Hate to tell you how much (little). Built in 1969 and rebuilt in 1989 (has CARC on engine per stamp) with an hour meter reading of 80+ hours. Unit runs great and made power at the side plug outlets after I fiddled with the...

Have had a hard time determining what year (& make) the new Mack powered tractor is. The data plates have been replaced and some are even blank aluminum. Sanded off the front axle pumpkin under the tag to see if there is a date stamp. Only thing showing is "2669 NK 2", with the NK struck over...

After getting the tractor home, looked into the pre-heater and why it did not fire. Have great spark @ plug as installed (looked through nozzle port). Have real good fuel flow when hose is removed from nozzle and solenoid valve is not stuck. Have no spray out of nozzle even if the pressure...

On Saturday, a good friend "volunteered" his time and the use of his Ford Louie tractor w/ fifth wheel tow bar/hoist to bring our Mack powered tractor home from the office. After a short time rigging up a hitch to the rear of the tractor, and removing the front hubs, we started off @ 30-35 mph...

My son noticed that the brake lights on the water truck seem to stay on for an extended period after the pedal is released. I confirmed this in the yard with a mirror on the step ladder, and removed the breather on the top of the switch and added a shot of air tool oil to the switch. Also...

Drove the water truck to a truck show in Barrington (about 50 miles one way) on Sunday, and accounting for the level of the tank when I started and the amount of fuel bought ($117 @ $2.66/gal) I think that the mileage is between 3 to 4 miles per gallon or between $0.70 and $0.90 per mile just...

There will be a truck show in Barrington, NH on 8/19/07. Not an MV only show, but a number of MVs do show up. Last year, a local building mover brought his restored and painted M911 into the show. Sounded great both entering and leaving. Had about 200 trucks last year due to the weather, but...

When we run the H2O Truck down the road at a higher rate of speed, there seems to be a large amount of gear noise, more than I would expect from either the transmission or the transfer case (I think it is the TC). At 40 mph indicated, the noise is not bad, but get it up to 50-55 mph and you...

At the Weare show, we picked up a 28 volt MEP-025A gen set for cheap money. Needs a new air cleaner element, a hose between the air box and the carb and the plastic tank has a pin hole in the side (fixed with screw and rubber washer) but other than these small items it is almost new. Runs real...

I know DDoyle is an expert on the deuce trucks and can pinpoint a year fairly close, but how about the 5 tons? Our new M52A1 and the M812A1 both don't have any year of manufacture on the data plates and the axle plates on the tractor are blank (haven't looked at the M812 yet). I am guessing...

Is there a specific TM for the Mack powered 5 tons? The -20 I have has info for the gasser, Mack and the multi but I am looking for specific manuals for just the Mack. I guess I could just use a normal truck manual, but there are some differences.

Can the top of the 5 ton transmission (part with all the shift rails and forks) be removed while the trans is still in the truck? The new tractor has a bad leak on the back at the top to case joint and it would be great if the top could come off while in the truck so I could cleanup and use RTV...

Have an ad in the "want" classifieds for at least 6 of the combat style rims (10" wide, 10 hole). Anyone have the off-set dimensions for these? Also, I can use the older style rims that used tubes if anyone has these. Want to take the spacers off the front of the water truck and run 1400...
