Static display at the Scottsdale Princess Resort for Veterans Fourth of July event

We had it transported by our go-to guy. We are just at the "get it running' stage right now. Topping fluids, Trying to get power to crank and cleaning the fuel system

spent about an hour today before the heat got to me. Tracing some wiring. It has a 60 amp generator fitted with built in regulator so that explains the missing regulator from the fire wall. The battery positive wire goes directly to the starter solenoid. A wire from the BATT stud goes up to...

It is a sanden compressor. According to the guy at the phoenix AAPAC A/C parts house its the way to go. It came with the red dot system. The guys at AAPAC mad me some hoses while I waited that had sanden compressor ends and the GI block ends that attached to the evap bulkhead block and hard line...

Just digging into a new to me non runner Has the LDS-465-1A multi fuel engine. I spent the long weekend downloading ALL the TMs and going through them looking for the wiring diagrams. I only found one and that was for the early gasser which doesnt match. Mine seems to be a later 60s perhaps...

I do like the look of them like that.

Download the Parts manual TM 9-2320-387-24P It has the diagrams and part numbers/NSN to search on google and ebay to find what you need

No. I would if I had a place to use it. Just a project to learn about these old 5 tons. And compete with the neighbor that just got this nice M817 to take to his off grid compound.

Its not as hard as it seems. I had to search around for the measurements to the cutouts and mounting holes for the condenser unit but it was pretty straightforward after that The two man condenser is mounted on the passenger side but these dimensions worked for me. Electrical diagram I used

You will have to modify the #2 wire that comes off the regulator to add in the tach harness. Its actually easy to do. There in instructions that come with a tach kit. I cant find my pics of it at the moment though

Unknown year M51A2 just picked up from BIA in Tuba City Got it hosed down and making a list of missing parts

My M1123 had the red dot system laying in it when I got it. Like you, I hated the thought of having that ugly contraption on my truck. I did a full retrofit with the fender mount system. You can find just about everything you need NOS. I went with the two man setup as it is really enough to...

If you are not restoring the Fording equipment then the non fording valve it the one to use. Running and driving it wont cause harm unless you go offroad and get dust mud or water in the cut/disconnected vent lines. Look up the diagrams of the vent system in the -24P parts manual It will show...

Tip it forward instead of to the side. You should get some more clearance to get at the blower assembly. Pull it out and go from there. Its basically the only moving part in there.

The sump doesnt get much stress other than expansion or sagging with fuel weight while slamming with the stiff suspension. Thats why I would use four big blobs of RTV to fix it in place like the isolator pads on a radio mount. The intake and return pipes keep it in place even when broken loose...

Are all the accessories original? or did you have to replace something like a missing generator or A/C compressor? Are you sure of your belt routing? Make sure smooth pulleys are against the smooth side of the belt and grooved pulleys are against the grooved side. Ive seen them wrong this way...

I would clean it up good, scuff both surfaces with coarse grit sandpaper and reattach it with some quality fuel proof RTV

Don't those 24 to 12 step down converters draw power all the time? I installed a 200 amp keyed battery disconnect switch on my truck and the original DEKA automotive batteries from 2020 that were in it from gov planet are still going strong with no jump starting required.

When your rear unit cuts off, does the compressor clutch shut off at the same time?
