After seeing this, the electrics in my M54A1 just give me soft warm fuzzy feelings... DG

That is right. One can feel the engine pull down a bit when running them. DG

Yep, I use type 4557 lamps. They have two filaments, 400W/1000W. No LED light can even get close to the beam on these. DG

M35 wheel bearings don't get oil. They are all grease hubs. That is, unless your seals are bad. I guarantee, if you get oil in the hubs, it will find your brake shoes too, making a lot of unnecessary work to fix. DG

They were very proud of their parts, $ wise. I had to buy from an exporter, as AMG wouldn't sell anything to me. S/N 000024 was hatched in '83, according to AMG. It was a test truck, not from gov't surplus. They were NOT happy the the museum parted with it. BTW, It was not mine, I just got...

If you pass, please let me know the info on it. I'm interested in one like it. DG

It was designed to switch 120/208V 3 ph. Shouldn't be any problem using two legs of 120/240 single phase thru it, just pick the correct legs to it to work the contactor coils. DG

In those days HUM-things weren't on the market & all 'free' ones were presumed to be stolen. DG

I had S/N 24 turtleback in my shop back in the early 80's. It came from the Kenosha Military Museum, and was in bad shape. Missing parts, all crossmembers cracked, at least it had a clear title. Infested with rat nests. Took 11 months to source things, clean it up, and get it roadworthy...

A vasectomy detector. Insert probe you know where and will tell if you are still safe... DG

Mismatched gear story: A friend bought a new Chevy 2500 4X4. The gears were wrong. The dealer said the axle ratio tags were the same, so he drove it around the parking lot a bit and the transfer case cracked open. Warranty fixed it, happy now. DG

Interesting home-made instrument panel. Some were done like this accommodate the tach et al in the original dashboard opening. I'm partial to '53 trucks---we're the same year! DG

Maybe you have the park and turn wires reversed. DG

Look around SS for 5-ton motorhomes. Plenty food for thought. DG

Welcome home from Maricopa. DG

The toggle, maybe a heater blower. The rotary, no clue. The red light, prolly silent low air alarm. Time to do a Dick Tracey on the wires. DG

Possibles in order of probability: 1...Brakes adjusted too tight 2...Master cylinder internal valve sticking. 3...Wheel cylinder internal corrosion 3...Airpak faulty (check to see if problem still exists with no air in system) 4...Shoe return springs bad or shoe pivots corroded. Could also be...

Here's an ATS for little $: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Onan-OT-125-Automatic-Transfer-Switch-306-3487-06-125A-120-208V-50-60Hz-3Ph-Used/284190537432?hash=item422b1376d8:g:~yYAAOSwvHxdg8us Beats having to flip it manually. Otherwise, prowl around eBay, there are many to choose from, both manual...

I've had several gensets over the years that ran fine, then die. Start it up again, same scenario. In each case it was a shop rag in the fuel tank. It got sucked up to the inlet, stopped the machine. It falls away then, and repeats upon startup. Not funny. DG

It is said to hold it in start for a short time. DG
