I always make sure I drive mine at least once per month. I also always have a 24 VDC battery tender hooked up.

You are absolutely correct in that you can find some fantastic deals on high quality 3 phase power tools at auction. I have almost quit looking for single phase equipment for this reason. The vast majority of home owners don't have access to 3 phase power unless they install a converter.

One question I didn't see an answer for concerns whether or not being off-grid is a permanent thing or do you intend to go on-grid at some point in the future. This question should impact your decisions. I am not off-grid, but I have an MEP003A that is trailer mounted. I have the single phase...

When starting the unit, you should leave the start switch in the start position until the oil pressure is up and the field is flashed. I usually hold mine in the start position for about 15-20 seconds. Mine flashes 100% of the time.

I had a rear crankshaft seal leak on another vehicle. After replacing the seal with a new one (Chinese), the leak was much worse. I replaced the seal again with an American made seal and no more leaks. Make sure you have a good quality seal, if the leak is indeed from the rear seal.

I suspect they will sink in the soil, but give it a try and let us know how it goes.

I'm glad you got it home!

I have no idea if Hayes changed it out. However, I have ridden my M1030M1 a lot since I got it and have not had any issues.

AGM batteries are great. You should use a battery charger that is designed to charge AGM batteries. I use a NOCO Genius Model 7200 which will handle various voltages, including 24, and also AGM. The battery charger automatically adjusts to the battery it is connected to regardless of voltage...

Put an exhaust flapper on it before you have a repeat.

Keep it!

I found out the history of one of my deuces by contacting the unit that it was assigned to before being surplused. Of course this only works if you can read the military unit markings on the truck and if the unit still exists. I found out a lot of recent information on my deuce this way (~10...

Why not just go ahead and register the trailer in PA before the recovery and take the tag with you? Use trailer towing lights and you should be good to go.

Rest in peace Neil. Condolences to the family. Neil was a very good man.

I've been pulled over several times driving one of my deuces without tags. They never mentioned the fact that I didn't have tags mounted. They pulled me over to look at my truck because they thought it was cool and were interested. Although I almost never have my tags mounted, I do keep them...

Ditto on the FDC. It isn't that hard to bypass.

In Georgia you can simply give DMV a VIN number and they will provide a temporary tag free. However, the last time I picked up a trailer and had the temporary tag, I couldn't get any kind of tape to stick to the fresh CARC on the trailer and ended up carrying the temporary paper tag in the...

I made it home late Sunday afternoon in a caravan with Microjeep. I had a fantastic time, even with the rain Saturday. Many thanks to Welder1 for the hospitality and especially for taking the time to fabricate the ammo box and brass label for my Grandson Travis. He can't stop talking about...

Leaving Hiawassee in about an hour. Still pouring down rain here, but everything is loaded.

How far have you driven it in 1st gear? You may want to drive it a fair distance in 1st until the transmission is thoroughly warmed up, but be careful not to overspeed it. I'm assuming that it still has motor oil in the transmission? Mine used to delay shifting up and especially down when I...
