I picked up an M105A2 trailer at Ft Riley a few years back. I entered by the main gate for civilian trucks and it took only about 10 minutes. I was likely very lucky. The DRMO folks advised me to depart by a seldom-used gate, which I did. They told me that the highway patrol and local...

Also, if the cover is open, the genset will overheat and shut down, even in cool weather. The cover directs air where it's needed.

Are you sure you have oil pressure? If you lose oil pressure, the genset will shut down. As others have stated, turn the pumps on but don't start the engine. Remove the fuel cap and listen to make sure you have fuel returning to the tank. It is very easy to hear the fuel splashing into the...

:DIt's raining!!! We are getting some rain in the North Georgia mountains tonight and are expected to receive a lot more in the next few days. Hopefully, this will slow the fires down. :grin::grin::grin:

I'm assuming here that you are talking about a genset? Normally, if a Hobbs meter is labeled as 'reset' it means that it has been reset. This is a common practice in the military when equipment is rebuilt. Usually, reset labels are not applied when the meters are replaced or run back. Never...

You are making us very jealous! We may be getting some rain the next few days. I hope so. We just passed the 132 year record for continuous days of drought here. I believe the previous record was set in 1884.

I'll take any and all rain I can get!

Ditto!

My rain gauge was only wet on the bottom. No measurable precipitation. However, it did dampen the leaves on the ground, which is a big help. Hopefully we will get some more rain.

The one on my water buffalo is stainless steel. I would bet it would be very easy to rebuild with standard o-rings and seals from your local hardware store. The faucet appears to be very robust, so I doubt something broke inside, unless someone took a wrench to the faucet stem and broke something.

The Rock Mountain fire near us is almost certainly arson. What I think ought to be done to an arsonist is politically incorrect.

The air pressure regulators on A3 steering have a habit of failing. Mine failed on my A3 shortly after I received it from GL. I found NOS ones on Ebay and bought two for $15.00 each. I installed one, which is very easy, and kept a spare. No problems since. I dismantled the failed unit and...

The Rock Mountain fire in North Georgia and Western North Carolina has now burned about 14757 acres and is growing. The fire is only about 30% contained at present. The fire is about 6 or 7 miles from out house and about 3.7 miles from my sister-in-law's house. I've offered up both of my...

When your power is out and the 003A is running, that noise sounds pretty good. I wouldn't touch an ASK for the reasons previously mentioned. My 003A is trailer mounted and I keep it in the garage out of the weather. When running, I leave the garage door open for ventilation and the garage...

That deuce just needs to be cleaned up and painted. It appears to be all there. Hopefully, the drive train is good.

I've seen a lot for sale on Ebay in the past for reasonable prices, some NOS. There are also some A3s being parted out.

I finally rolled in around 6:00 PM. My M35A3 broke down on Apple Pie Ridge Road about 2 miles from US 441. The check valve on top of the fuel tank plugged up. The truck quit on a bad curve. I flagged down a guy in a pickup and he pulled me off the road. I found a farmer that lent me the one...

Unfortunately, I can't leave until late Wednesday afternoon. :cry: Looking forward to arriving sometime around 1700 - 1800. Going 45 mph from Hiawassee to Durhamtown in my M35A3 is anything but fast. Bringing a large list of things I need to buy and some things to sell. Hopefully, I'll find...

I'm keeping the CTIS on my truck. It works quite well, but I don't use it, I just leave it turned off. I run 60 PSI in my 14.5 X 20 tires and the truck runs much smoother with the higher pressure and I suspect my tires will last longer. I had to rebuild one hub when I first got the truck...

I'm still using the CTIS, so I think I still need the original valve stems. I just used my last spare one as a replacement for a very corroded one on a leaking tire/wheel. I still have two tires that leak down over two weeks and I don't want to tear them down unless I'm prepared for the worst...
