gunwriter, As a military generator mech, I should be able to work through your problem. But right now I do not have time. Please post on: Military MEP and Aircraft Gen-Sets - SmokStak This is a form for generator collectors and mechanics (steel soldiers for generators). Good Luck Avn-Tech

Group, Last week my stepson graduated from 8th grade, and I needed to pick-up items at Barstow. I called and talked to Tim to schedule a late pick-up. Tim agreed to stay a little late if necessary to help me complete my pick-up. I arrived about 10-20 min late (for the last pick-up time) and...

Buddy Holly, I invested in a centrifical filter to filter my WMO, and am glad I did. I sill have not gone through the tank of Diesel that came with my truck. But my friends are burning through the oil as fast as I can filter it. They are running straight filtered WMO in their Deuces and have...

TexAndy, I just purchased an M200A1 generator trailer to mount my 500 gallon fuel/oil tank on. I am now waiting on my EUC to clear, to match the two up. I will post some photos when I get the conversion completed. The other advantage, is the tank will be above the tanks on my Deuce and I can...

Earth, I have two MKT's for sale in CA, both have the converters, MBU units, cabnets, ect in them. I would not mind parting one or both out, but would need to sell enough parts to get a return on my investment. Laterrrrr Avn-Tech

M16TY, I was looking at making my Deuce into a dump bed also. After reading several of the post here on SS, I was tryig to figure out how to tilt the bed, and keep the stock parts (pintel/Bumperets). I had an idea that I could slide the bed back about 1-2' then tilt it (like a tow truck does...

fuzzytoaster, I will be tackling the same thing for my Jeeps (CJ-2, X 2 ea), later this year. If I can find an original, I am sure I can copy it. Included is a photos of my most recent CJ-2 project. Laterrrrrrrr Avn-Tech

Filtering WMO Group, I have a centrifuge for filtering WMO/Trans Fluid, and I am glad that I filter my oil. Like was said in a previous post, most of the particulate matter will settle to the bottom of a tank if let sit long enough. Also heating (sunshine) will help to settle the oil. While...

Will, I would love to attend the techappi event, but unfortunatly the military told me I have to go to Hawaii during that time frame (yes I am catching lots of flak from the wife who also wants to go). There are at least two other Deuces in Techappi (Shannon sold one last week to an owner in...

Group, A small movie studio I provide props for has asked me to find them a military tent to use for a public service announcemnet (military to collage) being shot next wed. The studio is located just north of Mojave CA. Please contact me offline to discuss. Thank You Avn-Tech John Fischer...

Group, At my local NAPA, I can drop off a part and they will research until they find it. They have even matched up aircraft parts (expermental aircraft) for me. What I like best, is that I can call from out of town and have the parts waiting for me when I return to town to complete the job...

Group, Zoning issues are somthing most people face (I had issues, for a while). I have a WW II, F7F-3 sitting in my back yard (there are 14 F7F,s, accounted for, mine is #15). I used to get grief from my city council, then I laid the verticle stab on its side so it did not stick up over my...

greenjeepster, You need to talk to the yard and provide them with containers to seperate the oil. If they are paying to have it removed, you will save them money. Make it to their benifit to keep them seperated for you. Good luck Avn-Tech

Group, Sorry the photos did not come through. 1. Phase Two 2. One By One Laterrrrr Avn-Tech

Group, My first experiance with the movies (Fast Glass, yet to be released) was about 3 years ago. While I was out of town working, I received a call (wed evening), asking if they could use one of my aircraft hangers to film a movie. I asked when they wanted to start filming, and the reply was...

Group, Probably the best thing to use a 400 HZ generator for is parts. All MEP series generators have 60 HZ equals. Buy a 60 HZ one, with a bad engine, and a 400 HZ with a good engine. Scrap the parts that do not interchange to recoup a part of you original investment. I even checked into...

Group, Having recently purchased a HUMVEE project, they are quite expensive. It seems every part cost over $1000 (making one worth several million dollars in theroy). By the time I am done with mine (complete rebuild, every nut/bolt and washer), I will probably be in it $30-40K. I am...

Group, I have owned an M35A2C for almost a year now, but the military would not recognize and license me to drive theirs. Even though every month, a report comes out saying that I need to be licensed to drive one. Currently I am attending training at March ARB, Regional Training site. I told...

Charlie, I see TH-55's come up for sale every once in a while, but they are not cheap to rebuild and fly. All of the rotatably parts are life limited and need replaced often, like all helo's. Places to look: Barnstormers Ebay Trade A Plane Good Luck, If you get one I have several hangers...
