    Off to Fort Meade

    If this is your first trip to Maryland and you have the time, you should visit the museum at Anniston. It is definitely worth it.

    Spin On Question

    I don't think it's that hard to change the cartridges, so I'm sticking with the originals.

    Help With Finding Cheap Insurance

    Mine is insured with State Farm - no problems. I know several people have insured with Progressive. I talked with Progressive and they undercut the State Farm price, but not enough to make me change. I would call Progressive back and go up the food chain.

    Great looking M37! It looks like it is in great shape. I'm assuming you plan to bring it back to OD?

    Anyone Order From Saturn Surplus?

    I've ordered from Saturn around 10 - 12 times, the last order received this past Friday. Excellent service and never had a problem. Amazingly fast service. Call them - something is wrong.

    troop seat help??????

    It may be cheaper and definitely easier to simply buy some troop seats. I see them for sale quite often, both fiberglass and wood.

    diesel ATVs, are there any military ones?

    I did see a diesel Polaris years ago. I believe it was being pushed on the logging industry. I don't think they have sold it in many years and I don't know who made the engine. The closest I know of is the John Deere M-Gator. These are equipped with a Yanmar diesel. They are now being...

    Need help troble shooting the air over hydrolic breaks

    You are much better off with DOT 5, which is silicone based, not glycol based. DOT 5 is very expensive in stores, but you can find it very inexpensively sold by the gallon by many MV parts suppliers and on E-bay. DOT 5 does not attract water like DOT 3 does.

    Won One Mep002a

    Congratulations! When you flush the fuel system, don't forget to clean the strainers in all three fuel pumps. It only takes a few minutes. Ditto on the Fram fuel filters. I found mine on Amazon for a good price and arrived in 3 days.

    EUC & Insurance - both today...!

    Congratulations! When do you pick up your A3? Progressive and State Farm are two of the insurance companies that don't hassle you about insuring a Deuce, and their prices are reasonable.

    Too much fuel in engine - a lesson learned

    You can actually break a piston if that much raw fuel enters the intake because when an intake valve opens, fuel can fill the cylinder and when the piston comes up on compression, the liquid is not compressible.

    Failed Inspection... What Gives?

    I used a manual 400-amp 4-pole transfer switch I found on e-bay with my MEP-003A hooked to whole-house 400-amp service. You could always buy a manual transfer switch and sell the automatic switch. My installation passed both the county electric inspector and the EMC inspector as well. Make...

    MEP-003A No-start After Fuel Filter Replacement

    I know the coke has a lot of phosphoric acid in it, but what is the asparagus supposed to do? They have now decided to blast the stone, maybe next Thursday.

    MEP-003A No-start After Fuel Filter Replacement

    It runs again! I'm not sure how air got in the lines from the IP to the injectors since I didn't have that apart , but bleeding the lines from the IP to the injectors did the trick. New fuel filters, cleaned fuel screen and cleaned all three fuel pumps filters as well as cleaned fuel tank and...

    Got the rifle holder mounted today

    When I put mine in I used the kit from Saturn. It had template drawings that made it very easy to locate the holes. They work great. I mount an M1A and an AR15A2 in it for parades, etc.

    MEP-003A No-start After Fuel Filter Replacement

    No updates. I'm laid up with a 6mm kidney stone I can't pass. Between the pain and the pain killers, the genset has taken a back seat.

    MEP018A Genset Regulator---fried

    Try Delk's Army Navy Surplus. They have a lot of parts for military gensets and usually they are fairly priced. I've also found them to be very fast. Good luck! Delk's Army Navy Surplus 4705 US Hwy 64 W Asheboro, North Carolina 27205 +1 336-629-0991

    steering bump ?

    This sounds like a bad ball bearing inside the steering box to me. If you disconnect the load during your investigation, the bump may go away, making you think it is not coming from the box. I would recommend having someone turn the wheel while you place your hand on the steering box and see...
