I can't imagine why you are having a hard time finding fuses. Looks like Radio Shack, Grainger, MSC and a ton of other places have them. They're all over ebay too, a couple bucks for a 4 pack. Are they plain 1/4" x 1 1/4" glass tube fuses, like a 1960's car only 250V??

You have to remove the control assembly first. If it still won't come apart your metering sleeve might be stuck to the plunger. Try using a brass punch and small hammer to tap on the end of the plunger ( where you removed the delivery valve and holder) while prying the pump apart.

Not to veer too far off topic, the VMC is a 10hp spindle so I assume I would need at least a 30% larger VFD to run it off single phase. Luckily the machine has a sweet Baldor H2 Vector Drive already on it which could be rewired for single phase input, the bad news is the Vector drive only runs...

Thank you Rusty. No worries, hope you feel better! I'll be looking forward to pics. and videos!

That's exactly why I picked up this -003. I came into some real nice 3 phase machine shop equipment when they closed the engineering tool room at my work ( lathe, 2 vertical CNC mills, a big VMC and a surface grinder.) My plan was to sell some or all of it, but my -002's circuit breaker won't...

Once you remove the shaft and the 4 cap screws (with little metal blocks on them) the unit still will probably not separate easily. You will probably have to use a screwdriver and hammer ( cringe) to pound in there to wedge it apart. Its a tight fit plus any varnish buildup kind of sticks it...

Problem solved!.... The CT tested good so I took a look at the schematic and noticed the wires for the gauge go through the AC reconnect switch. So I exercised the switch a few times, fired it up and voila... 9000W gives me about 72%. Threw another 1200W from a heat gun on the convienance outlet...

Rusty, you need item 46 in the -34 manual correct? The panel mounted in the upper right corner on the back wall of the control cubicle? I know someone who has some MEP parts, I'll check if he has one he's willing to sell.... or trade for a transducer.... ;)

Upon closer inspection it looks like the mice did a little damage to the insulation on a couple of the wires going to the diode bridge, mainly the wire to pos.#6 but the damaged areas are very small and its only the insulation, not the conductor and the exposed areas can not touch anything else...

I recently got my first -003A machine and got it up and running. It runs good and produces a boat load of power, my problem is that the ammeter is reading very low. Probably in the neighborhood of 25% of the actual load. When I put a 9000W load on it the gauge is reading in the 25% load area. I...

Yes, the frequency transducer. 2 out of my 4 machines have had transducers that died and I had to switch to digital gauges. I kind of like the original appearance of these machines so having a spare might not be a bad idea...

Nice work Rusty, its looking good. If you decide to sell any of the stuff you removed, let me know. I wouldn't mind having a spare transducer on hand, if yours is still good.

Rusty, I haven't seen or heard from Craig Tull in at least a year or more. I had an 002 with a bad CVT-1 and he hooked me up with the one he removed from his machine that fried the AC box harness. It was quite a pain to swap out, but it worked good when I was done. If I ever have another one die...

Yup, that's the one I used. There is also another document on their website that breaks the pump down with PN's for each piece too. I have it save on another computer at work or you can dig around on their website. I think you have to look under Military and model 50?? kind of hidden but its...

Kaiser, I'd be willing to bet a good long stretch ( like over the winter) with the 4 ailing batteries on a desulfator would bring them back to life. It works really well on batteries that are starting to fail, it also works sometimes on ones that have already failed but takes a long time to be...

Update... The Ambac order came in Friday and I assembled the pump Sat. ( it was very easy to reassemble and install back in the machine) got it bled out and the machine fired up and makes good power. Got a few little things to fix but all in all it is up and running well! So, for anyone out...

I've all all sorts of mixed luck with batteries. I have an Interstate in my F250 that is probably at least 11 years old and it still going strong, even though the truck will sometimes sit 4 months at a time unused, but I've bought other Interstates, put them in a car ( that is seldom driven) and...

Dang it, I should have looked more closely on here before I bought them!

I recently (last week) ordered 4 from Rock Auto and I got the right part. $14.66 ea with a 4pc. min buy. If you search for CH182 you will get the wrong plug, a CH-147 for $9 ea. I searched for just 182 with Champion in the manufacturer line and got the right one. If you search for CH-42 you get...

Great, thanks LuckyDog. Now I'm glad I chose not to buy the delivery valve spacer (for $30 more) since there's one included in the kit! Although my plan was to go without it based on everyone's replies, but since its in the kit I guess it will be going back in! Hopefully by this weekend it will...
