    Air compressor question

    The best I can come up with in a model is HGR5-8M. I adjusted the cutout down to 125 until I can get a regulator for it. This is the unit I will be using out back in the yard. Right now it is cutting out at 125 and in at 120. I will set it to spec of 175 and 145 when I get the regulator.

    Air compressor question

    OK, Air compressor guys. I have a 15 cfm compressor powered by a 4AO32 engine and a Quincey compressor on what appears to be a 60 gallon horizontal tank. I am trying to find out if this thing is putting out what it should. Got it running great, when it starts, that is another issue. Once running...

    Va Rally at Graves Mountain (Labor Day Weekend) 2013

    Last ones. At this point I want to thank Carl for the exclusive ride in the halftrack, I have never ridden in one and probably never will have the chance again.

    Still going. You will notice that Cabell is still milking the finger injury at dinner.

    Va Rally at Graves Mountain (Labor Day Weekend) 2013

    I will have some pictures up tomorrow hopefully. Need to get unloaded and downloaded. Other than a couple of showers it was a great weekend.

    Just won another GL generator, MEP-003a

    I was watching the Del. units and everything there went nuts, now the trailers are doing the same thing! Full moon maybe??? I didn't even watch the truck prices recently.

    M923a1 alternator voltage gauge readings

    Alternator output is totally dependent on the load it sees from the battery so disconnecting them really tells you nothing other than it is working. It used to be done all the time with generators and it kind of carried over as alternators came in. The old guys will say it will do no harm, well...

    M923a1 alternator voltage gauge readings

    My thought is that you are going to be buying a lot of regulators and electronics if you insist on running it with the batteries disconnected. You are spiking the system every time you disconnect while running and with no load the alternator could very well put out 40-50 volts and blow out...

    MEP-002, 003 timing buttons

    Jerry, I will get them out and get your info, there is nobody around me and if there were they would not know what to do with these anyway I am sure.

    No real way to check them short of replacement is there?

    MEP-002, 003 timing buttons

    Don't know yet Jerry, I have to flow time it. It is a running unit but it acts weird. I had a thread going on it a while ago. It will run smooth and then trail off and stagger along knocking with white smoke for 20-30 seconds and then smooth out for a minute and repeat all over. This came out of...

    MEP-002, 003 timing buttons

    I thought I saw a post somewhere about the timing buttons being more available now, maybe on Ebay? I can't find it in search but then again I am lousy at search phrases. I really need to get the pump changed on my spare 002. Rick

    Buying M1028, 50k or 150k miles?

    If it is set up through the step down resistor on the firewall and you jump the relay with only five good plugs you will have zero good plugs real fast! If you want to try jumping them I would disconnect the two large wires going to the plugs and jump directly to them with one battery, 12 volts...

    Buying M1028, 50k or 150k miles?

    Ga. to NY. in a truck with 4:56 gears! That is gonna be a looooong loud ride. The glow plugs are probably blown out and if they are swelled and break off in the head then the head has to come off. I don't think you want to be doing that on the road. If the glow plugs are not working then how has...

    ETS DITY Move with M932 Fort Benning, GA. to Oregon

    It was not meant as an insult, I am sorry. I will say no more.

    Buying M1028, 50k or 150k miles?

    Looks like most CUCV's at 50,000. I would go with that but remember that service on these was nowhere near as good as in older years. I live on the firing ranges of Ft. Dix and I see trucks all the time with lights out, half flat tires, broken windows. When I was in (1969) you NEVER saw that. It...
