. Sad to say that I understand. The ones with and without tits...

. You might try tapping with a hammer as far around the nut as you can reach, then go for it again with a wrench. If you have a spare set of hands - maybe smack the wrench with a hammer. (like you would do with an impact socket that just won't quite budge a lug nut)

. We had a machine that did that ground rod work when building powerlines. Basically a jackhammer attached to a sliding platform. Oh so much better than working hard with a hammer of any kind. Of course, those soldiers in need of "special training" wouldn't have had access to use that tool...

. Honest to goodness, I just can't quite understand how these fittings corrode. They aren't spastic, odd or weird. I got after mine with my normal "angle wrenches". About a third shorter than a regular wrench with a 30° and a 60° on the other end. I got nowhere. Huff and Puff and grunt and...

. Yes Sir. If you can find them I would be happy to read up!

. That is impressive! Mobile Scudd launchers 30 years before anybody had ever heard of such a thing...

. A lot of "quick and efficient" is how involved you want to get in the removal before driving away. I have seen many folks use bolt cutters below the dirt. I was going to suggest a post puller but @chucky beat me to that suggestion. :cool: Another idea is finding the official driver and...

. Thanks Guy! That was what I was attempting to say... These GenSets are a lot like bucket trucks. That ground driven in the dirt makes a better path to ground that the human that walks around the front of the bucket truck - and leans against the truck - as the bucket gets close to an...

. Yes sir. As I understand it, the generator is on the trailer. On rubber tires, but they also don't stay attached to the truck (all the time) and the legs are steel on dirt. So it is similar but different? Agreed 100% that the card carrying electrician isn't going to let you get away with...

. I don't disagree very often, but these MEPs are designed to have ground. It is safety more than anything and bonding the frame and trailer is just one step more - but the code calls for it. NEC code has a little 3 page doc and about 40 words than talks about grounding.

. Could also be that the seals are just old and tired. Seal orientation is simple logic. Swell out keeps the water out.

. Pretty simple rule is always drive a ground and test it's continuity before making power. Yeah, I know. It can be a pain in the anatomy to drive a ground and test it, but dying is even less fun... Here is a two page OSHA piece on grounding. It talks about frame ground and the need.

. Welcome to the outfit! I may as well admit that I know nothing more than how to use the power generated - but we have a heck of a good crew of Generator folks who fix and are willing to help troubleshoot. Be sure to take a bunch of pictures of your unit. Inside and out. We have the TM's...

. I dropped in a link for your new pix. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/new-member-from-dallas-ft-worth-area-new-m1123-owner.205843/post-2397079

. Food for thought... Generally speaking .030 isn't bad. Boring to .060 isn't awful, but it is getting close to the end of being able to bore it again. And I am just GUESSING but I just can't see the military boring a Chevy block out to .075 rather than buying a new one. I don't want to...

. My guess is that a little emery cloth will clean up the spindle. If you don't have that, course steel wool is the same with more effort. Don't get carried away. Buff a little, test fit it dry - and repeat. It looks like your truck may have taken a few trips through a creek or two.

. That is beautiful country! Agreed and sadly, it may come to that... The really crummy part is that all the hype is that the republicans are going to save the world after the election in 2022. I don't believe that - and as far as I am concerned - all of them need to be sent home. The sad...

. THAT piece of hardward broken is really scary! It could be the end of a lot of toys in a ditch...

. Yes sir! I am guessing it is that way on most trains, but there are cameras out in the front of the locomotive. They record what is happening, speed and settings in the train - kinda like a "black box" in an airplane. Sadly, it has to be CYA for the railroad. That way when the cross arms...

. Neat! It looks like your supervisor dog says it's a good deal too :cool: It might be more fun rumbling down the road - but standing here watching isn't bad either!
