Electric motors under 20 hp are not cost effective to rewind. Unless the motors are NEMA frame, such that you could pull the motors and replace with same frame 120/240 V motors, you got pigs in the poke.
Nice unit. These were used in arctic conditions to assist in starting trucks and equipment. That's why it is ducted with the discharge cooling air going back into the flywheel housing.
Your only hope for parts for something this old is ebay. The fuel pump you will have to rebuild yourself with new neoprene material. Any original fuel pump kit you might find will not be usable with modern fuels.
I can triple check tomorrow, but I routinely use the trailer emergency gladhand to supply air to my 1" air impact, by pressing in the trailer brake valve.
Thanks for everyones input so far. Nope I don't have the cpu, monitor or keyboard for the FBCB2 system yet, but I am on the hunt. This very modern equipment is very challenging to put together, but that is what I love about this hobby. Kind of like sourcing a surf shield for a WWII GPA.
The emergency gladhand will only be charged when the trailer brake valve is engaged. The service gladhand will be charged when the foot brake is applied along with the trailer brake valve engaged.
Need some help from some of you that are Active Army. I am trying to piece together the Blue Force Tracker (BFT) FBCB2 computer system for the FMTV. I was thinking I had the right components, but things are not bolting together. Pic 1 is the FMTV radio rack I have. Pic 2 is the mount for the...
As a new M1078 owner, I can tell you that there is NO PLACE to buy parts for these. Sure, Eastern Surplus and MTP has some inventory, but that's about it, and they do not stock a complete line.
Looks like these and all the ancillary parts are coming on the market. Apparently they run Linux and Windows 7. For those of you that have used one (I'm too old to have been exposed to this), is this system usable as a PC, or is the software so embedded that the only thing it will do is Blue...
The GUY? I just know Linda and Maxine. They are a lot of help too! Too bad the Army swapped out your tires and wheels before sending to DRMO. I wanted to bid on that truck in the worst way, but the pills I have been taking for my hoarding disorder kicked in.
The power terminal on the street side is the starter relay. The radio power buss is mounted on the curb side inner fender. Heavy cables routed to the bed for the radio shelf.
I would highly recommend doing what is called a ground hop, that is run the engine OUT of the hull. You need to make 100% sure all the fuel system components are rebuilt and leak tight before running the engine in the hull. The AOS895 is a neat motor, lots of power.
