Sounds like you have a neat operation too! Yes sir. A 40 horse electric motor is a real beast. There are a lot of switches in a cabinet that is about six feet tall and 3 feet wide. The second motor on all of them is for blast and suction and they range in size according to age. Sounds like...

Welcome from North Carolina! It's a green (tan) disease I tell you!! But wow is it ever fun... Drive, work, adjust, drive, adjust, adjust, drive. Still though, there isn't anything much more fun that you can do - with your clothes on - than having a MV. Me personally, at the moment I...

Absolutely! You hit the nail on the head!!

Thanks for the info NY Tom . There a few things on the 240v service and if I could find something to supply the 480v, it would be worth doing the same for the smaller service. We have three 17 ton HVAC units running off the 480 and a couple of printing presses with 3-Phase 80 amp breakers and...

One more heck of a truck - but without axles and and engine about all it would be good for is as a parts machine - or back in the day - it could have been a city park playground toy. But now days the younguns aren't as smart as they used to be and might fall off it. And the parents would sue...

So... I have a sneaking suspicion that I may be thinking too large - but here in my work building - we have our own dedicated 40kv transformer feeding the equipment. We have several machines that use 480v 3-Phase "industrial power". Industrial Power is what Duke Power calls it... Besides...

Yeah, I wasn't going to be far behind you Another Ahab . I started looking to see if the old E2C Hawkeye was on that list :-( Seems that all is well and they are still in need of both planes. Not like they would let a 60 year old, even one with experience ride in one ever again...

Wow... I remember seeing that building down at the bottom of the hill in some of your first pictures. Definitely not far from the house! Pretty amazing how the grass is scorched almost completely and the little pine tree is burned at the bottom - but a few feet up it doesn't look like it was...

Nice piano hinge there... All you need now is the piano that fits it ;-) How thick is that pin? It looks incredibly "beefy" for sure!

Welcome from the other side of the country! Lots of MV's come up for sale here. Maybe more important that that would be the TM's for the truck you are considering. Or just flat out asking questions if you are trying to decide on a particular truck... WELCOME from North Carolina!

Real happy to hear that you are safe and that your critters, house and barn weren't burned. Unfortunately the truck has to wait a few days - but it gives you something to look forward to. Your earlier idea of adding a water tank to it may be more important than ever...

You wouldn't want to drive a vehicle with air over hydraulic that wasn't functional. You would stand on the brake peddle with both feet and pull on the steering wheel and slow down. Actually stopping where you want to stop on the other hand - not very reliable without the brake booster doing...

bigmike, I am glad to know it isn't just me that uses tape or old bell wire to simplify things going back together. Sure makes it easier... Sometimes I wonder what we ever did before cameras on phones. ;-) Congrats on a no leaks inside the motor! I feel your pain with the heat. This...

I am definitely not the resident expert here on the use of "search". My opinion of our search engine isn't very high (to put it nicely). TM9 2320-212-10 Operator's Manual is TM 9-8031-2 Power train,Body & frame. (No engine info ) TM 9-1840A Ord maint, engine & clutch ( "GREAT" rebuild manual...

Welcome to the group! We love pictures... Snap up a few and use the "ATTACH FILES" paperclip to add them to a post and show off your new project. If you haven't already done it, pull down the TM's (Technical Manuals) for your M37. The -10 book is the light weight "owner/operator" version...

Early congratulations on getting your truck tomorrow. Don't forget to snap lots of pics. Especially while it is still on the trailer and as she comes off... As far as "EUC Speed" is concerned, you have to remember - this is the same government that you once served - and you know how they can...

Seems like you got a heck of a good deal! Welcome fellow North Carolinian!!

Sounds like you have a wonderful missus. After all, a boy has to have his toys and she is helping make sure that happens. :cool: I hope your truck shows up soon! Gotta make sure that you give us all a nice round of pictures...

Welcome! Tons of good information here and lots of people willing to give good advise. Pictures are a major motivator - and wow- like m1010plowboy said that is some nice looking wilderness behind your truck.

Sounds like a stupid idea until you think it through -- but when I try to chase down a wiring problem I go directly to the negative post on the battery. I have a big fat alligator clip on one end of a piece of 14 gauge wire. I stick it up on top of the battery terminal where a good hard yank...
