    generator to run house and well

    National Elecrtic Code calls for a "transfer switch" to disconnect from utility and connect your house load to the genset. I was looking online today for one of these, I need a 100 amp unit, but these things seem to be way overpriced at $700+ . . . Where are the bargains? I need an outdoor one.

    generator to run house and well

    My little pipsqueak 1.5 kw military generator ran my house including refrigerator for a week during hurricane Ike, but not the central AC which we did not need. My measurements show the AC draws 15 amps running, so the MEP002A which just arrived from Tobyhanna should keep me in the cool for...

    Just weld the cracks. Lots of fishplating will hurt the collector value of the Ford.

    Brake Question

    Try backing off the adjusters, soaking in penetrating oil for a day, and beating on the drum with the outer bearing out. Use a wood block to keep from marring the drum. Beat on it for 30 minutes if you have to, it will break loose.

    Latest Supply Line Issue

    Supply Line arrived in the mail today and all I can say is wow! Quite a bit of the more modern equipment featured that we have been missing for so long. Lots of regional coverage. Thanks for doing a great job, new editor David Doyle and MVPA staff!

    Hard top alignment

    Is your top flush with the edge of the cab? I had to sandwich the round rubber lip in between the cab and the top to get everything flush, and my windows are OK. No kidding about "Landmark Mfg" Total low quality. And they didn't even spell "ordinance" correctly on the data plate, should...

    My vote . . . repacking the cylinder is what fixed this problem on my track hoe.

    S-280 shelter q's

    4000 lbs. Just loaded my 280 into a dropside deuce and the truck didn't even wince. Weight is under a shop van, and those run on down the road really good.

    Transfer case PTO question

    No harm will come from driving the truck with the PTO engaged for a short while. All the PTO does is engage the end of the mainshaft of the transfer case with a sliding dog clutch.

    Found a 75' m880 at my local junkyard.

    Something is wrong there, the bows are military but the clutch pedal sure isn't. Looks like the cab/chassis is ex-department of interior and the bed is ex-military. Thanks for taking the time to post!!! Neat find!

    HELP! 250 cummins

    Well lesson learned, any time you have a "very loud knock", that is a precursor to something even worse, now you will find out what that is. Sounds like something was ingested and now you have a busted piston, scored liner, hammered valves and head.

    What is this?

    The GMC "deuces" from the 1950's had a 4 speed automatic transmission "hydramatic". The transmission is just like today's automatics, it is modulated by the throttle, so shifts happen at higher RPM's when you "get on it". Sometimes, for certain applications such as rock crawling for instance...

    New Engine

    The old standby is the 350 chevy. Goes onto the stock motor mounts and Novak Adapters makes a plate to mount the T-98 to the GM bellhousing. Uses stock radiator, you can keep the 24 volt waterproof ignition if you can find a distributor from a M114 APC. Motor screams at highway speeds just...

    1986 M1008 CUCV in San Antonio TX

    Buyers should never accept a SF97 made out to someone else, they are not transferable unless the person is a dealer. Force the seller to title the truck before buying it or walk away.
