I was tasked to find a 20kw welder generator for work, as a welder it would be exempt from silly generator only regulations. It needs to be able to supply 208 3 phase @ 20kw, it can be military or civilian but must be current production that can be ordered new.
Thanks
I have the hardware kit however the only sheet inside is the inventory of the kit and it tells you to source the instruction sheet. I don't see any pre drilled holes for the support brackets that mount on the rear of the B pillar.
Thank you
I have the cooling system apart for a water pump replacement and I noticed that the fan hub, the part that has the quick disconnect fitting, does not rotate freely, it turns about half a turn and then feels like it has hit a spring detent then will rotate again to another or the same detent, is...
I ordered a new pump from Midwest Military Equipment, removed the old pump, installed the new one on the bracket not paying much attention to an exact match. I installed the pump on the truck(6.5/V-belt)and I noticed the center soft line nipple was hitting on the cylinder head allowing no...
So I picked up my M1097R1 yesterday from Iron/Gov Planet yesterday, I am trying to figure out a few issues I am having. When I first started it to back off the trailer it went right into reverse, backed off, went right into drive and I moved it around the yard. Now it was getting up to...
So I picked up my M1097R1 yesterday from IP, I am now going through all the issues I have found so far. When I received it all the belts were missing, the long top PS bracket bolt was missing, the rest were loose as was the alternator mount bolts, quick disconnect at the fan hub was off. So I...
So I picked up my M1097R1 from IP yesterday, today I began trying to figure out all the faults, I am going to make an individual post for each issue. When I turn on the light switch the horn comes on and stays on, wondering if anyone else has had this happen ? I am going to test the horn...
I have been retired from the Army for many years and it's been a while since I have been around the HMMWV, just bought one at auction and while I'm waiting for the paperwork to clear I am trying to order the parts I need. As you can see from the picture all the belts are missing, the PS pump...
Dale Look "ZIPPY" from Columbia Falls ME has past away March 25 2023, Dale was a great mechanic and long time MV owner, he helped whenever he could, he will be missed.
Public hearing on March 21 1pm room 126 in the state house for repurposed MV. A Maine MV owner with a FMTV was ordered to return his plates by DMV, Maine is or is trying to sneak in laws that we need to fight, please pass the word, the more people there the better.
I would like to upgrade to a 4bbl intake and carburetor on my M886, would like to ask if you have done this and what parts are required, like to buy new. My big concern is mating up the linkage, especially the transmission linkage on the carb.
Thanks
It's been several years since I converted to power steering on my M882, my M886 has the same power steering set up but needs a new drag link. The new surplus ones available say manual steering only, I don't recall having to change the manual steering one when I converted the M882 to power...
Is the factory steering wheel for power steering a smaller diameter than the manual steering wheel ? The power steering with the original(manual)wheel seems too easy to steer.
Thanks
Picked up this M886 from another SS member yesterday, plan is to build it into a commo truck for local ARES events and military shows.
Started today on cleaning up and removing some old parts. Trailer hitch was quite low to the ground so I removed it. The exhaust needs to be replaced and...
Now that the Gama Goat is "finished" it's time to start on another project, the M715. My first purchase was a M715 mud truck project fail, I purchased the body only, the PO sold the chassis off to a friend. The bed was rotten but it had the all important tailgate which was worth more than I...
I am trying to find what plug fits this NATO slave port adapter, I think it may have been designed for a ration heater power supply. Any help appreciated.
Thanks
