Hello, guys,
I agree, convert it over to the spin on, it's the way to go. We find that our generators will pick up oil pressure a lot quicker than with the canister type. But having said that, what we have found is that NAPA 5108 works absolutely perfect for it, for the square O ring. For...
Just a suggestion about drying the fuel tank; we have found what works really well for us is to use a leaf blower. Place the nozzle/port into the fuel filling cavity, wedge it between two items, i.e. a rock or stump, and on the leaf blower end, a cooler full of beer. If the leaf blower starts...
David, no urgency as we are negotiating with the seller for the item. We are looking into transport/shipping costs to see if it is a viable buy.
Thanking you so much, Kevin and Nancy
We are looking to transport one 3 x 3 crate weighing about 400 pounds from Janesville WI 53547 and bring it as close as possible to North Carolina, 27312. Can anyone help?
Many thanks, Kevin and Nancy
Hey AM,
First, congratulations on getting the mule up and running. A word of caution, however; not trying to be a d*ck, but these vehicles can kill. They overturn very easily, and you may only get one chance. We keep all of our mules in low range only. We would hate to see you flip it...
Thank you so much, Chainbreaker and Jamawieb for the information on the panel and especially on Dzus fasteners. Completed the job this weekend.
What I did was I cut the old panel about 2" larger all the way around the fasteners, and took it into the shop and was able to heat the shafts and...
Guys, can somebody help me please?
Having had experience, is there a method of transferring the stud fasteners on the door latch of the front panel across to a replacement new panel? Re: TS6115-585-24P/5 (3 in total)
Stock number for this fastener/door latch is 5325-00-599-8854 69-694-8...
Continuing with no oil presure problem
Guys, thank you so much for your input(s). I will definitely check everything especially the electrical connections. I feel that at the moment I will take the oil pressure gauge off, and crank it over; if oil comes out I'll know the pump is doing its...
Guys, I know this subject has been beaten to death--but I have a unit with 42 hours on the meter that was running perfectly in an emergency situation running the pumps for the entire water system for a private school. It ran about 3 hours then shut down abruptly. First check--oil was honey...
Today's update, guys: have ordered a new air reduction starter motor, and unfortunately will not be able to get back to the machine until Saturday though I intend to go back through everything again following all your wonderful suggestions. Thank you so much for your support, and will keep you...
Hey guys, here is the current update. One of the members, Chris, is being extremely supportive, and has offered many suggestions by phone. At daylight on Sun. morning, I went out and checked the machine over. The first thing I did was disconnect the batteries, and noticed that the ground on...
Initially cranked and ran beautifully, but then just quit. Won't crank, no panel lights, nothing.
Thanks so much for input, grateful for any assistance.
Power went out, so started up the MEP-003 and it ran beautifully for about 20 minutes, then utterly failed. No readings on any of the gauges, nothing.
We don't have access to the manuals at the moment, so any suggestions will be most gratefully appreciated.
Hello all,
We too have experienced problems with the ethanol in the gas. John Emory has plenty of spare carburators and pumps, and if you go on the G503 site there is a lot of wonderful information on there to help you. John Emory bought out Bill Watson's stock when he retired.
As far as...
"Redneck" and "hillbilly" are pejoratives similar to the "n" word and not usually accepted as proper references, Jeff. To apply these words to people who wish to pursue a wholesome hobby such as vehicle restoration on their own private property goes against the grain of living in what some of...
Love to hear more: I know some people doing duckweed in NC on wastewater lagoons but don't know how the technology translates. Keep it up, being "cheap" is just being good old American frugal!
