I just would like to get some clarification from some of the guys that have used the Behr exterior flat paint with the primer included on the cure time. I have read many threads saying it takes a long time to cure. I am starting to get nervous about my restoration of my M416 trailer. I...
ETN550, thank you so much for the great info!! I will attempt to perform the procedure as stated in the TM. Hopefully between it and your explanation I can figure it out. It sounds kind of complicated and may be out of my realm of knowledge but i will give it a try. Thanks again, Lewis
ETN550, first of all thank you for your input. It is much appreciated!!! now, if I may ask for some clarification. Are you refering to adjusting the governor linkage per TM 5-6115-615-34 on page 7-6 ? I am sorry I do not understand what u mean by "do the full linkage setup" thanks again...
Derf, thank you for the info! Both mine are Onan powered with around 800 hours on them. One runs like a champ but the other is a different story. Once fired up it reaches 60 hertz and will hold for about 30 seconds then it always wants to slowly rev up. Myself and my diesel mechanic friend...
Can someone please point me in the correct direction. I am looking for a governor for one of my gensets. Its the 701a model. I believe i have narrowed the problem down to a bad governor. Any help would be appreciated but the unit seems to not want to hold 60 hertz. It always wants to over run...
My transfer case does the same thing. it hits the tunnel in the same place. it mostly happens under hard acceleration from a standstill. No clunking while driving tho. i actually bent the tunnel up just a shade and that helped a bunch. my motor mts are good. my transmission mount may need...

brothers could...
If u need some help
On the shock replacement u can pm me and i will stop by and show you how to do
It It is pretty straight forward I think it's only 4 bolts then the Lunette comes of and then you can take the shock out. Any luck on the jack handle?
At the risk of sounding stupid I'll ask Can you tell me what the triangle means please. The m1009 in my avatar was once desert tan an d on the door I can see what looks like an upside down "v" in thick paint with rough brush strokes. This is also on the hood
You can make one pretty easy if you know how to weld. Several of the trailers I had had the handles missing. If you need the specs you can look online or pm me I can show you the ones I have made. Ps did you find the correct # for the shock from croft?
12vman, if it bug jumps when you are stopping it is most likely the shock absorber in the surge brake. I have replaced three on mine and that has always fixed the problem. U can get them from croft trailer supply. I am at work or I would get u the correct part number.
Btn, I would have it towed to e-town. It may take half Of the day to get on base at Knox. The people at the gl lot Noel and Josh are awesome but I can't say the same for the people at the guard shack. If u had it towed Maybe the shop can give it the once over so u will know what to expect...
Can I get anyone's thoughts on putting thespacers between the frame rail and the crossmember on a stock m1009. I understand you will lose 1 inch of ground clearance but are there any other issues to be aware of?
