I was reading the instruction label on a 8K Chinese generator. It had numerous beakers. The instructions said to individually turn the breakers on one at a time starting with the highest load. I understand the logic behind this. If the power has been off for a while things like the...

Just got the MEP003 that came with the M1061 trailer/laundry unit AKA Kermit hauler running. Looks like it was completely serviced and never run. Fresh oil, air and oil filters etc. The DC control breaker pops after several minutes of running. The battery charge meter is in the yellow. Oil...

We all know at this point that the ABS upgrade was to resolve the torque converter not unlocking during a panic stop. The $50,000 question is why not get the vendor to fix the "defective" torque converters. The answer may lie in who paid for the upgrade the vendor or Mr./Mrs./Ms. Taxpayer. Does...

Earlier I sent out a request for an inexpensive Helmet for the "Battlefield Cross" Memorial in the M944. The one I was borrowing belonged to a decorated Viet Nam vet. The liner was the actual one he wore in Viet Nam. Was paranoid it would get stolen. Not only would amgeneral72 not let me pay...

I'm in the process of doing a "By the book LO" Lube on the M944. I'm targeting all the GAA (Grease Atomic Awesome) lube points. How much grease am I supposed to pump into the forward and rearward steering knuckle ports. And yes I'm putting the plug back in after lubing.. Stay tuned for...

The M944 lost a “U” joint on the way to the Georgia meet and greet. First and foremost thanks Andy D w/Acorns., Ken, Andy C. and Carrie-Ann (Dorothy). Once again it was proven that MV’s are just a catalyst to be close caring friends. Bless all of you. The smoke was so bad I thought I...

I think this is the first non septic tank work with Kermit. Transplanting trees. My wife said that if she was paying me to do it she wouldn't pay me :-(

What in the fuel gauge circuit stops the needle from swinging back and forth as the fuel sloshes in the tank? Fuel gauge fundamentals; Think I have the fundamentals on how a fuel gauge work. The sending unit has what amounts to a wire wound variable resister. There is an arm with a float...

Just read this in the S.E.E. operators manual. I've heard of diesel engines running backwards but not caused by improper rate of speed or gear selection. Do they mean lugging the engine? "While loading bucket or pushing material, maintain proper gear range and constant rate of speed. Failure to...

My FLU419 fuel system was terribly varnished up when I got her. Actually beyond varnished. Everything that touched fuel had to be attended to. Rebuild the IP and injectors, Cleaning replacing fuel lines, filters housings. Now I'm looking for something to soak the filler neck fuel stainer...

Using the K.I.S.S. philosophy I'm thinking of putting a fill plug opposite the drain plug on the filter canister to reduce no oil pressure run time after a filter change. Any thoughts why this wouldn't work.

I have a blown high beam one side and a blown low beam other. It came with a blown headlight. I replace one already and it blew shortly after. As parts are hard to come by I want to be pretty sure what part needs replacing. I'm thinking it is the alternator regulator. Haven't checked yet if it...

Disclaimer; not a liable prone how to, Just sharing my experience. The radiator drain petcock is right above the glad hand, use a cut section of garden hose to direct the draining coolant into the bucket. (B.T.W. petcock end is hard to find in the dirt). Used a 2" 3/4 drive socket for an...

I going to be hooking up my MEP-003A as stand-by and to run the three phase stuff that cane with the M944A1. Transfer switches cost over $300.00 and the enclosres are huge. Why is that? I can buy a Chinese double pole single throw knife switch for under a hundred dollars. What kind of enclosure...

M944A1 w/NHC250, All of a sudden the coolant tank level is too high. Just enough for the overflow to drip on a race track with engine shut off. With the engine cold I took the cap off and coolant came out. Any chance of some sort of air bubble? Transmission cooler leaking? Bad thermostat? It has...
