    MEP 005A 30k parts, where?

    Is it safe to assume that my volt regulator is not operating correctly? Could it be the sole reason for my issues? (i.e. S9 could be functioning correctly?) I will try to contact him today about the possibility of a replacement A11. I had to leave early yesterday for work on the road this week...

    MEP 005A 30k parts, where?

    I went ahead and opened A11. I believe I located the A5 board and it looks old and rough. I still have not been able to determine where K5 is but there is definitely some burnt resistors on the board. I attached pictures of the board. Bad weather has caught me and had to close it up for the...

    MEP 005A 30k parts, where?

    Ok, I believe I correctly tracked down "TB-16". On VDC I got no readings while starting and holding the S1 (I believe is S2 on my gen because S1 is the "Engine Primer" switch) for 6-8+ seconds. photo of believed to be TB-16?

    MEP 005A 30k parts, where?

    Thanks for the reply. I have downloaded TM5-6115-465-12. I checked to Hertz and A/C gauges this morning and they do not move. (They bounce maybe 1/4” but I think that’s just a result of movement of the machine) From reading previous post I have the electronic version switch. When I removed it I...

    MEP 005A 30k parts, where?

    I acquired a mep-005a that won’t produce power. Motor runs strong but voltage gauges do not register. Service outlet has no power output and the three legs register no voltage. I’ve taken the cover off the voltage regulator box and there are some rough looking “capacitors” (I think that’s what...

    Turn Signal Troubleshoot

    I have been battling my turns signals with no success. Only the driver side turn signals would work. I didn't want to just buy a flasher and lever assembly although I suspected either to be the issue. I found this post and cleaned the contacts in the lever assembly and everything is working...

    '71 M35A2 air compressor lubrication

    It never actually stopped working it just started to make some horrible squealing/scraping noises. I will definitely change fluids and filters to be on the safe side. Are you saying the oil pan needs to be dropped or just fluids changed?

    '71 M35A2 air compressor lubrication

    Got the compressor belt off today. Compressor is definitely the problem. I never knew the truck could sound so good without that compressor hooked up! Now to find a new compressor.

    '71 M35A2 air compressor lubrication

    I'm still trying to troubleshoot the noise to be 100% certain before I purchase a compressor. I'm thinking if I remove compressor belt and noise goes away I should be confident its the compressor. Would there be anything mechanically negative to running the motor without compressor belt installed?

    '71 M35A2 air compressor lubrication

    Same Compressor problems I've been doing some searching and only found your post that relates to the symptoms I'm having. Mine just started a loud squeal/grinding like a pulley bearing going out. Was hoping it was compressor belt but from further inspection its like its coming from inside the...
