It's been a while since I've done much of anything as we've relocated to Central NV for new jobs. I figured adding the pic I took just before we moved from AZ would be a fun add. In the pic I finally got all the fuel can mounts reinstalled and the cable reels bolted down. The rear chest is still...

You're a gentleman and a scholar. Thank you! Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk

Also got a new-used toy in the mail this past week...a Fluke AC/DC current clamp. It goes fashionably well with my Fluke 87V meter. I was able to measure the hot legs at the lugs to verify all the gauge readings are on par when running the 5000W shop heater as a load bank. (Sorry I didn't get a...

Shenanagains cont'd: Took about a month to find all the right pieces commercially, but I basically I was able to meld the equivalent MEP fuel tank drain pieces to the drain of my 96 gal x-fer tank that lives in the bed of my plow truck. Since both are the same size, the OE external fuel line...

It's a keychain. We have them fror sale in our snackbar at work. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00W63X0LA/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glt_fabc_AQ8R6CRTTKTHGF9VYZBX?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk

The trailer gods have bestowed great gifts upon the... Updates on some chores: - A couple sellers on eBay offer a commercially available 8' 7-way RV trailer whip with the appropriate weather-tight Packard terminals crimped and ready to go. This whip installs exactly as the NATO 12-wire whip...

Commencement of shenanagains continues....enter the poor man's load bank. A note of interest that I haven't mentioned previously, we live in the mountains of Northern Arizona at an altitude of roughly 6860 ft. which according to the data plates de-rates this thing down to 4.3K...but I have yet...

Sometimes it's the small details that make the package. I thought since there's plenty of open space in these GM wheels that the look would appreciate a little old-school treatment of black to the brake drums...give that polished aluminum the "pop" it deserves. The drums were a PITA to get off...

Knee-jerk reaction project courtesy of another thread about battery chargers kicked me in high gear. So this other member posts up about which proper charger to use on his 803A and @Light in the Dark promptly dropped what I call a "NOCO bomb" which was like a slap in the face as I already run...

Sorry, just saw this. Yes, the 50A RV outlet on the bottom of the panel is what I used to backfeed the house. Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk

New test: backfeed the house...simulated power outage. For the record, this process can be deadly if done out of sequence. There are zero safeguards, and it goes in direct violation of the NFPA NEC. I consulted my highly qualified professional electrician before I went down this rabbit hole to...

The box of brake parts goodies were sourced from the manufacturer Mendenhall Industries directly via their "contact me" link on their website. Their owner called me. Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk

@CallMeColt might you have an illustrated version you can share? Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk

Future plans include but are not limited to the following: -Oil change and filter with fresh JD break-in oil (it still has its factory break-in oil and all filters are still painted green) -Coolant flush and fill with Caterpillar HD coolant -Pump/drain the old remaining Diesel, fill with fresh...

Mulligan! Round 2 had me adding tank cleaner and biocide to the mostly full tank. I tightened the smaller fuel filter housing as it had a slow-dripping leak. This time has us running on 100' 50A 6/3 8/1 generator cord to 50A spider box. Gun 1200 13.5% Toaster 1200 26% Shop heat 1500 45%...

Enter commencement of shenanagains: 1) used the aux fuel line to suck some fresh diesel out of my Kerosene heater, hoping to dilute down some of the old nasty. System worked flawlessly. Still dark, but now I can see to the bottom. (Still smells pungent) 2) set gen to 120v. Broke out my 30A...

Been some time I've been wanting a sibling set of 802 and 803 units mounted on 116A3 trailers...the 802 being most desired ATM. (Last summer I brought home an unmolested 101A3, it needed some TLC so now I have spare parts for both trailers.) Back in Oct of '20 I found this 802 in Phoenix when...
