Alternator and drive belt were achievable. Got last new oem alternator a seller on ebay had (on buy it now status) for $200 less than any others I saw. It looks very hard to find the clutches or the fuseblock label. Not a photo on the web of the label that a google lens search or the part number search can find. I looked through all of the upcoming and sold MRZRs whete these come from and not one clear photo of it. I have one thats close to clear. Was hoping some eagerly kind person would pop their rear left seat up and take a photo of that label. I got one close enough to differentiate between where relays go vs where fuses go at least.View attachment 928393View attachment 928393
For the relays, i can send you a picture from the service manual so you know what is what. Fot the clutches, good luck. I have been trying to locate them to have as spare and i can't find it with the part number. I even wrote an email to Team yesterday, awaiting their response.

Thanks for all them electrical shematics. With all that electrical information in them photos one should be able to figure out any wiring issues. At least in the fuseblocks. That four color camo on that Humvee looks great!

One more thing...for now. They robbed my throttle pedal. Do you have access to to that number?
Have access to everything, dagor and alphas included.

4014042 PEDAL-ELECTRONIC THROTTLE

Pedal is common to other civ platforms and available aftermarket, will likely save you a ton.

Before you go balls out and spend a ton, if they've stripped down this one for parts this much have you verified that the powertrain components are OK? Generally when they start getting scavenged for parts, something big went boom.

Thanks for the throttle pedal number. Just yesterday that same thought entered my mind, of a major issue before stripping. Especially after looking at so many govplanet sold ones photos. There were many stripped of the same parts. I still got this for $5k less than the cheapest running unit so if the tranny is out I may be okay still. Unless its specific to this model. Then its rebuild time

I would definitely get it running as cheaply as possible and re-evaluate. Sometimes parts are stripped because it's sat around too long and people realize it's faster to just grab parts off the unit scheduled for decomission. Other times, it's blown up something and because the yard part donor. Fuse box shenanigans is something I've seen done at auction, to scare other bidders away.

Anyways, if you get to a point where you decide you wanna get rid of it, let me know. I have the only MRZR in Canada, but it's a gas one. Wouldn't mind a diesel but with how strapped we are up here I bet it'll be another half decade before I see any up for auction.

Edited because swearing.

The whole thought of something major made me test the transmission. I may be off on this evaluation but in park and neutral the gearbox shaft spins free. When I put it in reverse it tries to roll backwards with just my hand spinning the shaft. Both low and high try to move the machine forward when I spin the shaft by hand. That makes me think that at least the 2wd part must work? Hoping that with the fuseblocks hacked and start switch was removed (but in the vehicle), the reason to have parked it was electrical. That, to me, seems somewhat easier to repair than the engine or transmission. It looks like in my case, everything except the clutches is not so hard to aquire. Especially with the help here on Steel Soldiers and it's contributors!! When I get these clutches figured out I will share that info on whatever else is compatible. A nearby service guy let me test fit a Ranger xp 1000 primary clutch and it is, at 8.5+-", about an inch to big diameter.

Not sure about your diag on the trans, as I'm having trouble visualizing what you've done. In any case, when I get a new machine unfamiliar to me the order of business is to check all fluids, check all safety related items (brakes, steering components), then run test and drive test). I didn't read the whole thread so I'm not familiar with what's all missing from your machine, I'm just recommending you don't dump too much cash into it without knowing what's actually wrong with the machine.

Regarding parts, if the part was also used in a civilian model I would have told you. All the part numbers I've provided are exclusive to the MRZR diesel platform and are not shared with any commerical counterparts, nor are there aftermarket options available.

edit: I realize you may be attempting to jimmy rig it with commercially available pulleys - if so, I wish you luck and do hope you succeed. Have you gotten the unit running yet?

No, I havnt gotten it running yet. Waiting on the relays before I even try. I contacted duraclutch to see if maybe they make clutches of the same specs. that work for diesel, and hold up to turbo. Waiting on that response. This is an upcoming item to manufacture and sell many of so hopefully someone steps up to the plate.

Sounds good. If you decide to sell it, let me know. I may decide to start selling parts for them in the future.

Looks like duraclutch stepped up to the plate.Screenshot_20240729-134033.png
