The front tires could have also had equal traction at the time.

I took out the screws that hold it together, could not pry it apart. Something is holding it fast from within. Before I broke the case, I set it aside and tried the other contactor and found it to solve the problem. I found a replacement on the auction block for a price within my budget and...

Bypassing, we moved the cables Upon closer inspection, I found that the mechanical portion of this switch is in fact stuck.......stuck so much I couldn't even pry the switchbox apart. I put the contactor in from the 005 and all works as intended. Thanks much for your help.

We checked for power at the Ckt Bkr switch and found voltage, checked for voltage with the switch in "closed" position, then checked for voltage at the connector, between pins, at the contactor block. Found the same voltage at the between pins as we found at the switch. We took an ohms reading...

I am having problems with my MEP004, the main contactor will not pull in to supply power out. The coil tests good, and is receiving power from the switch that energizes it when shifted to the on position. I am finding 35.6 volts present at the energize position at the switch and at the coil. My...

In browsing this thread, even I read the post where Chief offered a full refund if it came to that. I don't think 101 gave the seller a fair shake. Our addiction needs these smaller based sellers, period

Pulled the rr wheels/hub, and fitted new wheel cylinder rubbers.

Air tool oil Posted in this thread 8-30-12 there is a reference to CW11C that was designated as air tool oil. Then further reference to WD-40 as being a direct substitute. I do not know the properties of the CW11C mentioned, but I can suggest that Mystery oil, or automatic transmission...

His & Hers???????.........congratulations, and welcome from the N. east. P.S. If you can't raise the door, you can lower the floor in the garage so the deuce will fit.

Not all my pictures would load, will have to sort that out. Hercules engine, 1,200 rpm, and runs like a Swiss watch. We use this generator at our sugarhouse during the season, roughly 6 weeks per year as the primary source of power. I take power off all 3 legs and keep the load balanced as...

First attempt at posting pics. Any help is appreciated. I know that this is a 3 phase 220-440v , 15 kw, built in 1951 for the Army Corps of Engineers. Most of the nomenclature plates have been removed, don't know why, or their whereabouts. I can take more pics if needed, I would really like...

Is this a Roosa-Master IP? My MEP-004 had the same symptoms and it was a stuck metering ring (internal). I sent it to diesel shop and they in turn sent it for rebuild. The bill was over $900.00 but was indeed the problem, unit started and ran good after.

Thank you PeterD and Sewerzuk, Your response(s) gives me answers and insight. The explanations in text and videos clear up some fuzzy areas. Will post findings as soon as time permits me to do these tests. Sugaring season is approaching fast. I have been working in the woods the last 6 weeks...

I have an MEP004 that I have finally got to run, but have no power output. Where can I access the procedure to flash the field? And while I'm about it, what do I use for search words to find Sewerzuk's video? Thanks, Carroll

Thanks for the warm welcome guys. I'll have to sharpen up my pic posting skills asap, I have pics I'd love to share. Sorry to say, the doodlebug isn't 4wd. About all there is there that's mv is the frame, transfer case and transmission. It did have the original engine in it when I got it...
