I am planning to attend. "The BoneShaker" made the trip to the Weare,NH rally and home without issue. Natick wii be a short hop! I will have the convoy lights finished tomorrow, just in time to test them out!! See you guys there! Dennis

pwrwagonfire, thanks for the welcome I'm located in Charlton, right next to Sturbridge. I went through Leominster yesterday, working on a genset in Ayer that had the "Magic Smoke" escape from the main alternator. Generator service (day job) funds my OD addiction! DD

Good Morning Mass Troops ! I live in Ma about 20 min. west of Worcester. I brought home my Deuce a few months ago and got it registered and insured (regular commercial ) the same week. She has been serviced, battery box replaced ( Thanks, Deuceman ), Spin on oil filters installed (Thanks...

Marcus and Clinto, Thanks for the quick replies. I'm going to get the box ASAP as the bottom of mine is about 80% GONE! Don't want to go for a drive and have the batts held in by the cables!! Thanks again, D-Dennis

Good Morning All, One thing I must fix before any roadtrips is the battery box. It is completely rotted out, so badly in fact I haven't moved it(the box) because I know it's going to disintegrate. My question, is the new style plastic box a direct replacement? I could fabicate a new steel...

Yes, my bad. I forgot to note we had 2 loadbanks connected and 165-170 amps per loadbank. Good catch Ike, that will teach me to trust my memory that late at night!! :doh: D-Dennis Edit: loadbanks are caculated at unity power factor(1) not .8 so, 80% of 150kw is 120kw amps x volts x 1.73...

I'm not very careful where I park it. I'm hoping it might lure a 5 Ton into the yard!! D-Dennis

Right TexAndy, always 1800 rpm except a lot of small engined sets run at 3600 rpm and Generac loves to run a gearbox on some of their sets to get the required speed. D-Dennis

Hi Guys, I just loadbank tested a genset at a major hospital in Central MA today with the same engine in the pictures, a White D4800T. This unit is 150kw at 120/208V 3 phase. Only loaded her to 80% or about 165 amps. She puked up a lot of carbon and smoke for the first 20 - 30 minutes and then...

fuzzytoaster, yes, this was a private sale. I watched GL for awhile but decided to try to find something closer to home without quite so many "unknowns". D-Dennis

Well, I think I have a piece of history and an excellent project !! I have done more to this truck in a week than the PO was able to do in 3 years. He sold it because he had "no time for it". I have plenty of time (no kids) and have a good job and don't live beyond my means (mostly,lol) I...

Hello All, I have only been here a short time but my MV attraction has progressed right to addiction!! After months of searching, several failed deals and numerous other setbacks..... I have finally acquired my first MV [thumbzup] She's a '71 Jeep M35A2 wo/w, whistler turbo. Came with new cab...

BTW, thanks for the confirmation Dave[thumbzup]

the second one was the result I was trying to get !!
