yea, after looking at this, there is a LOT of improvement needed, standing there in the sun with the phone it looked kinda hopeless but seeing it here on the screen you're right, it would for sure clean up better, as for doing it in photo shop or something though that's mostly beyond me but...

didn't order the TM, I should have though. what i ordered was the voltage regulator, that small box atop the 10K gensets with the cooling fins on it that guyfang sent the diagram of above this. so that voltage regulator new is $38 but cost $48 to ship it here (oregon idaho border)...

I should of gotten the other TM when i ordered a new voltage regulator ($38 but $48 to ship it !!!! ...... anyway, i've a idea that since it was run with no oil filter inside it the pressure switch may of activated so i'm tracing that back to the appropriate relay.......... this would no doubt...

took 5 photos with my cell phone, sent them to my e mail address and only one shows up. i measured 26-36 vac from the pully at the front of the engine and measured it going into the rectifier, nothing is coming out of the rectifier no matter which way i measure it. I'll paste in a...

yes, item 7. There are two under that transparent cover plate (#6) it'll take me a couple days to get photos on here. I'll see what sort of a TM I can find but when I was looking at them a 4A084 wasn't seen, not on a first pass.

I have 2ea. 5k's and one 10K. this 10k i got from my neighbor where it's been sitting outside for a few years. I got it running and it sounds fine, it indicates 240vac available but it is not charging the batteries. I believe it is the rectifier that has a small plastic container on the...

all vehicles I believe had to be able to travel a certain distance in convoy. maybe wreckers were exempt but I doubt it. I also can't see wreckers getting a ''special'' enlarged fuel tank! I'd say 3 gallons for a 10 mint idle .......... something is amiss?

haha, well , one wonders what magic could be invoked during the creation of the TM to 'conform' to specs but honestly, I do not want to believe there is chicanery involved building a TM. but fuel consumption is a consideration, doctrine encourages the US to attack with 5x the enemies...

yea, I did that on a cat dozer, in fact washed all the steering clutches in diesel. the right side came lose with a loud clang after some back and forth. if you're working in -20 F weather it could be dragging. My '44 weapons carrier you DO NOT engage the pto and the main xmission at the...

we know gph is a realistic measurement but ............. with military we're not driving too many hours! but the TM........... 1 mpg less than diesel. I suppose that's conceivable on flat level ground maybe at about 70% output? BUT WHO'S TO ARGUE WITH A TM?

is the army gone to hydrostatic clutches? low on fluid etc?

I think it looks like it was recently parked. I couldn't really use it but someone should want it. I'll be the mileage is atrocious with that gas engine! I hope someone rescues it.

50 miles East of Baker City ............ hells canyon country, I can see idaho from anywhere on the property.

I am so glad to see that working. I'd love to have it in one of my cars but looking at your pics is the closest i'll ever get to seeing one. good work, post photos, pass the word, keep up the endeavor. thx, jim
