It needs to be "Red" high temp RTV. Not just the blue stuff.

Well it's obviously not an airplane. There are no wings! I was mearly stating that the front control panel is off from a power supply that is used for cold weather suits LIKE the ones used in old airplanes.

Possibly part of a welder. But the machine clearly has a connection port for a cold weather flight suit. Says right on the front.

Yea that's probably what I meant. I am not an aircraft guy. I teach power generation at a vocational school.

It actually is a cobbled together pile of parts. It is in fact a generator. Part of it is the power supply from a 24 VDC suit heater used in the B52 bombers I think, back in the 40's. The gunners and cargo crew in the back of the plane wore them to keep from freezing. The machine looks to...

NO WAY that thing could float! Does it?

Good idea. I will certainly check that first.

Hey guys! I downloaded the manual and will begin troubleshooting this weekend. I wanted to ask first if there may be a common issue here I can check first and maybe save myself some time. The other day I was cranking the engine for a while, (10-15 seconds) trying to start it, but it was...

May I suggest calling the DOL.

I bought my 5 ton for the novelty really. That's why I ever do anything. But I have found many, many uses for it. 1) Taking my little girls to school. 2) Driving to the liquor store. 3) Just making noise. 4) Getting from home to work. 5) Going to Papa Murphy's for a pizza. 6) Laying...
