Only issues I've had with the control box was the relay on top was bad when I first got it. Other than figuring out how the box worked and controlled the ignition system, haven't had any issues so far.
Parts do seem difficult to source, most generator side stuff seems to have to come out of...
I have an email into them, with some general question's about there kits and setup.
Was hoping somebody had traveled this path already, or had a used setup they were looking to sell so I could pick there brain
Has anybody converted the Hobart G-204 welder that comes in the M-887 service body from gas to propane? I have a low hour unit I use mainly for backup 120v power, and mild welding I'd like to convert, and having a hard time finding a kit.
The welder itself is powered by a Wisconsin VG-4D 4cyl...
I will have to check and see if they are dot 5 compatible. As for new vs reman, you guys are correct, new is better, and that's what I usually use when available. Have to see if they can get one, otherwise ill have to find one elsewhere
Those that have had to replace your master cylinder in the last couple years, have you had issues with them leaking, and not lasting very long? Running a CUCV master/hydro booster on my M37, and have replaced the master twice now due to a leak, usually out the back side between the master and...
Contact Hobart directly. Even though its military, and they no longer support the unit, they will have a pdf file of the original owners manual.
Went threw the same thing with the Hobart welder/genny out of my Dodge M887, sent them an email, couple days later had a pdf file, which included...
This is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you so much for this info. Won't be hard to change out the fuse holder, I had bought one that uses a small bar style fuse, and they start at 100amp and go up from there
Again, thank you
What I ended up doing is running a short wire from the battery to a 80amp Maxi Fuse holder under the seat with the batteries. Then run my wire from there threw rubber heater hose threw the cab to the solenoid.
No idea if this works yet. Like the rest of this project, everything takes forever and...
Working on finishing the wiring on my 6.2l swapped M37.
Having trouble finding the specs on the stock 24v HMMWV glow plugs, to properly size a fuse for the main hot wire to the solenoid.
Here's my layout
2- group 31 batteries under the pass seat, 4 ga wire ran from the batteries to the glow...
Ive looked into burning centers for HMMWV rims for myself and a few others local who have M37's. even with working for a fab shop with a large size Trump laser table, the cost to produce the same center as say the one Trail Worthy carries exceeds just buying them. last time I priced steel, it...
Had a chance to check mine over today while in the garage. My insulators are cracked and falling apart as well. So its safe to say the issue goes back a few years. I'll call Monday and see what I can find out
Any idea how far back the issue goes? I have a VWM harness, and will definitely be looking it over tonight when I get home.
Any idea what the new owners name is, incase there's an issue we've got a name to ask for?
Thanks
Edit, just checked my records, looks like I bought mine around...
