Yup, talked to a A&P friend of mine, he said the same thing.

After firing one unit up, there's zero chance a battery pack from a power tool would start one. I'm guessing it's a 100+ amp draw for several seconds to spin up and get started. I'm just going to toss some lawn and garden tractor batteries in it since it looks like they'd fit well in place of...

After getting the unit, I see that shunt is actually just for the control/ignition side of things. The starter runs directly off the battery leads from a terminal block that branches off to that shunt. So I'm guessing my idea isn't going to work. It probably would start fine with a pair of...

Well, instead of doing a voltage converter. It looks like Milwaukee also sells a 28v series of batteries/tools. I noticed in the TMs there's a 20 amp current shunt, so I'm guessing that's the input current for startup? If that's the case, adapting to a rechargeable battery pack seems pretty...

Wanted to bump this thread back up and turn it into a modification/conversation about the 362a. From what I see in the TMs, the 24v side of things onboard is more for the startup, control system, and supplying a field voltage to the generator. What I'd like to know is how much current these...

Congrats @Soupermike

I think it's off one of the older non ECV chassis. I didn't even look at the data plate to be honest. I didn't take too much notice of the packard plugs, I know I saw two of them, could very well have been three. (It was unplugged when I removed it anyhow) I don't know how useful the HMMWV...

I picked up a HMMWV Mile Marker hydraulic winch off a HMMWV carcass today. I don't see where anyone has done this before, but I plan to try to graft it onto the front of my M1008. I'd like to tuck it away behind the bumper and slot the bumper for the rope and fairlead. I did get the hydraulic...

No worries!
