A new little friend for the M447C
I was looking for parts for my M447C, but for the same price I was able to secure an M750 that has all the parts I need.
The EUC cleared today and I will make arrangements to move it tomorrow.
So now my M447C isn't lonely, it has a little friend.
I gotta...
Sensor
Why not just use a temperature controller from a heat tape? They are a little thing that sells for $9 at Home Depot. You plug it into the wall and plug your extension cord into it. It will turn on the block heater when the air gets cold. You could even attach the sensor to your bottom...
Cleared EUC in 3 Days
Usually it's been weeks for the EUC, but I just received one in three business days (sent 12/17 notified 12/23). Way faster than I expected, but should be that fast when you've been cleared in the past. It left me scrambling for transport of the equipment.
I find that...
My regular guy appears to be unavailable, so I 'm looking for a way to get the two trailers (M105 with 2 MEP003A and a M116A with a single MEP003A) out of Ft Drum and stored somewhere safe until I can get them picked up. The ultimate direction is Binghamton, NY.

Methane-powered Deuce?
You mean Methanol. It's an Alcohol in liquid state at room temperature.
Methane is a hydrocarbon that is in gaseous state at room temperature.
Are you hooking a bunch of cows up to the tank? Nothing like pure cow flatulence to power your Deuce. :grin:
Just make sure...
ASKs rarer than hen's teeth
That's why I grabbed them. There were only three units with ASKs. They fact that they are mounted on trailers is a bonus - easier to get home.
I was looking for an M103 to mount 2 on anyway, now I don't have to try to build a mount. The M116 is a bonus. Not a bad deal
Picked up some generators at Ft. Drum
I picked up the AN/JPQ-18
[2 MEP003As (860hr & 1221hr) with ASKs installed on an M105 trailer with bows]
and the PU/753?M
[1 MEP003A (2424hr) with ASK on an M116 trailer with bows]
I am looking for the canvas for both units - anyone have one at a...
RE: new pics
isn't it a 2 ton engine?
My guess is that Chris is going to re-power an M1009 :wink: :wink:
Whatever he actually does with it I think we'd all like to see the pictures.

I have a right rear door from an M774C at Winslow's that need to be brought up as far as PA/MD. So if somebody is heading back could they stuff a smallish door on the return leg. I'll contribute towards fuel.
