While I would not presume to speak for someone else, I'm certain that the members that I personally know in NC, that live in the general Raleigh area near I-95, would not hesitate to help out if/when they heard of the need.
Very good discussion. An automatic locker on a short wheelbase vehicle on the street can cause some unexpected excitement. However, that appears to not be as big an issue on a deuce where it is more of a problem making sharp turns and tire wear. I do know that automatic lockers are.notorious...
I know right where you are. I have a couple of customers over by Indian Town, so I fly into WPB several times a year. Nice location. I'd sure rather be there than where I'm at in upstate NY now.
Welcome to the site, there are some very helpful people.on here. And there are several members...
All things being equal, a generator will put out voltage proportional to the speed at which it is turning. The faster it turns, the higher the voltage. This is where the voltage regulator comes in. It you open the circuit, left to its own, a generator will go to max voltage. However...
One thing to keep in mind if you are towing a deuce is the weight limits many class C driver's licences have. In NC you are not allowed to tow anything greater then 10,000 lbs. Since an A2 is 13K and the A3 is 14K, you could get a ticket. Don't know about a.bobber, must be real close to 10K.
In the power industry, we use cengrifuges a lot to keep lube oil pure. They ALL have a very large heater up stream of the centrifuge for that reason, but also because they are much more efficient with heated oil.
Do it! I'm putting the numbes from the unit a friend served in when in Iraq in honor of his service--even though my A3 served these with the Army National Guard.
What I was trying to get at was that it appeared.to me that there woild be less.shop time to pay for with the ARBs than any of the automatic lockers with less.work on the center carrier (which is entirely replaced with ARB).
It is ok to ground the gen frame with a ground rod. However, it is.not mandatory. Either way, it is good to separate the ground from the neutral at the gen and run 4 wire from.it into the house. That would.be the two phase conductors, the neutral, and the ground. Be resolutely sure that...
Have the Warn 18K electric on my A3, and it.came with the cable tensioner. Sure is nice. Perhaps one of those could.be fitted to the A2 PTO winch? The Warn 18k winds from the bottom.
Are all of the after market lockout hubs really that bad? Even the Oversons? After all, it is not like we are putting very much HP to them with either an A2 or the slightly more powerful A3.
If you are able to do the work your self, cheaper is likely better. However, some of us are no longer able to remove and replace a 2 1/2 ton Rockwell pumpkin by.our selves. So, when you add on the.labor to do it, the.price difference between the ARB and anything else is not that much more and...
I really like the idea of.having lockout hubs in the rear and front. Have been trying to figure out some sort of air operated rear axle disconnect. Think that the ARB locking diffs are for.me as they make it much easier to turn, and not just get pushed straight when trying to turn. My A3 is...
I.hope that you are not.planning on running those modified wheels on the street. They are strictly illegal and are.for.off road use only. If you have a wreck because of.them, and there is.an investigation, you will discover that your insurance will not cover the damages...
