Hello how is everyone. Been doing a little reading. Here is my question, Now that I have the MRAP wheels and Good year 395 MVT's which is better suited? I get the runflats are oem. But will a beadlock work as per manufacture or should I buy the runflats and install those instead? I didn't want...
Hey fellas, yes I changed all three of the fuel filters, and a new air filter. Also went over the valves and checked the clearance as per the TM's. They were all way out of adjustment. Have the rockers adjusted now, and also new oil & filters were installed when I was ready to register it. Say...
When I installed my 002a in my shed I used 2 layers of 4 x 6 lumber. built a frame the same size as the generator skid, l x w. I lag bolted the lumber together and used the bolt holes in the skid to lag bolt the generator to the 4 x 6's. I then decided to have an oversize tank made. I took the...
How is everybody doing, well I hope. Okay, I have reading through the TM's and searching posts for some guidance. I have gotten my A2C on the road and I am not real happy with its performance. It sat in my backyard for a few years while I had my other deuce on the road. Sold that one last year...
I did what Lt Dan did. plugged the two lines in the nozzle and replaced the return line at the tee. plugged the IP and that was the end of that. On my other deuce I had the nozzle 1, leaked fuel onto the turbo. 2, always leaked fuel into the intake manifold. That truck smoked like a chimney...
Good luck with your new machine, drain all of the fluids and replace the filters. I have not yet but do plan on buying the spin on oil filter kit from speddmon. Makes that job so much easier. As far a the fuel filters, once you clean out the cannisters and put new elements in them ( make sure...
Hello and how is everyone today. I am looking to replace a bearing on my 003a alternator and would like to know what have other members done. I see the milspec bearing calls for a certain type of grease in what they use. Have any of you used something with a diffrent type of grease. I'm not...
helllo and how is everyone. i was reading this post and thought I wouls comment on what I did. I wanted a fuel capacity large enough that i would only have to fill it once a day. Yes there is a float switch on the machine, i understand that. However, Our generator at work, the small daytank...
Chris good luck with your new genny, The 002's are great machines and will serve you well. Start it once a month and run it for a half hour, load test it at least quaterly. One thing i didn't see in any of your posts, do you have a well pump? my cousin has an 002 of mine and whern his well pump...
Yep i was looking to sell them and I was interested in going to the mrap tire/wheel set up. Well, cost of shipping in wheels to nj from halfway across the country plus cost of the tire wheel plus the adapter plate it may be better off for now sticking with the a3 tires. If they dry up...
Intresting post, has anyone ever mounted the M35A3 tires on the stock 9r20 wheel? I have a set of A3 tires i'd like to put on my deuce. i saw Sewerzuks post he put the 395's on stock deuce wheels, as this post is showing.
Have you tried removing the fuel supply hose at the IP? I had a machine that had some nast crud in the tank from sitting. I replaced the filters and still had no flow. I then removed the bottom of the fuel pumps to find the screens were loaded with crud. After cleaning them i decided to work my...
Its good to hear that your Military genset is saving the day, perhaps again. When I got my 002 some people looked at me like I was wasting my time and money. My cousin even commented "what do you think the world is gonna end" Well I was nice and comfy when Irene rolled through and knocked out...
i was looking through the for sale section and have a question for all anyone that might know. I have a set of M35A3 tires but don't have the wheels and beadlocks. Just cant scrape up the cash right now. With all of the MRAP wheels showing up is it possable to use the MRAP wheels with the A3...
Okay, i was just kinda looking to see if anyone had done something similar to an 003 or 002 as harleyd315 did. To be honest this post went far beyond what I was looking for. Anyway, everybody have a nice day and don't forget we have the Daytona 500 today.
Hello and how is everyone today. Harley I'd like to take a look at that setup. It looks like you did a nice job on that. That would be a perfect conversion for a 400 hz unit. Right now I'm pretty buisy at work but in a few weeks i'll give you a shout. Take it easy metalworker393
