    M1031 tippy when turning to right

    Hello all, I cant seem to find a reason for it but when I make a rolling turn to the right sometimes my stomach tightens because the truck leans over much further than when I turn left. The welder is back there...does the gen/welder winding weigh more than the wiscansin engine? Do springs...

    Dumb newbie starter question

    The borrowed starter is 24v?, yes it grounds through the engine block, the large wire needs to reach the large post on the starter, so it needs to 1. reach the post, and 2. must have a ring terminal end crimped on(dont fudge this as there is alot of amps here, a mistake gets one a nickname like...

    M1031 generator speed control

    i have a m1031 with the wisconsin engine setup. Does the engine get sped up with the fast idle solenoid near the throttle linkage on the injection pump?...If so the manual shows this on the schematic and a switch would be easy to install....the solid state devices in your pictures could be...
