I'm sure you have your reasons, but I gotta ask anyway...Why? I think the air shift is one of the nicest things about the transfer case. Just reach up and flip a switch...instant 6x6. I don't want any more levers to have to fool with, but that's just me

Come on guys, let's get this back on topic. I appreciate the side discussions, and that is why I'm not using this thread for the sticky. I also appreciate the tips we got from Ike, Jonathan, Bob and Coyote, but I thought more people would have chimed in by now (Kip, your suggestions was a good...

It won't necessarily burn out the field, but it will eventually damage the voltage regulator and or the bridge rectifier board. Because as you said, it's trying to pump too much current into the field to make the voltage TM 5-6115-585-34, Page 1-9, figure 1-1 is the generator schematic. And...

Look in the -24P TM for the generator...every part, nut, bolt and screw is listed. Here is a link for it TM 5-6115-585-24P. Page 74 and 75, Figure 23 Item #5 is the air cleaner sub-assembly As far as buying one, unless you can find them used from a surplus dealer somewhere or maybe in the...

You're right, I stand corrected. I didn't see that last sentence.

And NOTHING else :shock:

Not really, it's a standard Amphenol plug. Just need the part number and look in the catalog to find it's better half

Good idea Kip, but I think I'll choose to leave that out of the sticky :doghead:

He never said he joined the military at 16. But do you honestly think that since the deuce was designed and put into service all those years ago that nobody underage lied their way into the armed forces and drove one?

El-cheapo voltage regulators are usually capacitor regulators, not the field modulation ones like the military uses, so on that one you are probably not doing any damage. Frankly, I am surprised it has a throttle on it at all, most civi generators start and are governed right up to operating...

Eric, That plug you need....inside the connector you have, there is a series of numbers (I can see only part of it in pic 2) that ends with -024F. Give me that complete string of numbers and I can tell you exactly what you need to get for a mate, and where to get it. Or a better photo of the...

I'm not 100% positive on the length, I can measure it to be sure. Buck a foot sound fair? That stuff sells in the neighborhood of 5 to 7/foot

some of them are permabanned, yes.

First and Foremost After you purchase and get your generator running...NEVER, NEVER Idle the engine!!!

Attention all generator owners who frequently help out on the site...and others who want to chime in. It's been brought up before that we need to have a central informative thread about what to look for when purchasing a generator and the initial steps that really should get done after you...

I have a used, but looks to be pretty complete M1941 Tent heater and 6 flu sections laying around in my garage if anybody wants it, PM me for a price and I can get it to the show. I didn't take pics of the flu sections cause they are kinda rusty. Also, I have about 40 feet of 8 awg 3...

are you looking to just get it running and producing power, or do you want it fully restored? I'm not really close to you, but I love a challenge

You'll need a cheap 1 gallon garden sprayer from your local hardware store. I used about 3 feet of 1/4" nylon hose rather than the hose that came with the sprayer. Some small spring clamps for the hose. 1/4" barb to 1/4" NPT fitting Fittings to go from 1/8" NPT to 1/4" NPT An air line...

When you say you are putting your thumb over the port, are you putting it on the compressor side? If that is the case, only 3 things I can think of would cause an issue like you are having. 1, the governor is not working and or set properly 2, the unloader on the compressor is sticking 3...

only when you hold the start switch over in the "preheat" position and while the engine is cranking.
