1stSarge,
Unless things have changes, Myself and Kipman and his brothers, as well as another friend or two of his are planning on going out Thursday. I'll be pulling out of my place in the morning, I'm gonna try to be in Columbus at noon or around that time. Kip and I still have to get...
It's probably that your batteries are fully charged. If you need to check the charging system, the TM has a really good and easy test procedure to check the system out. It's in TM 5-6115-585-34 page 7-8 and figure 7-8.
Is it cranking only an not firing, or firing and not staying running?
If you're thinking it's an oil pressure switch issue, take the connector off of the oil pressure switch (the switch is located right at the oil filter housing, the connector is a few inches up the wires) and stick a piece of...
sounds pretty good so far. For those of us showing up Thursday sometime, is it still $45? No biggie if it is, I'm just curious. I don't think you can eat 3 meals a day at a restaurant for that kind of money :-D
I'll let you know about the food after I talk to some folks.
You may be experiencing the same problem my buddy Kipman is/was having. He couldn't get himself out of the habit of letting go of the start switch as soon as the engine fires. Even when the set is warmed up, you need to hold that start switch on, for up to 10 seconds, until the oil pressure...
Somebody who has the know-how needs to PM Chris (steelsoldiers) and see about getting with Mike (mangus) and setting this up. Even if it costs money, there have been quite a few of us who have stated that we're willing to help pay for it if it can be done on the site like the old map was. I...
I don't have a 5 ton, but I have tools you are welcome to use, maybe I can provide some support and a place to work on something if needed. Also storage space if needed. I'm right off of I-70 in S.E. Ohio near Cambridge if you go that route. PM me for contact info if you decide to go that route.
Welcome from Cambridge Ohio. I'm not 100% but I think you need to have a post count of at least 5 to post in the classifieds...I could be wrong though, I usually am.
If you're not running more than 75 to 100 feet the 6/4 will be just fine for your application.
I haven't had to adjust the governor before, so I don't know if you need to take the shroud off or not, but remember if you do, to only run if for a few minutes at a time. The reason for this is...
Is there anybody here going to the Haspin 2010 Rally from the Oklahoma area?? I have a pallet of stuff in Oklahoma City from GL, that I'm trying to get picked up and held onto for a little while....see the thread here OKC Pick-up and Shipping assistance PLEASE.
I am in the process of getting...
Excellent work Gary. Good looking installation, and quality workmanship.
I know exactly what you mean about the 4/0 wire being a PITA to work with, but always remember this....4/0 is the small stuff. I have to work with circuits requiring multiple 600 MCM wires per phase!!!!! So it could...
Excellent!!!!!
Another fine example of a "community" pulling together to help out one of it's own. That's something you just don't get in this day and age!
Kip, you do realize you'll have access to the 003a in the trailer that I'm dragging out with me. If you all don't want that much power I'll leave it at home.
Just a bump back up to the top asking for help. I have requested quotes from several of our members who ship things and It would be much easier and cheaper to have the flexability of having someone get it from GL and maybe hold on to it for a short time until I can arrange for a pick-up and/or...
If you have no fuel pressure switch, then yes, you'll need to hook them together because the other side of 74B should be going to your start relay.
Essentially then you'll have 74A coming off of your start button and going straight to 74B (the two you tied together) and 74B to your start relay...
According to the schematic, 74a is for the start button. 74 is the hot side of the start button, comes out of the start button as 74a. 74a goes to the fuel pressure switch and then comes out of the fuel pressure switch as 74B and goes to the start relay.
