Hey Mahdey, I'm glad to you you made it back to C-bus ok!!! I was more tired than I thought, when I got showered up and hit the sack, the wife told me there was a stray dog outside barking at the stray cats at about 5:30 this morning....I didn't hear a thing!!!!!!!!!! Now you just need to get...

Kenny, I didn't bring my glad hand hose and air pig along...so no hooking up to the deuce. Mahdey said he was bringing the compressor, so I didn't need the other stuff. An electric outlet is easy enough to find just about anywhere.

Good morning all, the time is upon us to recount yet another successful deuce recovery! This one took place yesterday at Ft. Indiantown Gap, in Annville, PA. First and foremost, I need to send out a HUGE thank you to Wreckerman, for keeping Murphy tied up down south drinking sweet tea...

It sounds like the voltage regulator to me. If the voltage were floating all over the place, I would suspect a bad voltage rheostat (the adjustment knob on the main panel) or loose/dirty connection, but since it's going high and staying there, that's the classic signs of voltage regulator...

Nice looking set-up. It's always good to have portable power!!!!! :-P:-P

Greg, Thanks for the offer. I still have your number if I need you. I would take a tow bar if I had one, but that is one of those things that will wait for some more disposable income before I get it. Good luck on your 1009 recovery. Westfolk, when are you going to be there, I think Mahdey...

Bump Anybody along this route? Only have a couple of hours left till departure

I know this is late notice, but I'm helping another member (Mahdey) with a deuce recovery in PA tomorrow morning (Friday). He wants to leave my place this afternoon to be in PA later this evening, so we can get to base first thing in the AM and be on the road after a thorough inspection. He's...

Was this mud hole fairly deep? Someone already mentioned the drain plugs in the bottom of the bell housing. That's where I would start. If you were playing in the mud without the plugs in you could have a bell housing full of mud and other nasty things. Pull the rectangular access panel from...

Sweet ride Gimp, Is that close to home?? possibly up for sale???

Lane, you might want to go with at least a 5HP motor. HP is HP, no matter the source, electric or internal combustion. The difference as I stated above is the torque curve of the different sources. If the load requires 6 HP, it's going to need a 6 HP motor. The only reason you need a higher...

Glad to hear you got the lights working again. Circuit breakers are at Saturn Surplus for something like $22

Lane, I have one in the lube trailer, the military rates it at 6HP at 3600 RPM, but I've seen results in a google search of up toward 20 HP before (since the military under rates the HP output of it's engines). Keep in mind though, because of the torque characteristics of an electric motor...

I doubt you'll find a 12K RPM hyd pump. Does the generator head spin at 12K also, or is it geared down some? If it's got some kind of reduction on it, you could just use what's already there.

Greg, I looked this morning at the new ether cylinder and here is the information for you. It's an 18 oz. cylinder, 1"-20 thread, manufacturer is Zerostart, Zerostart part number is 8200327. I would talk to a truck repair shop around you that does a lot of business and see if they can order...

Greg, I had a local truck repair shop order it for me. NAPA can get them, but they are somewhere in the neighborhood of $40. Mine cost me $27. I'll go out tomorrow and look at who made it, I have the part number but I doubt that will do you any good without a manufacturer to go with it.

After a weekend trip out of town, I come home to find a package containing the paint I ordered from Rapco Parts sitting in my garage...:-D:-D:-D So this morning I started out by drilling a board and inserting all of the bolt hardware so I could sandblast the heads to scuff the surfaces for good...

NEC Article 90.2 Scope (from the 2008 McGraw Hill NEC Handbook) “ (A) Simply stated, the code applies to all electrical work-indoors and outdoors-other than that work excluded by the rules of part (B) in this section.” The NEC in Article 100 defines a Separately Derived System as...

Andy, I am not aware of any specific code prohibiting it, but I highly doubt that you would pass any kind of an inspection simply because there would be no way to ensure that you couldn't possibly have the switch in the wrong position at any given time. That's the whole point of having the...

L0 is bonded to the frame where the two groups of wires come out of the generator head itself, they go into the lower control panel on the left, but one of those wires also swings back around and bonds L0 to the frame...that's the one that should be disconnected and isolated. This is a picture...
