    m105 dump bed trailer

    trust me tm america, you are changing the coil configuration even in small single phase motors too. If you feed a 120 volt coil with 240 volts you will burn it up. That's why you are putting the coils in a series connection so they can handle the higher voltage. It's the same reason you use...

    m105 dump bed trailer

    That's not really the case with AC motors. You said it yourself, you must re-wire an AC motor to make it run on the higher voltage, not the case with the smaller DC motors. Smaller DC motors are still using the same windings and internal configuration, so when you feed it with a higher...

    Steel Soliders Wanted for Media Event

    you would probably get a lot more participation if you included a little information about this "Media Event" rather than just a phone number. What kind of signage, what kind of event? Even a little more advance notice would help you out. Just thinking out loud here.

    so, I was working on the deuce today.

    Greg, that's why I put it in the engine compartment, I have to be able to keep the engine warn for those cold winter mornings :razz: runk, I'm thinking it's offset so you can have a small section of duct hose between the two and still be able to let the side panel down for inspection and filter...

    so, I was working on the deuce today.

    Today I decided to get off my lazy butt and start doing a couple of things I want to get done on the deuce before it turns cold out. I started off by putting on the cable operated drain valves I got a while ago. While I can reach the valves without crawling under the truck, it is a PITA having...

    Tach works Hour gauge doesn't

    from looking in the TM it appears that both the tachometer/hourmeter and the speedometer/odometer are fully mechanical. I have the same problem with my speedo. The odometer works fine but the speedometer doesn't move. I'd say replace the tach gauge if you really want it to work.

    Engine Oil Level High - Fuel Dilution ? HELP!

    Are you sure you truck has no FDC? I'm no expert, but I though pretty much all of the multi's had the fuel density compensator. That would be my place to start...take a picture of the area around the injector pump and post it, if it's got the compensator, someone will definitely let you know...

    Recent auction prices on MEP-002, 003, etc.

    I was watching a few 003's in Chambersburg, PA today that went for upwards of $700 to $1000, some with and some without the ASK. I was also watching a few MEP-112a's in NC today as well...I sure hope nobody on here was crazy enough to buy them. They were in decent shape from looking at the...

    MEP-003a Fuel Pump

    Andy, One of my MEP-003a's had the fuel pumps replaced by the military before I bought it, they used Facet pumps. Here is a link to the Facet-Purolator website. On the bottom of the page is all of the 24 volt models. The 24 volt models come with transient voltage protection, so they are pretty...

    Hour meters and MEP-002a service life?

    Isaac, I feel the hours can go a lot higher than anything you are looking at on GL. You have to keep in mind, that even though these are air cooled sets they are still diesel motors, and low RPM motors at that. you're in LA, I don't know if you are out in the country or not, but ask some of...

    Simple Math

    uuuhhhhh yeah, I know that much, I asked why the tailgates were different on the two beds???? Couldn't they use one tailgate for both beds? Was this done for a reason?

    Simple Math

    I don't want to thread jack here, but I gotta ask this and I can't see starting a new thread for this. What's the deal with the deuce tail gates? If you look at the first two pics in this thread, you can see that "DUG's" tailgate is relatively close in height to the side rails of the bed...
