Grove, Welcome to the site. That's a great score on the generator. So you know, they all have a drain valve on them, yours appears to have been replaced with a different style though. If you have any questions about the set feel free to ask, there is a lot of good information here on the...

Lex, That sounds good to me, if they are willing to sell them to us, I'm willing to buy them. As long as I can afford them that is. I like the idea of them shipping the components out, that way we can buy just what we need, since I only need the headboards. Did they mention any possibility of...

aboonski, I just got back from an out of town trip, I will get a video in a day or two for ya'll and post it here on the forum. In my original post I had mentioned I was going to install ball valves like you did, I think that is a way more practical way to do it. Since it isn't going to be...

Lex, Have you heard anything back from your e-mail you sent to inquire about the seats and headboards??

I just had the carb off of my atv earlier this spring and the float is small, but I don't know if it would fit or not. I may have to look into it a little more. If you come up with anything please let me know. Rather than replace the carb, I think I would just look for a plastic float.

Really doesn't need much of a battery, and it's not a huge motor, you can buy batteries pretty much anywhere you want. Take the dimensions of the battery box and get some that will fit in the box. If it's got that four cylinder Wisconsin engine on it, you could get by with a couple of lawn and...

Erik at EriksMilitarysurplus.com is a straight shooter, fair prices and offers a variety of shipping options.

Congratulations on a good recovery, that's a nice looking truck.

do you think you can sneak one of those out in your lunchbox for me....Johnny Cash did it with a Cadillac if I remember correctly.

Thanks for the tip. I had read in one of the posts about floats swelling, but was unaware of what caused it. I need to work on the petcock for my fuel shut-off, then I will definitely empty the bowl. I assume that just letting it run till it shuts itself off would be good enough? Has...

First off, sorry dabtl, this is getting way more technical than the poster probably though it ever would. I'm not advocating removing the starter relay to anybody, that relay may well be what is causing the problem being discussed. Thanks for that info about the starter. I was assuming that...

Nice mod. Mine seemed to pick up the fuel pretty well, although I don't know how it's supposed to run, I don't think it cranked too long considering it probably wasn't started for about 6 or 8 months at least

Sasquatchsanta, Just to ease your mind, I am not in the least bit upset about what you posted. Some people might be, but I understand where you are coming from. I used the analogy about the minivan just for effect. It probably was a little over the top, but I wanted to make sure the original...

cranetruck, as usual you are correct about the current draw of the solenoid. However, Once the solenoid pulls the pinion gear into the ring gear of the flywheel and closes the main contacts of the switch built into the solenoid, that current draw is greatly reduced. It's very similar the to...

Here are the pics of the beastie. You can see in the last picture, the air pressure gauge and the governor. There is an air leak out of the top of the governor, and like I said, the settings are no where near correct. I assure I could probably take it apart and rebuild it. I don't know for...

Well, like the title says, I pulled the trailer up out of the yard today and started going over it to start it up. I had to remove the broken tank drain valve, just plugged it lightly for now so I can still drain it when the air pressure bleeds off some. Put a few gallons of gas in the tank...

Gimpy, Just the current to pull in the starter solenoid. The relay would actually be redundant in this situation. The solenoids don't pull much current, that's why they are there. The stitch to handle full starting current would be huge. Edit, button sends current to the relay, relay sends...

Any update on this? I'm curious as to what you found if anything. I hate open ended threads....lol:-D

Bob, That's kinda cool, now you have to keep that cover just for the history of it. I wish I knew where my truck has been.
