The problem sounds like something on the truck draining the batteries between uses, right? The voltage regulators (VR) on these old generators has typically 3 sections or coils with contacts, one for voltage, one for over-current, and a third for field disconnect. The field contact is supposed...

Yes, at least Kirchhoff said so :-) Where you might run into trouble is if the identical devices draw different currents during their startup period, light spotlights, etc. You should be fine with low draw LED's. My 2c.

Thanks Chris, good photos. That is the AS-1729 antenna with MX-6707 base. It is intended for use on 30 to 76 MHz and has the switch to set the internal components for the range needed. That switch can be set manually, as you noted, or electrically by way of the multi-pin connector (only turn...

CkWatson, How about some pictures? Some antennas are tuned and/or shunt fed and transmitting into them on a non-tunable frequency might make your transmitter very unhappy, or the tuner if you use one. The antenna might present as a dead short on CB frequencies, you just don't know. NATO...

Thar's a very versatile setup! Looks comfy too.

Is that a picture of the truck? If buried up to the axles, why are the tires not even dirty?

You really should put a good meter on the batteries and see what actual voltage is. Dash meters are 'estimates' of voltage :-)

Bikers33 brings up an important point. If the bell housing has any fluid in it then the drain plug is in place. The drain plug should not be in place unless fording is expected and would then be there to prevent water entry. If the plug is in, then the bell housing, and thus the clutch, could...

Unimog 404 radio trucks are great trucks. Just remember they are low powered and have manual steering and brakes but once you have the bugs worked out they are remarkably reliable. I really like them. They are extremely capable trucks. The photo in snow is busting trail to the top of Mt...

Unimog model 404. Probably 60s, most are, but could be very early 70s. Looks modified with tank under left side? Do you have more pictures?

I-just-don't-understand. Is that for a different lighting pattern, or what?

I like that! Mounting an HF antenna on a tall LMTV is a challenge. Bob WB4ETT

=== You can't take that number 2 scenario literally. That scenario was not based on seriesed batteries. In your case the problem seems straightforward and post after post has told you so: there is definitely parasitic drain on your 12v battery, the one that reverses, and, probably a...

Its too bad the trend to highly modify these old Steel Soldiers grates on the nerves of the 'restoration' advocates who predominate SS.

That single line, one sentence, is more definitive than many posts of paragraphs of speculation.

Goes to show ya that small things matter, like a missing driveshaft. :-) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7QvhCDsFkk0

This company in Texas will probably be able to assist you. You are headed in that general direction. They have a lot of tires! http://wartimefinds.homestead.com/Tires-Wheels.html Manfred, it is nice to have you on this forum. That is a nice model truck you are driving, the 1017. A good...

A slightly dragging clutch will make shifting the lower gears more difficult. Your low clutch fluid could easily cause that. Try shifting with motor off. If shifting improves then that is confirmation. Bleed the clutch slave cylinder just like bleeding a brake slave. The SEE transmissions...

What is the cost to replace the cartridge on the new model dryer?

Is that a confirmed number? I ask because if that number is brought up on finditparts (see screen capture) the picture is clearly not the correct controller. Of course a picture could be wrong.
