    Commercial use of FMTV M1088 Tractor?

    The M1078 would make a neat mini tractor. You don't really need the 1088 if you are pulling a small trailer. The bed weights like 3000lbs and you would be taking that off. Just have to upgrade the rear springs and mount a 5th wheel.

    need help locating alternator pulley for fmtv m1088

    Most of the other military alternators are a bit longer than the Lmtv ones since they fit in front of the turbo. Other military trucks with the cat engines have the alternator up a bit higher but the cab comes down so there's no room to move it up on the Lmtv.

    M1088 project, no start. Not even trying!

    You can charge the air system from the front emergency gladhand but you will release the spring brakes at the same time. Best to get it started and build air.

    need help locating alternator pulley for fmtv m1088

    You may need a different mount bracket if its not the original style alternator.

    M1088 project, no start. Not even trying!

    I wouldn't worry about that for now. Get it running and there are things to check for the no start at pushbutton. It's not a big deal.

    The diaphragm in the separator hand pumps go bad. Once you swap that out you can crack the 2 lines at the front of the fuel pump and prime away. Once you see fuel dripping close them and prime more then crank. Repeat till it starts.

    I can't plan that far out. I think there is one sooner at Rausch Creek.

    new guy 1078 3116 CAT Red dot A/C, compressor mount. I don't know where to post

    There are heads that replace the existing heater box with an AC evaporator in it. I have the main comp mount brackets. There is a sub bracket that braces the main bracket. What did the sell you for the pulley and drive? Can you post a pic.

    Wiring my MEP-804a to run single phase

    I am not an expert on this but here goes. 120/208 3 phase has 2 120v legs and one 208 (the bastard) leg. The 2 120 volt legs can be used for single phase power. When 3 phase gens have convenience outlets they are usually powered via those legs. Only drawing off 2 of the 3 legs, you would only...

    Wiring my MEP-804a to run single phase

    Its not good to have an unbalanced load like that. If you were using 3 phase power and tapped off for some single phase use thats fine. Just using the 2 legs only is not advisable. TQ gens have 10 wire head you cant convert them to single phase. MEP-803a 10kw gen is a great unit and will provide...

    Calling all wheel/tire gods!

    The van trucks are so much more stable with the duals. I would stick with what you have.

    ECU generator/HVAC

    Behind the panel. That's the control box. Face folds down there are breakers in the engine compartment back of the box housing though. The digital display has connectors in the back that can slip out. There is a voltage adjust knob also on the control panel but it shouldn't allow for voltage...

    ECU generator/HVAC

    Applied didn't have the gen manual. If your rpms are low then you can get low voltage. Could be a regulation issue also. I have found multiple poor crimp connections in the control box of these gens.

    Geared hub in progress.

    I am thinking you can put a small resistor inline with the pressure transducer connection and trick the system into higher pressures.

    MEP-803A hookup question

    That distribution box is for 3 phase and you will probably be using single phase. Make a simple break out box on a 4 wire cable so you can have 120/240 single phase with a ground.

    Commercial use of FMTV M1088 Tractor?

    Great for low speed hauling heavy trailers around a farm or on dry dirt roads. On road hauling heavy loads you will go thru tires fast. M1088A1 you could probably take the wheels off your loaded trailer and still pull it.
