You may have a white elephant. Most aircraft use 400 cycles, three phase in their electrical systems, because the wires can be smaller (think lighter, reducing weight). It probably has a civilian counterpoint, so someone who works or has worked as a 'ramprat' might be a good source of...
Moisture is in the air, and the metal cools faster than the air does, leading to water settling on the metal parts (hence your shorting problem). You need to store it either inside or in it's own air conditioned space if you cannot seal up all the places as kloppk suggested.
Because I have trucks sitting out where the sun shines on the tires every day, I decided to look into covering the ones on the south side to help extend their life a bit. Attached photo is what it looks like. etrailer.com has them in both white and black. I have 9.00 x 20's sporting the...
Have you tried contacting Karcher? They had a sales office in the US, or you could contact the German office. Don't know anything about German surplus sales, but you could do some Google searches.
Since I'm not currently looking, I have no idea who has what. You should try to contact some of our European members, or the European members of the MVPA for leads.
Probably not directly from Russia, however there are probably thousands of them in former eastern block countries or 'client' states on other continents that could be imported. For the definitive answer you will have to ask the US State Department because they are the ones that control the...
If you look at the picture in the post directly above yours, you will see "fss 33446 - THD21-273296". The first part of that is Federal Supply Service, and the second part id 33446, with the first digit meaning the finish (1-gloss, 2-semi-gloss, 3-flat), the next digit being the primary color...
Short answer = yes. Long answer = it depends. How demilitarized is is, will it pass all 'agricultural' and other safety inspections, do the buyer , the seller, and the shipper all have the correct (and complete) ITAR paperwork? BATFE will have to inspect any weapons related parts to insure...
1 ga copper! And at current scrap prices for copper I'll probably recoup what I paid by selling the excess 20 feet of black, red, blue and white (80 feet total). Overkill, yes, but not over budget!
Manuals MUST be marked as Distribution "A" for them to be available to the public (and "A" does stand for "ALL" meaning not just the American Taxpayers, but all our foreign enemies too.) The higher classifications become more restrictive with each letter. I've only seen one TM classified as...
That is a long run, go to the next larger gauge wire to cut line loss. I got a great deal on some 1 ga. for the 35 foot run betweeen the MEP-003A and the main panel - cheaper than buying the correct size (4 ga.) and I have almost 20 feet of 'scrap'.
Bubbles are generally a sign of air getting into the fuel system. Sounds like something is just a smidgen loose and opens up as it gets warm, allowing air into the system. Check all the fuel lines and connectors when it is warmed up.
One trick for 'air conditioning' in a deuce is to block the front window open about 3 inches and roll up the door windows. Air will be pulled in over the hood and pushed out down around the floor and the back of the cab, keeping the engine heat out of the cab. Wear goggles over your eyes or...
