    MEP803A Total Output Amps

    I'm going the hard wire route also. But I got a deal on some 1 ga wire to go the 40 feet between the generator and the new (manual transfer switch) main panel, the breaker is still only 60 amps per leg to protect the generator input to the house. The wire was about $150 cheaper than using new...

    Did I throw a belt?

    You don't. That is how it gets adjusted. Tighten a little, bump the engine, tighten some more, repeat.

    How do I get my generators to put out three phase?

    First, Exactly what model of generator are they (each one). Second, you may have to lubricate (with something like tunerlube) the switch with it turned off and not running, then try to operate the switch a few times, then crank up the machine in the position you desire. Third, make sure the...

    Start with a 10 ton bottle jack, add a good set of 1/2 drive SAE sockets with the appropriate handles, and you will be off to a good start.

    Biting off more than you can chew

    Only downhill, with a tailwind pushing those 'sails'. Which westbound on I-10 just ain't happening!

    Unit number

    Because he's been getting too many PM's asking for the research instead of a public post, which could benefit others in the future.

    Official 2018 Ga. Military Vehicle Rally info thread. Oct. 17-21, 2018

    No need to bring it already waterlogged, we have hoses to affix to the faucets. Waterlogging is easy, drying out takes time and effort.

    Remote fuel tank for mep802a

    And if you do as Light-in-the-Dark says, there will be no problems with "Was wondering about if line was to fail is there a check valve or some safety device to prevent tank from siphoning out." That is what "Prime and Run Aux Fuel" is for. No need to re-invent the wheel.

    NSN Numbers?

    The WWII supply and technical manuals had a different numbering system. The parts manuals were known as ORD 7-8-9 for a particular SNL (Standard Nomenclature List) which was the official name of the vehicle (item, IE the Grarand Rifle had it's own SNL). The TM's started as two or three digits...

    Saving a couple OH-58's

    Mother Rucker is not that far, if you need to look at some of the ones they have in the museum. I can send you a CD of the pics I've taken there on my two trips (a buddy got a Warrant Commission and is now a Black Hawk pilot).

    Denton 2018 Buy-Sell

    I have four in the trunk right now, so all three of you will be able to get one. BTW, since these came off my MKT's, they have the four bolts to attach them to whatever you want. Early poster said $20 each, and that sounds fair since you guys jumped on them at that price.

    M998 half door from PA/VA to SC

    1. he just missed out getting Lance Robinson bringing it back from NJ and taken to the Denton, NC rally, where it could have been moved at least as far as Columbia, SC, and possibly to the Greenville area by someone there, or direct from Denton to Simpsonville. 2. How fast does he need it...

    Denton NC Spring Rally 25-29 April 2018

    Sounds about right. I got pictures of Tigger talking to Cabell a couple of months before he died. I might have been once since but if so, it was just on a Saturday for a few hours. I need to get out in the garden this morning and finish planting the beans.

    In that case, I'll go in the Corolla, leaving the trucks at home, probably on Friday or Saturday.

    Denton NC Spring Rally 25-29 April 2018

    I'm planning on coming at least one day if Wes (Simp) will be there, as he picked up some stuff for me that hopefully he will bring along. If so I'll need to bring the truck to haul it all back home.

    Bought an M1081

    Starts easily! Cranked it up to let the batteries charge a little last week. R-r-varoom and it's idling. I've only got one deuce that starts that quickly!
