    What have you done to your MKT this week???

    Peek window only tells me if the pot is boiling over. I can't even see the aux baking shelf when it's open. When one of my M59's lost the window channel, I just pop riveted a solid sheet over it. No loss of functionality for me.

    DUKW Crash Fatalities

    Steel vs aluminum & glass. Steel 'wins' just about every time.

    Does/has anyone here used STP oil treatment in their generators?

    I've used STP and other oil additives from time to time in my 93 Corolla (but not every time) and it currently has 427K on it. Service advisors trot out a salesman every time it comes in because it's five generations behind the new stuff and OEM parts are getting hard to find.

    What have you done to your MKT this week???

    Page 9 of the document you posted the reference to says they fit in exactly the same space. If the price is right, replace with the newest ones!

    What have you done to your MKT this week???

    For proper running you need at least 25 volts, with the inverter hooked into 110 AC you should get close to 28 volts, even with all six burners going.

    Odyssey 6TL Battery Mounting Question. Anyone tried swapping to 8D AGM batteries?

    Civilian Group 31 batteries usually fit easily where 6TL's went (actually they are not as wide) and most deuce owners use that size when they replace their 6TL's. You can almost get three of them where the two 6TL's fit, prefect for a dual voltage application - 2 in series for 24 volts, and the...

    Finding Belt Size based on Numbers

    Can you find some crossreference numbers that are the same as those two belts? Reason I ask is that some belt makers code the length into the part number. IE an xx945x belt may be 94.5 inches long. So get the Goodyear belt number chart and look at it, they are usually arranged from smallest...

    Time To Add More Load

    I'm running 1 ga to run the 40 feet between my MEP003a and the Manual Transfer Switch. Black, Red, White and Green - all 1 GA wire. Calculator I found on-line said it should be able to handle 119 amps per leg without too much loss (and this is welding cable grade wire, not the stiff stuff).

    Members in Northern Virginia?

    You do not have to have an MV to come play. The fact is that I've not brought one up there yet (in 9 years) because any my MV's would take three days just to get there, and another three to get home once it was over! I do bring radios so we can communicate on the trails (for those without CB...

    Members in Northern Virginia?

    Guys, If you don't come to the VA Rally over the Labor Day weekend, you and your vehicles don't exist! If three MV owners from SC, one from FL and one from west TN can make it there, every year for at least the past three years (and some of us are going on nine years), you locals can join in...

    Lockbourne, OH to Columbia, SC

    Who is picking up at Lockbourne now that Gimpy is gainfully employed? Appears that I won some stuff from there and will need to get it picked up and then arrange for transport southward sometime in the next 10 or so months. I expected to be out-bid, but apparently there were not any richer...

    Oshkosh MK48, any experience/owners?

    Go back through this thread and look. There are two posts which show of give directions to the technical manuals you seek.

    Who has a smart power meter on their home? Are you monitoring the data?

    Way back when I was involved with 'load survey' metering (when Cesar was a buck sergeant) it was all 15 minute readings cumulative KWH, not instant. Some of the early meters could change the time interval they measured, but they had a problem - when they went to record, they would stop...

    Mep701a stopped producing power

    Idling means running at less than the 'regular' 1800 RPM. NEVER do that on a generator. It may be 'loafing' because of no load, but it should still be turning at 'full' speed.

    M109 and M35a2 differences

    Waiting on Ferro to post what Bella can do with the turned up LDS and larger tires. I remember Angie blowing by us one year coming back from the GA Rally - she was at least 10 mph faster than I was going. And I was pedal to the floor!

    Fill spout for threaded fuel cans, repairing rubber seal?

    I have found those tend to have a thinner rubber seal ring, which will not compress as well and will leak/come off easily. Just my experience.

    Is Henry's truck parts still open?

    Jim Henry Surplus was open last time I checked. Doubt he has much of a web site. And don't even think of trying to pay for anything with $50 bills, You will get run off and told to never come back!

    M109A3 cab to van access

    Cab and van body are bolted to the frame at different points, so one can flex independent of the other. Also, the rear cab attachment will rise up into the 'path' of the access 'door' which will not be very high in the first place because the cab is so much lower than the van body. It will be...

    1941 K18-C GMC Recovered today

    The BC-325 weighs almost 900 pounds. It did not get the nickname 'refrigerator' by accident (or maybe it did when someone got crushed). It was rated at 100 watts voice or 400 watts CW (Morse Code). I have a Ten-Tec Omni that can beat those specs which only weighs 30 pounds with power supply...
