Disconnect the lines (vent line on the cap and the brake line in the back), remove the protector plate, unscrew the four bolts holding it on the frame, remove. Reverse to put the new one in. Only trick is the lower bolt on the outside holding it to the frame. For that I used a 9/16 deep well...
Most MEP-002's and 003's do have the adapter. That's why there is a setting for run with aux fuel. Way it works - start with a full primary tank, when it gets down to 1/4 tank, the aux pump is supposed to come on and fill the primary tank back up till it's a bit over 3/4, then shut off. If...
Mark, we've been to KDP at Ft. Jackson, range 4 at Ft. Gordon as well as Camp Perry in the huts. We both know Rick York, J.P. Young, Herb Lanford, Earle Schuler and Dennis Coggins. And I know the story of why you shoot southpaw. Do I need to go on, or are you going to look a little more...
MEP-002's and 003's are designed to be hooked up to an aux fuel supply, run for 100 hours and then shut down for an oil change and other maintenance. Check the TM for your unit to see what options are available.
If you are on Windows, and IE for a browser, open the 'Windows Task Manager' and click on the processes tab. If you find several instances of IE running, click on 'End Process' of the smallest one, it will kill all your IE sessions (when it does take effect), which you can immediately re-start...
I've seen the scrap hull. There's probably enough there to build a static display by welding up the holes and putting some 1/4 inch plate over the openings. May not be enough track, but the rest would look pretty cool! Somebody buy it before it makes the journey to China!
The one thing that I find annoying is being not being able to go back to view older posts than 'one day' or being restricted to 'new posts' when I've been away for a number of days (IE, GA Rally, my St. Stanislas Charity trips which can last two weeks). Selecting the 'new posts' and there are...
I rode with Ferro today on the first leg of a DUKW's southward journey, today going from Jacksonville, NC to Hopkins, SC. Only the cognizetti know it's final destination, but I have been assured it will spend most of the rest of it's life on soft, white sand, and will be driven by a 'squid' in...
Just a heads up for those who have suggestions for meals on the MKT.
What the MKT does is cook a small variety of things in large quantities. I have two ovens that can either be cooking a squarehead pan (like the ChiliMac is cooked in) or a big pot (small one is 10 gallons, large one is 15...
And if you go forward a page or two from the link given, you will see two of the trailers in the picture. One from the front and the other from the passenger side.
According to the PRC site (http://www.prc68.com/I/RC292.shtml) my antenna has a range of 36 miles (in all directions) when erected. That means we could reach Greensboro, Athens, Lexington, Washington, Warrenton, Sparta, and probably Eatonton - Durhamtown ain't that big! Formula Pi x R squared...
Craig,
I'm constrained by space, esp in the S-280. There the bunks can have a max height of 55 inches and a max width of 26 inches, and the front set has to be built in the S-280 because it cannot be 'turned' to go against the front wall once built. In a shop van (M-109, or M185), there is a...
For real CARC, you will need an EPA rated paint booth and a haz-mat suit when doing the painting. And you will pay the Haz-Mat fee on each container it is shipped in (IE, add $28-40 to each container/box) and $90 per gallon, vs $28 per gallon of the Behr house paint, available locally. It's...
Don't know about 60' up, but I do have a military AT-292 that we could rig up (if we can get antenna sections short enough for 2 meters - maybe think full wave). It will go up about 30', and if we remind Bob (tennmogger) of the dates, maybe he'll show up in his radio MOG so we can have a base...
We have used GMRS handhelds at the VA Rally and did not have any problems with communications, but then it was line of sight for the most part (well, except for the trees covering the mountain side) and probably less than three miles. I plan on bringing my set along even if we don't use it (a...
