I’d trade at least 3 of my deuces for one of them M123/125’s!

Finally got to work on the M52A2. The wiring is a real pain to figure out. Fortunately, I found TM 9-8028, which has a fairly complete set of wiring diagrams. Much easier figuring out which wire goes to what component.

I personally haven’t found a cordless that could touch a deuce lug nut. I have an 18 volt drill but it won’t touch the really grumpy nut torques. I use a one inch arbor pneumatic impact tool. It has broken loose almost everything I’ve put it on. I say almost because one time the metal...

My bad, I should have explained a little better. The pigs we have are Guinea pigs. I reread my post and realized I wasn’t clear on the pigs I was talking about. Two of my wife’s male Guinea pig’s got frisky and were beating the daylights out of each other. I thought they were going to kill each...

You gave it your best shot. Good luck on the next project!

I’m on a temporary hold on all my various projects. Got into an argument with a pair of pigs and lost. I hope to get the stitches out early next week. After that, back to bending, beating, cutting and welding.

Thank you! Once it warms up, I’ll get cracking on that job. I’m pretty sure I’ve got the power cable that would go to the mount. I think I’ve also got some 15 amp circuit breakers (GI type). I’m probably the second worst electrician on this site. Just couldn’t figure out how to hook everything...

So I got this straight, take a wire (cable?) from the battery and plug that into a 15 amp C/B. Then run a wire (cable?) to the radio mount. And finally wire (cable?) to the VIC-1. My question is the wires and/or cables. I can see using the mil-spec cable from the radio mount to the VIC-1...

The complete wiring diagram is in TM 9-8028, figure 188, page 282, in case you might still want one...

Know anyone who has a borescope? Harbor Freight has the least expensive ones. Do a visual on the inside of all accessible ports.

When you do the compression test, is it done on a hot engine? A hot running engine, if suffering from a crack, will most probly start acting up as soon as the engine gets hot.

That thar conundrum is shore nuff a tail twister! I mildly suspected an intermittent ground out, if that’s possible. I ran into some problems with my diesel Farm Pro (aka Jinma) tractor. It was running fine then it started sputtering then it died. It wouldn’t restart fer nuthin’. Took off the...

I was looking for something other than wiring and came across this manual. It’s TM 9-8028 and on pages 171, 271 and 282. Looks like the complete diagram. Other than that, I’m fixing my farm pro tractor (fouled fuel tank, sediment bowl and fuel filter. Cleaned everything up and she started right up.

You reworked the key start? Is the part new, used, NOS or the original part, just rewired?

Good luck!

Not much of an update. Got the pull switch attached to the shut off. Now when I get it running, I’ll be able to stop! Almost got the throttle hooked up but ran out of daylight. It’s waiting patiently for me to finish up. Part of my wiring issues was, in addition to age, some post service mods. I...

Still fixing minor issues. Doggone wiring is tough as nails, however, the plastic wrap is breaking down after 47 years of use and abuse.

Good news! Installed batteries and very carefully touched the cable to the battery. No massive sparks, no smoke, nothing. Almost anticlimactic. Went ahead and fully connected the batteries (after replacing all four terminals). Then went around to the driver side and turned the battery switch. Op...

Never mind, found one :naner:
