Just wondering if any Steel Soldiers member has info on where Huey 658 is now? I was one of the volunteers of the crew who worked on the helicopter when it was owned and operated by the Firelands Museum of Military History. The photo by my post was taken at the TICO Airshow in Titusville...

Art! I am still waiting to acquire a rebuild kit for my system - the O-Ring is bad and I need a new one. I also need to know how to get inside of the cylinder to replace the O-Ring. Give me a call or just reply to this post. Al Broadbent 321 427-3070

RE: Capacitors by the windshield wiper motor Okay, but what is the purpose of this particular setup? I was looking for page 116 of 984 in the CUCV Direct Parts Manual but don't know where to find this book. I have a lot of books relating to the CUCV but this particular one I do not have...

Capacitors by the windshield wiper motor I have an M1008A1 CUCV which as, what appears to be a triple capacitor assembly by the wiper motor. I am guessing that these would supress any motor noise that would disrupt radio communications when the windshield wipers were on. I don't think these...

Are you located anywhere near Central Florida? It's always good to buy a deuce close to where you live in case you have mechanical problems on the way home. It is also good to get to know Steel Soldiers members in your local area that will help you out when you need it. I am a member of AAA...

Greetings from an East Coast M35A2C owner. If you ever decide to drive over to the Melbourne area, stop by and see me - I live adjacent to I-95 and State Road 192. A good landmark near where you would turn is a place called the Bare Assets. Just about everybody seems to know where that place...

You are looking at a Lawn Tractor Starter Relay that I use for my manual glow plug system. I have been using it for over a year now and it has proven to be as good as any solenoid you can get for this application. I am very disorganized here at the house - ask Kenny! I found several Ford...

Mike! Just wanted to let you know that I found the problem with the alternator. One of the blue wires that must be a fuseable link was roasted half in two. Until I can purchase another one of these, I installed a 30amp Buss fuse and holder just to see if the system would go back up...it did...

Thanks Mike, now I'l only need one disconnect switch instead of two!

RE: Re: #1 Alternator That's what I thought Mike. I guess the alternator in question tried to overcoe the draw on the batteries to keep the starter turning. It might be interesting to know the proper sequence for emergency battery disconnect so that I can install and use the battery...

#1 Alternator Thanks for the tip mangus580! I have a feeling that I blew a diode or two inside of the alternator because of the way I disconnected the battery posts - I actually wound up cutting the positive wire off of the front battery because I could not get the battery post off.....the...

RE: The way my truck is wired Yea Mike, everything running from the steering column works off of the 12 volt side of the electrical system. Once you get into the starter relay and see how it works it all comes together with common sense. Now I have to figure out what took place with...

The way my truck is wired Good Morning all! I just did a test of all the wires that run to the starter relay in my dashboard and found the following: The purple wire with the white stripe comes from the steering column. When you turn the ignition switch to the start position, it shoots 12...

red wire versus the purple wire I traced the circuit inside of the bad relay and found that the red wire actually provides the power that cranks the starter once the relay trips. I may be wrong but I think the purpose of the additional solenoid was to prevent premature failure of the ignition...

The truck is running again! Thanks for that tip Bjorn and I did make sure each battery was topped off before starting the truck again. Something must have happened to Alternator #1 because the light stays on continuously and this has never happened before. I looked over the fuseable links on...

I found the source of the problem! Turns out the starter solenoid inside the cab was the culprit! It was simple to remove and once I had it out I pried the tabs up that hold the cover onto the solenoid and saw where the points were fused together big time! I plan to by the American made...

Yes Jon I sure will! I remember passing that street once or twice while we were out there last year. I have also been to Dave Walker's place and he's a great guy to deal with! I wouldn't mind living in Hesperia myself by the way - very nice town. The restaurants in the local area are superb...

Jon!!!! Thanks for that thread! I got some very useful information and cut and pasted everything into a message to myself for future reference. I am supposed to be out in Hesperia right now but had to delay my plans because of a house that I am working on over at our local beach - that's...

Thanks Bjorn I thought about that as well. Once I disconnect the solenoid wire from the starter and hool up the batteries once again I will know at that time. I pulled the plug off of the solenoid in the dash that relates to the starter- if I don't see the starter turn, I'll know where the...

Thanks Mike! I just went out to the truck and found the relay but don't know how to remove it. Does it bolt in from underneath or slide out somehow? I hope that's the problem but my other concern is the horn that started sounding towards the end! If the alternators are still okay, I'll be...
