Did go to the show, and there were a number of MVs there. A deuce (local), restored jeeps and great looking fully restored WWII Dodge command car, 5 ton dump w/ super singles, restored 6 wheel WWII scout car (not sure on #) and our truck. I guessed about 400+ trucks of all ages, shapes and...

Got the new regulator from Saturn (normal great service) and installed. Unit now runs great and makes correct voltage (22-36 vdc on gage). Also installed new air hose between filter and carb, new spark arrester (a little less noise) and new air filter element. Where would I get the...

Not all of them have the LED. The 2nd setup I got was LEDless.

Checked the ohm readings on the fields per the TM. Both came up as within tolerance, so I guess that the regulator is the problem. There are no brushes on this type of gen set, so that can't be the problem. Next call is to Saturn. Also won it's brother (120/230 volt) on Ebay last night so...

We installed a solargizer on the water truck because it does set around between jobs and the first thing to always go are the batteries. Ours has a little LED on the top of the pulse box that blinks when the unit is working. I have noticed that even under a very cloudy sky, that the little...

Just had the same thing happen to ours, the drivers side is the metal "good" one and the right hand unit is the cheap plastic type that Winer sells for $23. Exploded one with 100psi air (end blew off and piston shattered). Install 2nd new unit which worked when installed, but failed in 2 days...

Ask John Tennis what happens when the old style switch develops a leak!! Brake fluid on hot exhaust parts is not good. Needless to say, he changes all of his to the newer air style.

There will be a truck show in Barrington, NH on 8/19/07. Not an MV only show, but a number of MVs do show up. Last year, a local building mover brought his restored and painted M911 into the show. Sounded great both entering and leaving. Had about 200 trucks last year due to the weather, but...

When we run the H2O Truck down the road at a higher rate of speed, there seems to be a large amount of gear noise, more than I would expect from either the transmission or the transfer case (I think it is the TC). At 40 mph indicated, the noise is not bad, but get it up to 50-55 mph and you...

Do you use this truck in your business? If so, is it to haul this big crane mats? How do you handle the over width problem for the road? Great to see a bridge truck get used as built and not parted out or cut up.

Was the coolant 50/50 antifreeze? If not, and only mostly water just drain the oil, fix the head gaskets and try it again. Water in the oil is not as bad as 50/50 antifreeze on the bearings. If the coolant was a mixture & you didn't run the engine very long (hours), it would still be a good...

My son has used an professional aluminum wheel cleaner acid with great success for a number of older ROKON 2x2 steel tanks. Cleans the tanks to bare steel overnight. He then used a sealer (not sure which one) that completely sealed the entire inside of the tank right out to the neck. One tank...

Thanks all for the input. The little 24 volt unit's regulator is a round can like thing (looks like a little oil filter) mounted on top of a squarish base (maybe 2"x3") with terminals on one side. Haven't taken apart yet, but it looks sealed. Good question, if idling is NG why the lever on...

Thanks for the links. Any idea on the type and kind of transistor needed, and how hard is it to change? Radio Shack as a supplier? No mention that I can find in the manual about the idling problem. Want to rig this up so we can start 24 volt construction equipment in the winter if the...

Also, need manual for the 3 hp 2 cylinder engine on this gen set. It does not have the newer style electronic ignition like the newer units. Don't see this manual in the manul listing below.

Yes, we picked it up from Adirondack, $200 for 6 gallons of paint and the gen set, not too bad a deal. Son is the wheeler/dealer!! I guess the problem is the voltage regulator, from what I can find out in the manual. Need to check the field and stator resistance next before I try to find the...

At the Weare show, we picked up a 28 volt MEP-025A gen set for cheap money. Needs a new air cleaner element, a hose between the air box and the carb and the plastic tank has a pin hole in the side (fixed with screw and rubber washer) but other than these small items it is almost new. Runs real...

If we go on Sat 7-28, what time should we plan on being there? Have to pickup the truck at the jobsite in Merrimack (maybe late Friday), wash and cleanup and drive up Rt. 114 to Weare. Thanks

Good looking job on the 10 ton. Only problem is road speed (slow) and width (oversize).

Another thing to remember, if you swap out for any other engine but a multi, the trans will also have to be updated to either an OD unit from an 800 series or some other sort of unit due to the rpm range of most diesels. A 5.9 Cummins mught work, but you would have to get a 215-225 HP unit to...
