    M149A2 uses

    Our club owns one. We used it last year for a water supply for a mister cooling system we had hung for cooling our visitors at an airshow in August. We had a 12 volt pump pushing water through 6 misters which were hung from a line between the water buffalo and a kitchen trailer. The club...

    Glad hand leak....getting worse

    To add a little to G's excellent post on dissassembly and cleaning, use valve lapping compound in place of emery cloth. Then do the turning back and forth to sand and polish affected surfaces. May take a little longer to polish the surfaces but man do the core and body match up better. I...

    My new water buffalo

    Here is a picture of a few people enjoying the mist. You can sort of see how we set up. We strung a small rope between the kitchen trailer we had there and the water buffalo and clipped the misters to the rope. The 12 volt pump had plenty of push to really get flow and mist going. It was...

    My new water buffalo

    At the last Denver airshow, our club used our water buffalo for a water supply for a 12 vot powered mister system the crowd could cool off under. It worked great and it was hot. We camped out for the weekend there and also used it for hand washing and head showers. My guess is we didn't even...

    Brake drum removal, m37

    Once I had mine off after alot of frustation I reinstalled hex (allen) head screws I got at Tu Value. Makes it much easier to remove than the slotted screws. Also applied anti-seize to the threads and the cone shaped contact surface before installing. Didn't note the size, just matched one...

    M37 Voltage Regulator Adjustable??

    I have two older voltage regulators both putting out over 30 volts. Some older manuals show taking out the plug on one lower side of the regulator to adjust voltage. They both have the plug but there is no adjusting screw inside lined up with the hole with the plug out. Do these have to be...
