    Craig tulls drawing (003A)

    Hello Scoobyshep, Im trying to eliminate all the garb that goes bad on these machines. I have no use for 3 phase power, and always run my 002a in 240v configuration anyway. I can get an sx460 fairly easy and if it goes bad i can replace it fairly inexpensivly. Im trying to get my 003a repaired...

    003a conversion to sx460 avr

    I was looking at Rustys post on his mod. He states he used an " sw460 " avr. I could not find a sw460 avr for sale but what sx460 would work. I am also guessing that I could use a connection box from an 002 machine as most everything will be removed ? ( planning on installing on an 003a...

    002a/003a flywheel bolt pattern

    Okay, I measured a spare flex disc that had out in the garage. This is a scale measurement, but it looks dead on if you turn the disc so the flat is on a 45° angle

    002a/003a flywheel bolt pattern

    Hello and how are you all doing. Do any of you have the bolt pattern on the flywheel that the 1/4-20 bolts go through for the flexplate ? I can't find any drawing on the web for this flywheel. I looked for Delco patterns but could find nothing. Is there any drawing on this that the military...

    002a/003a bell housing and flywheel dimensions

    Thank you for your response. Bell housing is a #4 and flywheel is a Delco. Can't find a Delco flywheel drawing and that design is obsolete. I can now measure my 002a and work from there on getting the 003a set up. This has been extremely frustrating trying to get this repaired .

    002a/003a bell housing and flywheel dimensions

    Hello and how are you all doing. I was messing around with my 003a again and still can figure out what's wrong with it and why it won't make power. Thinking I might go to plan b. What I would like to know is if the face of the bell housing to the face of the flywheel is the same between a 002...

    Craig tulls drawing (003A)

    Craig's set up , he has the machine running on 240 volt, single phase. He eliminated the selector switch, cvt 1 and 2 , I believe the bridge rectifier , the reactor and I think the main breaker. What do all the symbols on his drawing mean ?

    Hello chainbreaker, thanks for the reply. This is not a new unit to me. I've had this one for some time now . It was producing power , I had it running and getting ready to do a load test to exercise the machine, then it just stopped making power . I hooked a 12 volt battery to TB3-5 & 6 and...
