When you do the job, be sure to inspect your steering boots. If they are zippered boots, go ahead and replace them with one piece boots, and change out the inner axle seals while your at it. Not much more expense, and you'll be glad you did, when your done.

So are those boxes, manufactured by somebody. They reall look good - especially on gravel roads, its important to have the rear of the light protected, as the gravel will sand blast them to death.

Interesting question! I have thought around the edges of it, but really never got down to the explanation of it. Since you mention the Deuce, lets keep it simple (at least to start with), and use the M105, as the trailer, notibly the early 105, that doesn't have the "break-away" feature. I...

Your notion of the 002A fuel systems operation, is somewhat mixed. Facts: The MEP runs from fuel in its day tank. When the Aux fuel circuit is in operation, a float switch in the day tank, controls the Aux fuel pump, which simply keeps the day tank full. The MEP's fuel system is not broke...

That might provide a cool picture!

Anealing the washer is commonly done, when you have to re-use them. Heat them to red temperature. You can do it on a gas cook stove, or use a propane torch.

The 003's are impressive. Isn't that 60 amps, on each hot leg. That is a lot of power. That is why I question the the use of the 004. Also, shouldn't there be a ground wire in there from your machine, back to your houshold ground. Either use 6/4, or carry a seperate ground , on a seperate...

The bolster is pretty versital. Quick attach a flat bed on there, and you have an instant flatbed trailer

Round tubes It uses the typical "air over hydralic". Yes, on the tandem axle. Infact on the bolster, they used 105 axles, but each axle need its own master cylinder, as they did on the bolster. They kept the same 6 bolt Budd pattern, but used the smaller smaller tubless tires. They won't...

A few of my thoughts: Although you have a all electric house, with a 200 amp panel, everything does not run at once, & seldom, if ever, you pull that much. I doubt that you would often, if ever, pull the 60 amp load. During a power outage, one can be a little more "economy minded". How much...

I'll bet you 10 donuts to a Quater, those are just regular nuts, commonly used on "split ear connectors", electricians use. Take the dimensions you get with a tape, and go to the commercial electric supply house in your area and buy the same size connector, and use the nut you get there. You...

What I would do (your starting to get pressed), so Shut it down, disconnect the load. Run/snap main breaker, back and forth a dozen times. Same with the circuit switch. Check for loose fittings. Check the split ear bolts, make sure everything is good and tight. Maybe look behind the split...

I'm glad those Guys were on our side!

Good idea about drilling the shaft. I was going to ask, which part was stripped? The little splines or the threads, that the jam nut screws onto. I bet that would work, and it wouldn't take long to try it.

If they talk to you, buy them both!

Not covered so far is the fact that those horns can get dirt and crud in them (not to mention a heavy coat of paint, even inside), and or, when they don't work, somebody could have taken them apart, get them out of adjustment, and then they might sound puky, like a blat, not sound at all/or all...

I do have tarps, both on the 116 & 101's. I took a 2x6 and cut small notches in it @ the bows, a small 45* angle on the top outside corners, and turn that on edge, between the tarp and bows. I just leave it there. It keeps the puddles out and is roadworthy.

"ROSCO- I really like your setup!!! Nice exhaust also. Im planning on setting up my 002 like that. " I recently bought and 002. Because of its single exhaust port that is exposed, its easier to deal with. On my 003, I made up bolt on flanges, so that you can take the exhaust pipe off. On the...

Here is how I mounted a 100 gallon aluminum truck tank for my 003. All you need is a single hose hooked to the auxilliary fitting. I just doesn't get any easier! No close-ups, but I think in the 2nd picture, you can see the brass fitting, plumbed in by the fill cap, awaitting the hose. The...

Loosen/disconnect the fuel line, at the injector 1st, before you go to the injector, and see if your getting fuel there. But 1st, is the timing good? Did you adjust the valves ? Sometimes, that will tell you something!
