got this TM in a pile of junk today: TM 5-4120-386-14 TECHNICAL MANUAL OPERATOR'S, ORGANIZATIONAL, DIRECT SUPPORT, AND GENERAL SUPPORT MAINTENANCE MANUAL AIR CONDITIONER HORIZONTAL, COMPACT, 9000 BTU/HR, THREE PHASE 50/60 HERTZ (approved for public release). Looks like it has everything one...

I am confused.. I previewed, to make sure the pics were in order, and then submitted. Then, the images were in the reverse order from what the preview showed. What is the deal, do i have to post them so they appear in preview to be in the reverse order? Thanks, PJ

well maybe not oil, but a thin black liquid, mostly water, was discharged from my inboard air tank this morning at pre-drive PMCS time. The outboard didn't do this, just some water and vapor. This was after disturbing the air tanks during part of another project and moving them around, tapping...

Well after much work, i still can't get the flame heater to operate. 0. I bought Bjorn's flame heater detection kit. It works fine, even the smallest light shining on it triggers the lamp. (unfortunately the lampholder I used has an internal 37K resistor because it was used with a 120V neon...

There have been posts from users of the the AS-3900/VRC Antenna - Similar to the AS-1729/VRC and others that go with the VRC-12 radio sets: The top section of the base (from what the spring sits on down to the mounting flange) is made of a plastic material such as acrylic. It is important to...

We really need a topic to discuss regular battery chargers. Since you can't just to to the wal-mart and buy a 24V unit, we can use industrial kinds (or modify one like I did before, but that one is not in any way regulated, and I want to address professional types separately than modifications)_...

Found a cheap-o way to do a full load-bank test on a large generator. This should be done anyway a couple times a year especially if the set runs at low loads and is subject to wet-stacking. The solution is stove-top elements and oven broiler elements! these things are rated in the...

Ok, here's one out of far left field.. Does anyone know how to, or has done, a mod that lets you push a button and shoot flames out of the deuce's stack? Something for show.. a bit of monster-truck fun. I was sorta thinking of starting fluid and a spark plug? Never seen this done, but have...

Please help me out here from your vast knowledge of heavy duty trucks and equipment! :D Well Santa bit the bullet and bought me a diesel genset. This is the smallest one of apparently good quality that he could find. Unfortunately, his note said that even though I had been very good, I'd have...

yep.. was bound to happen. For some drama and amusement, check out QRZ.com and look at the forum: QRZ Forum » QRZ News » Ham Radio News » Morse Code Eliminated by FCC and you can see a whole bunch of pompous poobahs and drama llamas moaning and whining about how this will destroy the hobby...

I did this over the weekend. For the 12/24V switch, I used a big knife switch, since I did not have a more 'normal' 25 amp switch laying around. It cost me about $3 for the rectifier and I suppose a SPDT switch for 25A would run about $5. I try to explain how the charger's component parts work...

Thinking about singling out and putting 14.00x20's on the deuce, but will they fit the rims and not rub each other in the tandems? Has anyone done this successfully and reliably before? I have this crude chart, probably full of mistakes, no laughing.. / just want to let the engine run a...

I got mine with 17,000 on it, just clicked 30K this afternoon.. It doesn't seem like anything is really wearing out. How long do they last? How many miles does your deuce have on it? If you have changed engines or other major components, please say..

inert training aid, but impressive. Not sure what model it is, should I repaint it with markings? and how to hide the thick hanging wires -this thing weighs about 25-30 lbs? any model airpland buffs out there? ..

Is it possible to change one's username? If not, then disjoin and rejoin? and do the old posts remain? Thanks,

Found a stack of these at Shirley's. The MEP 952 diesel generator sets providing 28VDC at 180A. So, here we have a nice 5KW set, but it is DC. I can invert this. My question, are these designed for continuous duty? The application would be overnight power for high-powered camping (3KW loads)...

Does anyone recall the conversion "Tom"? did on his deuce to install a CAT V8, etc.. made it run 70, etc? Ok, he added some special headlights to the fenders. The fixtures if i recall had the headlight and a turn signal in them, the headlamps were in addition to the originals. Does anyone know...

Here is something I did that might be of interest. This gives transmit and receive function of a CB radio over to the VIC-1 intercom system, just as if the CB were an RT524. To operate the CB normally, just unplug the adapter from the CB's mike jack and plug in the CB's mike. As with anything as...

I've got 2 weeks off from OCT 22 through NOV 05, and have been working on the Deuce nights and weekends. Begin and end in Dallas TX. The route is not strictly defined yet but I'm looking for 2-lane blacktop, small towns, and interestingly boring places. So far, the central and southeast seem...
