    starting 802 with no electronics

    Got it fired up today...after installing the third starter. Turns out 2 of my spares have bad solenoids on them. Starters would start to spin and then kick out of engagement with the flywheel. Anyone know of replacements for these? Hate to buy a whole new starter to have as a spare when the...

    Ever since Ritchie Bothers took over things have been to high. There was an 813a 400hz unit that sold out of Georgia a year ago for almost 10K!!

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    It is 3/4 stud for sure. Just not sure on the pitch to order a thread chaser. Is it 16? I didn't check but are the wheel studs the same as the lock studs or is another chaser needed?

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Fixed a tire that leaked badly. Rust all over around the oring. Guess I should do the other 5 soon too. Anyone know for sure that the thread size on combat wheels is 3/4-16? I want to buy a thread chaser to cut the rust off the threads

    starting 802 with no electronics

    Ok I have a strange one for you. I have a parts 802a that has been robbed of most everything of any use. It does still have an engine and voltage regulator in it. What I'd like to do is put 24v to the starter and a fuel pump and start it to see if it is a viable engine. What I don't want to do...

    Coolant recovery tank 802/803

    I did find the part number and google it but was unwilling to pay the price for a genuine one.

    https://www.ebay.com/itm/3-X-9-Universal-Polished-Stainless-Steel-Radiator-Overflow-Tank-/113677839944 Hate to put something shiny in these but I will give this a shot. Supposed to be the right size inlet. Zed the suzuki one mentioned in that post only appears to have an inlet and no outlet...

    Coolant recovery tank 802/803

    That might work. I'd like to see one with some more details before I'd order. I'm sure I can google that part number. The other one mentioned from a suzuki does not appear to be anything more than a catch can for overflow

    Coolant recovery tank 802/803

    Has anyone found a replacement tank that will work for the 802/803 overflow? I found a suitable cap with the search but not much came up for the tank

    Picking up an MEP-803A from an Army depot

    PA is terrible for any out of state guy pulling a trailer. Commercial or not they will pull you over and ticket you for something. I'm only an hour away from the Western border of PA and wouldn't take a trailer of any sort across that line for any reason.

    Waterlogged 803a

    I could put it in my press and pop them free I'm pretty sure. But even if they were free I wouldn't use it without a rebuild. It's just faster and easier for me to throw another engine in it rather than screw with it. I may throw some evaporust in those 2 cylinders to see what happens before I...

    Waterlogged 803a

    Center two cylinders are rusted solid. Tranny fluid sitting in them for a year and not a drop made it past the rings

    Waterlogged 803a

    So I finally got around to swapping motors last week. It wasn't bad at all. It took about 8 hours I'd say. I ended up with a used engine for $700 to put in this. With purchase price being low as beat up as it was it will still be a worthwhile investment. I did it a little different than...

    Super single tires need resealed

    I have new valve stem seals to go in when I break each one down. Figured it would be pretty stupid not to change them since I am in there
