    MEP003 value?

    What shape are the fuel tanks in? Often, those fuel tanks are all gummed up and nasty if the gensets have been sitting around a long time. I assume they must be fairly clean if you went ahead put fresh diesel in. You might want to go ahead and clean the facet pump filters, and then loosen the...

    Replacing Starter Solenoid on FLU419

    I'm having issues with the starter on my FLU419. The solenoid either clicks or chatters when the start button is pushed. After several attempts with the chattering solenoid, the starter engages and spins the engine fast. I cleaned up all of the battery cables and other cables as well to make...

    Cummins vs Fermont 10KW Gen Set - What makes the Cummins worth a higher price premium at gov.planet auctions

    I wonder if the Cummins gensets are EMP proof? In my opinion all tactical equipment should be EMP proof.

    M35A3 wheel beadlocks

    I've removed and re-installed 7 beadlocks on my M35A3 by myself - no Soldier B. It is not that difficult and they do serve a purpose.

    BFR's Floozy

    Looking good Joel! That pressure washing made a big difference on the bolster trailer. It pulled really good behind my deuce.

    M35a2 from South El Monte Ca to Yuma AZ

    Temperatures can get high and you can be miserable driving in high heat in a deuce, not to mention engine cooling. If you do decide to drive, I would recommend driving after the sun goes down and there are cooler temperatures, assuming that your lights are working well. I've recovered two...

    M35a2 from South El Monte Ca to Yuma AZ

    If the truck is running and drivable, why not drive it? Costs a lot less money and can be fun. South El Monte is not that far from Yuma.

    Low hour M803A Fuel leak, Cover suggestion

    I had an upholstery shop make me a cover for another piece of equipment I had. The cost for sewing was minimal - the fabric was the most expensive.

    30 mph tops

    That is one nice looking M37! I agree with all of the previous posts, but I would start with checking whether the throttle is opening all the way and then re-check the timing, assuming the T-case is in high.

    To insulate under the hood or not.

    I have an M35A3. It originally came with a steel hood and insulation secured with the round fasteners. The hood was severely rusted everywhere those fasteners were located. I replaced the old steel hood with an NOS fiberglass hood and no insulation. I couldn't tell any difference in the...

    Got a deal on chainsaw

    I noticed that the new chainsaw listed was a Model CS05. The Stanley chainsaw that came with my FLU419 was a Model CS06 . I'm not sure of the difference. Are you sure it will fit into the holder in the tool cabinet? The price is sure good.

    Ship a MTV from PA to CA

    Try United States of Freight. ( @unitedstatesoffreight ) I had them ship a FLU419 from Pennsylvania to Georgia for me. They did a fantastic job and their price was significantly lower than anyone else I could find.

    Hydraulic Hose Reel

    One was a long Proto adjustable wrench and the other was a Ridgid pipe wrench. I started with the Proto adjustable wrench and a Craftsman open-end wrench, but the Craftsman wrench failed. The crazy thing is that the Ridgid pipe wrench I used was an old pipe wrench with a lot of wear on the...

    Opinions on Undercoating

    I wonder if that stuff would be good to spray on the wire rope on a winch? When I received my M35A3 W/W it had very low mileage and the winch wire rope had never been unwound. The wire rope was sprayed the entire length with something like that RP-342 and the outer layer of wire rope on the...

    Hydraulic Hose Reel

    I finally got the hydraulic couplers loose from the hydraulic hose. I had to use 5 foot cheater bars on the wrenches for both fittings. Once they broke loose, they both unscrewed by hand. I was really afraid something was going to break with that much force. The good news is that the new...

    Is it a transmission, transfercase, ujoint or rear diff problem?

    I would suspect U-joint. Put it on a lift with it running and get under it.
