    How important are the extra fuel pumps? MEP003a

    I would keep it simple and use the 24 VDC pump.

    Strange road speed-related air puffing sound

    When I was on active duty, one of our guys put a recap on the front of a 5-ton. This was strictly forbidden. Only new tires were permitted on the front. One of the recaps blew out, he lost control of the truck, crossed the centerline hitting a civilian car, and wiped out an entire German...

    M35A3 Alternator Problem

    The Prestolite alternator in my M35A3 has been declining for a few months. The needle is now firmly in the yellow on the gauge. I checked the voltage with my meter. The alternator is putting out 27 VDC regardless of the engine RPM. Then I discovered something interesting. The data on the...

    Don't forget Swedish. Learning Swedish is compulsory in Finnish schools because it is a legal language in addition to Finnish.

    Ignition Key for FLU419

    Did FLU419s come with a removable ignition key? In my experience, most U.S. military vehicles did not come with keys, simply an on/off switch. Some military vehicles with keys had the key glued in so that it couldn't be removed. My M1030M1 USMC diesel motorcycle is such an example. My SEE...

    Can a 419 purchased from private seller ever be titled for road use?

    It depends on what State you live in.

    M35A3 winch control valve question

    I think the switch is designed to dump air from the line once the switch is placed in the off position. Otherwise, when you turn the switch off, the line to the winch will still hold pressure and although the switch is off, the winch is still energized. When I switch the winch to the off...

    mep gen sets

    You will really like your MEP003A genset. Mine sees a lot of use as a backup for my whole house. I've been using it over eleven years with virtually no problems. I like the fact that it is air cooled. One caveat, don't idle the engine. Shut it down at full RPM / 60 Hz.

    FLU419 SEE HMMH HME Owners group

    I started de-rusting my current 160ATSA195 Oregon bar that came on the chainsaw and which is the correct bar. The bar has damage from the jack hammer laying on top of it. I've now trashed it. As I mentioned, Oregon has no records of manufacturing this model. I talked to someone else at...

    Accessory switch issue

    It's time to do some electrical troubleshooting. Get a VOM if you don't have one and start following the circuits. Start with a circuit that doesn't have power and trace it back to where you do have power. That is where your problem will be. I've attached an electrical schematic.

    SEE Exhaust Pipe - Any one have source?

    Thanks. I have an M35A3 that has a Haldex air dryer with a 24 VDC heater. It works quite well and something similar would fit quite easily in that space. I was actually surprised that the SEE didn't come with an air dryer.

    SEE Exhaust Pipe - Any one have source?

    Where exactly is the storage box located on a SEE? Mine (1987) doesn't have one, or perhaps it was removed. I see in the manual that there are two different tool storage boxes, one smaller one located behind the backhoe seat and under the fuel can mount and another much larger one located next...

    M35A3 winch control valve question

    When you say you are going to try flipping the switch around, do you think someone plumbed it backwards and you are going to switch the air lines? Is the winch actually enabled when you flip the switch the way it is connected now? I can't get to my A3 right now, but when I can I'll look and...

    FLU419 SEE HMMH HME Owners group

    The new Oregon bars were so inexpensive I decided to go that route. If I can't find a new bar for a reasonable price, I will try to de-rust my current bar as you suggest.

    FLU419 SEE HMMH HME Owners group

    Has anyone tried to replace the chainsaw bar on the Stanley chainsaw? My SEE came with a Stanley chainsaw model CS06120M that has an Oregon bar model 160ATSA195, with the additional markings of 30959 GA. Although my chainsaw looks brand new, the bar was laying in water and is very rusty. I...

    M35A3 AT1545 airline question

    There is one lever that is pulled up and out to engage the hydraulic bypass. Another toggle switch moves the winch drum in or out. The hydraulic winch on the A3 is identical with the A2 winch except it is driven by hydraulics while on the A2 the winch is driven by the PTO. I have had both A2...

    M35A3 AT1545 airline question

    The winch on an M35A3 is hydraulic powered. The controls are pneumatic powered.
