congrats !!!!!!

Two more useful points ensure you have s fire extinguisher hand. If you have a post shut down combustion can fire. Do not discharge extinguisher intake or exhaust. Kill the fuel and motor the turbine over until the fire is extinguished. Worst result is you may fry starter. If you hit it with a...

The micro switch is a service able unit. Usually a little mIL-L-7808 turbine engine oil will free it up. Don’t get it on your skin is is a known cancer causing agent , lol glad I could help. Usually the first thing to look at is the micro switches I’ll still see if he can find the data

Guyfang is correct. They may help you and just might have an old TO around. Historically they replied to official calls. We were billed at the wing level at an hourly rate , by the end of Viet - Nam garret had no more GTCP tech reps at any AFB s for that unit I never saw it used in any...

The start relays at K16 and k17. Near the fuel control test ports also know as the salt and pepper relays your looking for power thru the relays. They control the start of the start cycle. Once rotating the Three speed switch kicks in around 25 percent rpm opens fuel solinoid , supplies...

If you leave the key in the on accy postion does the coil get warm/hot , If you have a condenser , don't know if you do , pull it out of the line of voltage as well .

We referedto the as APUs as well Auxillery power Units , and tiny turbines , The turbing is easily removed, Theses were manufactured when every thing aircraft related was built and maintained the same as your assigned aircraft , In the early days when ever we defueled a jet,could have been...

I retired in 1994, was a small gas turbine shop Chief in the mid eighties doing repair on these, Seems to me the T.O. number was 2G-GTCP-85-70a , it breaks down as Aircraft , Ground support, Gas Turbine Compressor Powerplant, 85- 70 a model. Air Research made or remanufactured most of these.

May you have been NAVY , In the Air Force we used HUNDREDS OF THEM , most had the 71a gas turbine . We called them Plooshes for short, because when you stretched the hose out and loaded air down the line to flush it PRIOR to attaching it to an aircraft it would make a Plooshe sound. The engines...

ALL I CAN SAY RUSTY is NIICCCCEEE !

I ve done a few recoveries, from as far away as Delaware to NH , They ae always a hoot, but ive learned two things. 1, did a tow bar haul from NJ to NH was a pain in the neck the whole way , kept it to 45 mph MAX ! If your going after a truck, either get it running and drive it OR 2, Trucking...

never worked one, grab the Wiring diagram and a multi meter , its a power applied problem , you are loseing applied voltage in the run circuit, BUT I am not telling you anything you don't know , Hate wiring problems, always say ill just quickly wire around it, never due have to find the fault...

Well contacted the manufacture explained pattern is 10 by 11.75. Still talking , problem on thier end is in under standing brakes. Can’t seem to get across five ton had wedge air brakes. They have it in thier mind that they have deuce style brake shoes. Still trying !

Any body tried running Centramatic Balance rings on the 5 ton. Looking at them as a possible cure for my wobbly moment at 43 t0 47 mph. Any one have a part number for them or the wheel lug pattern specs ? Price seems reasonable roughly $200 for a steer wheel set .

Tin Star is absolutely correct on the turbo. I rebuilt / overhauled hundreds , You couldn't even blend that and get any where near a balance on it , They are just like a grenade , shrapnel and all Don't change just the inducer,the exducer will need to go as well, Would wonder how mush was ingested ?

if you have the lever as well as the PTO ,now is the time to cut the hole in the dog house fibre glass. Locating the hole for that is the trick , I figured the location with the lever in mid range, popped a starter hole big enough to get the lever to protrude thru with the doghouse installed...

PTO is a MONSTER, (will take at least ten minutes) good job on the hole, don't forget the seal!

I just don't have the time TOOOOOO many projects and tooooooo many hobbies Thanks Mark, means a lot coming from you.

Guy Fang brings up a good source of multi purpose tool, In the Air Force we frequently checked The MAG PLUGS on the sumps on Aircraft engines and AGE equipment with a mil spec angle head flase light TWO CELL, easy t do, take two spare multi meter leads , POS NEG and attach them to the neg and...

Thank you Sir !
