Thanks M 38 in maine for posting the pics to the thread, I still haven't figured out how to do it. I just installed the PTO for the winch and have the dog house all out. The fuse / breaker panel mounts right back under the radio on four bolts with spacers, stays secure and doesn't really take...

but in answer to you question, if you treat them right they last last last ( 5000 hours was about right for a TF 34 100 A) , tiny turbines get a lot of abuse, GTCP 36-50s ran to failure, but generally about 4 to 5 hundred hours between major breakdowns and component changes, Get A 71 A from a H...

No not at all, your missing the imperitive, Jet engines used in aircraft use Jet I as the fuel source,and have to have controllability and atmospheric change envelopes, Power plant turbines are static and vary little in operating RPM The turbines used in power plant operations use LNG ect as...

not nessacarily, what model of GTCP do you have in your unit, I assume you have a 397, or 71A or Gtcp 36-50 or something along those lines. Some of the older power units use basic engine control system , usually a centrifulgal 3 speed switch . Franks picture is a fuel nozzle cluster for a can...

last I noticed the AF book of replacement cost pegged a F 100/129 engine used in the F16 at around 4.2 million with core exchange. ( yup even the AF does core exchanges lol ) the fuel control alone for some engines runs in the low 1 million range to 2.3 million each, and one person can lift it...

Hey Beyond Biodiesle, lucky guy , love Sedona! , Its not really a need to re add additives , its a matter of adjusting the engine parameters to run with out them , to do that one needs a Jet Cal to trim the engine , along with the data to know what the Trim should look like, Its a matter of...

l used a M 561 with just a vinyl top for three summers every day 40 plus miles to work May to Nov. then my M 109a3 for the last three No problems, as long as you watch yu oil and run clean fuel your OK Tires on the steers don't last long.

Posted pictures of my Vic 1 install in my profile photo log, don't know how to pull them into this thread , Actuall y put them there a few weeks ago,,forgot to post I had done it I guess

Ill keep watching, very interested

its not quite that simple, Jet engines and a gas turbine is a jet engine, use fuel pressure servo sensors for a plethora of functions, Your "specific Gravity" of the fuel is the biggest concern, older jet engines and gas turbines had specific adjustments on the fuel control for various fuels...

turbo exaust gas leaks are usually easily detected, look for black diesel residue, clean up the flanges well and drive it then re-inspect Or use a lazer temp gage and look for leaks, you will see the leak in a small variation in the flange surface, pass the lazer dot slowly all around the flange...

Using a long screw driver with a wooden handle or a mechcanics stethoscope listen to the assemblies whether on mount brackets or on the block, each assembly turns at a different cyclic rate (CPS) so you can tell which assembly is making noise by approximating the CPS aurally. Place the screw...

air compressor , clean the pullies, change the belts, mine does the same sometimes, especially if I get it wet or if I havnt driven it in a while

Look good peter, Glad you got them home, my trip back was quick, let me know when you may have doors thanks Andy

Both M 38, cant find any clear instructions on how to upload photos, but, managed to blunder two into my "ALBUM : under my profile of my 400 small block Gama Goat with a Rt 524 and vic one set up installed. If you would like to have a look guys feel free, if you know how to move them to this...

I would like two tops to start possibly four, depends on PRICE. Bows are a cinch to make, all you need is some galvanized electrical conduit and an electricians bender, then flatten the ends a bit uniformly.

Well guys got the pictures of the goat ,radio and vic 1 install, just cant up load the pictures

the truss kit was kept in a bag behind the drivers seat, If you look in the TM it shows its location.

I spent twenty years in the USAF working all the a/c seen in the posts, I worked Jet engines to rockets, to launch and recovery to hangin bombs, I fully understand the boneyards purpose,BUT, the destruction of some of these A/C is nothing short of CRIMINAL, I am Biased, But at a time when we as...
