    HOL-GAR CE-106-AC/WK 9 EP Genset

    By field manual, do you mean the -35? The -20 manuals will contain much less information. I found my manuals (-10, -20, -35, -35P, -ESC) on ePay and from a radio company in England. They still come up on ePay every so often. I have not been able to find a -20P. I'm not aware of any...

    Mini Light Kit Instructions and TIRES

    Thanks for the clarification. The parts book does say the correct one is two way fronts, but does not break down the lenses. So the red/yellow makes more sense now. The ones I found are one way yellow. Gets me half way there! Thanks, Allen

    Mini Light Kit Instructions and TIRES

    Here's a pic I stole off the net. The kit I "made" consisted of the lights, clamps etc. from vendors but I had to make the brackets based on other mounted pics from this site and others. The round lights I found already had the brackets. The marker brakets are easy to make. It would be...

    Mini Light Kit Instructions and TIRES

    I see someone in 2008 asked for the instructions (drawings sheet 19207-12301024 ) for the mini light kit. It was never posted. Does anyone have one now they are willing to share? I have the kit pieced together but no instructions... I'm sure I can figure it out, but I'm just curious. I'm...

    Rebuilt my M105 master cyl on Sunday - some tips

    Mike, My master and air diaphragm seems to be held together with something that is spring loaded. I can separate the two about 1/8" and they come back together. Is there anything between the two that needs to be released for disassembly? My master is pretty gunky and I want to overhaul it...

    M105A2 Rack Brackets and Wheel Cylinders

    Does anyone know if the brackets for the front (or rear) racks are available without the wood? I need a front or rear rack to complete my M105A2 project and can attach the wood myself if I can find the brackets. I don't think a complete end rack would ship very well...? I can make the brackets...

    Generator only puts out 24.5 volts

    The regulator can be changed with the gen in the vehicle. Just pay attention where each numbered wire goes. That being said, removing the unit from the vehicle will aid you in further diagnosing other issues if they exsist (cooked bearing, etc.). It will also allow you to bench test the unit...

    Generator only puts out 24.5 volts

    Is the 24V on the vehicle? If so, you are likely reading the batt voltage and the generator is not putting out a dime. I agree it's likely your regulator. The regulators are all over the place. Allen '70M35A2 '55M38A1

    Good source for air coupling nuts and air lines

    I get all these fittings at my local NAPA. They are all in the Weatherhead/Eaton catalog under the brass air brake section. I've attached the catalog pages here for your convenience. The catalog numbers are the NAPA numbers. Allen '70 M35A2 '55 M38A1

    What is the lowest temp your deuce started in

    Five below zero (-5), plug the block heater in for 3 hours (the kind in a freeze plug), full front end blanket, and it fires up in less than 2 seconds of the starter and purrs. I also use a Chargetek battery minder. I also did this last winter at 28 below zero and same results. I suppose I'm...

    Anatomy of a Deuce Generator

    This exact same thing happened to me this fall. You can check the main generator to see if it's still good by grounding the brush on the left side and it will run wide open. I only suggest doing this momentarily and on a good bench tester. The unit will definitely draw way more than 60 amps with...

    Headset Cable Extenders

    Thanks for the links. I initially thought they would work great (I'm trying to extend my H-161 headset, but see that C and D (microphone) are not connected in the CX-7868. The pr68 web site does say that you can take it apart and complete the connections. That being said, I see on Fairradio...

    HOL-GAR CE-106-AC/WK 9 EP Genset

    Excellent! I agree, it's way overbuilt and has some idiosyncrasies, but it's a nice genset. I'm glad to hear it works on a 4 ton heat pump. I recently started to mount my genset in an outbuilding and am anxiously waiting to see if it will handle my 5 ton heat pump. The surge draw is pretty...

    M105 Brake Fluid Type

    Picked up a nice M105A2 at Ripley, MN and have been going over it and am now on the brakes. Read the TM and it says DOT5 (silicon based). This must be a very early A2 model (old rear lights, mushroom handle parking brake, greasable brake cables, etc.). The color in the master cylinder is...

    8683516 - 90 Inch Trailer Interconnector Harness

    I checked the classified ads and searched for posts, and could not find any sellers. Can someone point me in the direction of any member who sells the 90 Inch Trailer Cable Interconnector Harness, part number 8683516 - new? Thank you, Allen M35A2 M105A2

    Going price for M105A2

    I just picked on up one from GL in MN (Ripley) that is all complete and functional, with bows and a cover for $225. The tailgate needs some chiropractic work and I'm missing one front/rear rack. I hate to hijack this thread (but I'm gonna do it), does anyone know where I can get a front/rear...
