I wouldn't be surprised if the floor mounting isn't the weakest point. I have an LMTV (new) bed and was looking the four holes over. The metal around them is not all that thick.
You know if the screwdriver worked, then the coil did not fail. You are jumpering out the start switch and wire to provide electricity directly to the coil....which if it (coil) failed, would not pull in. I have the same condition on my 929 and carry a short piece of wire, having ruined a good...
A lot of them can have 240v or 120.. If it's capable of being changed (like a jumper) and ran on 240v, it would clearly say. I had a large one that was only 120 and it simply had too much line loss to perform very well. After that, I look for the ones that can go either way (given a choice)...
Your #6 wire is plenty to handle it either way.
Why would you not run this as a 240 (L1, L2, N and G) that is just 2 x 120V...like your house? No jumper. If you put the continuity meter on L1 and L2 and get no reading, then it should work fine
Edit: I read back and see the idea of having...
Then do this....use an ohmmeter to see if L1 and L2 on the camper distribution box are connected. If they are connected, you have straight 120v and it can only be plugged into a 120v source. If they are open, you could have two seperate circuits that allow for connection to your 240 home...
I used to go get stuff at Columbus and once to Ok. City. It was a long trip (couple days) to OC and a full day to Columbus.
For the most part....I'm out of the game as the cost to recover is exceeding the value (and price I can resell). GP don't respond to my efforts to establish a facility...
Offer was turned down....back to plan A. I would have changed the outriggers to angled (45*) like my boomtruck. Now they won't be as heavy to hold as much weight...but will still be at 45, just supporting a lighter crane.
The use of the dump valve on the manifold makes it work for either type pump. I haven't looked at the wiring diagram, but the operation of any other valve would have to close the dump valve so every valve must have an electrical switch.
I've made an offer to buy one....the entire crane. I'm...
I'll have the U-bolt when I take mine apart but I need the shackles, springs and mounts for my A3. I was just going to cut it as unthreading looks like a PITA.
I grew up under the flight path for landing them at Grissom AFB (was Bunker Hill). The early ones had 8 jet engines that were very noisy and extremely bad at fuel consumption. On approach, sometimes they were going so slow it seemed they would just stall and fall from the air. I remember...
Yes, someone could buy it, but with the new restrictions on use. At least after 2019. If they get it in before then and don't let it lapse, then it should be "grandfathered".....wow....talk about creating something hard to keep track of for the DMV.
But is there other legislation?
I understand what you are saying with all the steps to get legislation passed, but if what I saw in the video is all that was passed, it is very narrow indeed and looked reasonable.
But let me be clear, my interest is not HMMWV but the other recently sold...
So is there other legislation coming up?
Obvious legislative intent is to give current owners some leeway that extends indefinitely as long as the vehicle is registered/licensed.
No, they were NOT designed SOLELY for off road use. They are on the road all the time and were designed to solve a problem of former Jeeps....rollover. That a vehicle can be taken off road and used does not make it "off road only"...it makes it multi-purpose.
