I'm not aware of a multi-fuel military generator. Most common surplus units for the average home are the MEP-002A and MEP-003A gensets that are diesel.
The crank broke in half in my M1009 a year or so ago and I am just getting around to installing a 6.2 from a van. Well never thought about the engine mounts being different. Got the engine in and the mounts were way off so out came the engine. Of course I got rid of the old block so now I...
Look for a machined flat area behind the oil filter, like bob said should start with GPW or MB and some numbers. If not look for a flat surface above the waterpump for numbers(postwar). Keep us posted.
Now that my PRC-47 is up and running I need to torture myself further with another project. Looking for some help sourcing a GRC-9 to throw in my WWII MB jeep. If you know of one for sale I would appreciate the info.
Mine gave me 20 seconds warning it was about to go. It sounded like the exhaust had broke and got noisy and losing power then she shut off like turning the key. Pulled the pan and the crank was snapped near the center bearing. Took out a few connecting rods and broke parts off the block...
I would opt for option #3 with alot of research/feedback on the company you choose. IP's are complex and require special tools, etc and better left to those who are familiar with them. I have replaced 4 6.2 pumps and always had good luck with online rebuilds. It was the same price difference...
Good progress Nick. I lost the 6.2 in my M1009 last year 15 miles from home, crank snapped in half. Is that a mule transmission I see being used as a jack stand? HI HI
If it's hard starting hot more than likely the injector pump needs replacing. Good rebuilt pumps can be had for under $400 but installing it is labor intensive. Don't give up yet, your'e almost there.
I had the same problem with my 003A, it turned out to be a bad battery. When I had it hooked up to my shop truck with the slave cable the battery charging system worked fine, as soon as I unhooked it the voltage jumped past 30v. Double check your batteries.
If that is the jeep in the book then I would not call it a true restoration. There are many modifications from original. Hopefully the author has made note of this so as not to confuse them as original parts.
Here is another source for the regulator SupplyCore Part Detail - NSN 2920-01-038-5252 - REGULATOR AND RECTI it was $89.78, arrived within a week and is new.
I think some of the early windshields used a flanged bumper with a fabric covering like on a M38 instead of a rubber bumper. Not sure on the tm hole, might have been modified, should be easy to tell. Those tunnel covers are pretty common.
There is a ribbon cable that attaches to the back of the instrument panel, these are famous for bad connections then burning out. I think you are wasting your time and money by hanging new parts without finding out what the actual problem is, your'e just guessing.
