Im still weighting for my EUC to clear.
I have my M35 all loaded up and ready for the recovery.
Still having trouble with my genset. The rust in the fuel line killed my new fuel pump so I just strapped a small fuel tank to the top but now it floods. I must still have dirt in the needle valve...
Ok so Ill wrap the chain around the frame and tie the end so they dont fall off.
Any pointers on getting the 813 started. I would make my day to drive it home.
I gimped my M35 for Georgia to Indiana with a busted transition. May be Ill have better luck this time.
PS I am hating my genset...
To day I picked up
4 glad hands.
100 ' of air hose.
20 ' of 3/8 fuel line
a 24 volt fuel pump
10 gallon steel fuel tank
robed the slave cable off my big fuel transfer pump
extra rear dog bone link.
Is their any thing else I should take.
I planed on changing out the batterys and jumping off the genset. No magic smoke leakage.
Ill call around and see what it will cost for a tow.
Im hopeing its just something simple or that GL just did not even try to start it.
It takes all the fun out of it if you cant drive it home.
Hndrsonj are you saying I can get it towed for cheep? say $200 for 100 miles. Just dont have a lot of cash for a large tow bill. I would think it would run at least a grand.
I'm thank full for the concern of towing a 813 with just a deuce but its my only truck and I dont want to pay a tow bill for 100 mile trip.
I used to work for a small FBO and we only had a small tug to move large aircraft. Talk about being pushed around. The trick is go nice and slow and to...
I do have a 150 amp 24 volt genset thats going along for the ride.
It and 2 new batterys should be fine. If I do tow it im hooking up the air lines and keeping it undre 40.
Ive pulled very hevey loads behind and in the back of my M35 I know I will take a lot more road to get it stopped. And I...
I just won a M813 from GL. It was listed as not running. Ive been going over the TMs to find a possible answer.
I have not seen the truck yet other then GL pics. I'm betting just a dead battery. This will be my first 5 ton recovery.
Any ideas for a good and safe recovery? Ill have a ton of tools...
Ill be their with my M149 water buffalo. I hope to have a pump and heater setup. I also have a 50 gallon water heater Im trying to mount on it. This way we can have hot and cold running water. My need 212sparky to supply power to heat the water if i dont get the diesel fired coolant heater...
Just pulled in to haspin. Made it afer getting lost (busted gps)
And all most over heating. Only took 3 gallons of water.
The welcoming committee is hear but sound a sleep. (SW):driver:
Ill have a 3500 WATT genset ill be running all night if it hot. I can set it about 50 feet from my s280 and any one by me is welcom to plug in to the s280. 110 only and my genset is not louad at all.
212sparky and all outhers. I will have my water bufflo with me. I will fill it in town and park it some were around base camp for all to use. If some one has a 4000 watt 220 volt genset I have a heater for it. It is clean and safe for drinking water.
It was fun! Thanks for everyones help on the dog bone. It only took 3 different impact wrenches a few small helpers and Docs super truck to get it fixed. Sorry for the long delay. A few thing just not going my way the last few weeks but Im working through them. Cant wait till next year.
