    Found an M543 (I think)

    If you have the Zenith carb keep it (this carb has a cast iron body), if it's a Holley I call Saturn Surplus and see if they still have any. My bobbed M54 is a gasser and as stated before they consume large amounts of fuel, I'd second swapping in a Multi or a cummings. Wreckers waaaaayyyyy...

    M54 Transmission Air valve assembly

    I'd pull the two copper lines off and use an air tool oil/cleaner in all three openings, reattach your lines and shift the transmission between first and reveres a bunch of times. You should hear the pssssttt sound each time you shift.

    how cold is too cold?

    I've had no problems with mine starting at 10degrees, it'll run rough for a couple of seconds then smooth right out. I run 15w40 Amsoil in mine which is a full synthetic oil. Is the truck spinning over fast enough? Check battery connections and work your way through the GP circuit then onto the...

    Battery Safety

    Second to the last pic shows the case which is split all the way around the other side to this point. The last pic is a chunk of the battery that stuck in my garage door 14ft above the battery.

    Battery Safety

    Well I was going to start a new post on this but found this one and thought that I'd add to it. On Saturday I was going to use my skid steer to haul wood from the pile to my boiler, I had plugged it in since it was around 20 degrees outside. I got in it about four hours later turned the key...

    Depending on what your looking for, standard maintenance items I.E. filters can be found at Napa. Other parts I'm still researching, but I did find a place that had hoses that go between the fuel filters. You could try ISO Parts - Home Page - Free Locator Service and Stocking Distributor...

    Need cab heat for drive home

    I drove mine home and it was 21 degrees, I was in a one piece insulated Carhart and a hat/gloves. I drove a good portion with the drivers window down and really wasn't cold ( It might have been the excitment of driving it home):-P. I would recommend some asprin for your back, bobtailing one of...

    Best Generator for Veg or WVO

    I've been wondering the same thing, I purchased an Mep 002 to run my house. Lets clarify that I do not intend to run everything but 50amps will allow me to run everything except my AC. My thought would be to filter waste motor oil down to 3 micron or better then cut it with diesel to thin it...

    NHC250 cylinder lining pitting and cavitation prevention

    Is this an in line filter? I pulled the cap on my expansion tank and found the coolant brown, I was trying to see what the antifreeze level was at but it was to brown to see. I'm going to be draining flushing and refilling soon so since it's apart I'd like to add the filter. I'll do a...

    M54a2, start switch wiring?

    I take it's a multifuel? Go to the resources section and If you scroll back to page 5/6 there's some TMs that you can look through to find the electrical schmetic. You have a power switch and the start button going off the top of my head along with the engine stop pull switch. Looks like a...

    I purchased mine from LA, with a LA title and had no problems at the DMV getting it titled and plates. But that's now, when the plates come up for renewal I guess well see what happens.

    Welcome to the site, good to see another WI MVer on here. You may also try GSA auctions they have trucks that come out of the military and are sent to local goverments for use then are auctioned off by them. http://gsaauctions.gov/gsaauctions/gsaauctions/ I think you'd be hard pressed to find...

    Tapping a valve on a 55 gallon drum.

    If you check around you can find drums with threaded plugs on the bottom, otherwise I concur with Stumps if you don't have prior knowledge of what the drum was used for don't weld on it. Use a barrel dolly that can be layed horizontally, Drum Truck, Dispenser, 1000 Lb Cap, 55 Gal - Drum Hand...
