I hate to say this but a military vehicle probably isn't what you need for this. You could haul more pallets on a 1-ton truck with gooseneck and fuel mileage will be much higher and maintenance cost much lower. The fuel mileage and maintenance cost are going to kill your bottom line. The M939...

Yes, I understand that but if you just hook up to any 120v source you couldn't read your voltage settings on 240v single phase or 3 phase, unless I'm missing something. It seems to me of you just hooked up to a 120v source all it would ever read is 120v max and wouldn't show when you adjusted...

I checked out that gauge. At first I had trouble finding it, typed in "hardy diesel" in the search box and all I got was Ed Hardy jeans. Then I searched as a username and found it. It looks good but I wonder how to wire it. I'd assume you could just pick up the 120v line going to the transducer...

Thanks for all the suggestions. I was running the engine wide open, or at least as far as the cable will come out. I just need to put my multimeter on there and check the frequency so I can make sure I'm turning 1800.

I do know when you start getting above 60,000lbs gross weight she starts to slow way down on any kind of hill with the NHC 250.

How can you tell if it's the gauge or the transducer or both? I can't find anything in the TMs that tell what the wires going to the gauge coming from the transducer are supposed to read. I know there is 120v going into the transducer but can't find what the output is.

I've got a multimeter that will read frequency but don't want to have to have it around every time I fire up the genset. I've looked at the kill-a-watt and may just go that route. I'm assuming you just plug it into the convenience outlet? I'm pretty well versed in household electricity and...

I picked up a MEP 003 last week. The unit fired right up but the frequency meter doesn't move. I have power coming out of the set so I'm thinking either my gauge or transducer is giving problems. I've searched and read threads that says a replacement is fairly expensive. What I'm trying to...

I've gotten all I tried out. My last try on a old 5-ton gasser worked out about how wreckerman described. It came out and so did the old, stale gas.

:ditto: If I were going to steal your fuel, the drain is where I'd go. That way I wouldn't have to fool with a siphoning hose, the fuel would just flow right out of the drain into my container. About all a locking cap does is keep people from dumping something into the tank. The allen plug is...

Yes it is. Welcome from Dickson. I know where there are several trucks in the area. Let me know what you're looking for and I may can help you out.

I have to ask. When you swap the drill rig over, how is the hood going to tilt with the front outrigger on there?

I wouldn't trust it on the road. I've had tires repaired like this before but it was on tractor tires.

That depends. Most scissor type hoist are double acting. That means when fluid goes in one side of the cylinder, it puts the fluid on the other side of the cylinder back in the tank. In theory, the tank only needs to hold as much fluid as the cylinder rod takes up but in reality you need a...

Sort of. I'm using the factory stock winch pump to run a lime spreader bed. The hyd setup is more than capable for running a dump.

There is the turbo upgrade but don't expect much. Do a search for "5-ton turbo" or "more power out of a NHC 250" and you'll find plenty to read over.

I've got a tank bed off a M49 truck that I haven't been able to give away. It's the older aluminum tank and is missing the the pumps. It's still mounted on the truck frame and I've been thinking about cutting the frame off behind the cab and having me a skid tank that I can load onto my cargo...

I need one of them also. Mine will drip in cold weather but holds when it's warm. I guess the rubber is getting old and and when it's cold it gets stiffer and won't seal. Can these be rebuilt?

A M931 is going to be awfully slow on hills with a loaded hopper bottom and may even stall on steep hills in high range. I don't know about your neck of the woods but around here farmers routinely gross 100,000lb+. The wedge type brakes seem to work as good as any but they are a pain to...

Ideally you want your deck height 36" or less. A 9.00-20 is 38" tall. If you add steel over your wheel wells you're going to have to leave room for suspension flex. That would equate to at least a 4" hump you're going to have to drive over. Just keep in mind if you go much over 36" deck height...
