    Amazon also has piles of Pulsetech products (as well as eBay). Keep in mind, these only maintain good charges, they won't keep up with a serious drain. Pay attention to "output wattage" (more is better with solar). And a lot of brands "pulse" (I think Noco does as well as several other "smart...

    This is the fellow who had been offering copies of the A1 TM. About a year later, he uploaded it to the web for free, but I don't see his post regarding that. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/m1078a1-10-technical-manual.182290/ And I wonder if our fuzzy little kitchen appliance ever got...

    But kick that little sucker up every night and you will hear it pop the disconnect relay at the batteries. It's too big a file, if I recall. It was scanned and linked to a Google d/l site. It wasn't in the regular TM area here on S...I don't think (I'll check).

    Yep, that will shut you down safely at night. The toggle on the driver kickplate (with the red cover) is the remote activation for that relay. The switch-looking tool is a crude wet-cell battery tester. Dips into the old-acid batteries and lights up when it contacts the cell. The rubber...

    Disposing of oil is easy (Auto Zone, etc). Fuel? Not so much (at least down here, only the dump and it has to be containerized). I keep bad gas to start bonfires but 56 gallons would start a LOT of bonfires. Diesel does in fact have a shelf life of 6-12 months contrary to what some claim...

    Off topic, but who do you use for shaft rebuilds ? I can't find a local in Corpus that's still open.
