Did a little 12 volt welding yesterday, I was coming down Mount Graham in Arizona bouncing around on some dirt trails and apparently one of my battery cables came loose. I didn’t really notice any signs or symptoms, when I got on the main road I noticed my 24 V gauge was moving with the gas...

The motor on my M 10 10 Suddenly Felt Way out of balance, shaking and rattling. Purchased a new harmonic balancer. I didn’t need a puller and the bolt came out without a wrench just my fingers and about seven rotations. Any suggestions as to what I should do with this mess? I think I can clean...

Just bought some parts to restore my M1010 For $40 how did I do?

The reason I ask all this is antenna climber did a post showing the draw at 100 amps 50 per side so I rated my wiring on this. I have circuit breakers for 100, 125, 150, 200 and 250 so I guess I'll see what fits and works. I don't know how to hyperlink other threads, but it is under the Cucv...
