    Mep-8xx 400Hz to 60Hz conversion

    That thing went for more than i thought it would!!! I didn't realize there was that much difference in the wiring. I figured a few components but would had thought the harness would had been compatible. That just foes to show my ignorance about these units. Thank you for informing me cause I...

    Mep-8xx 400Hz to 60Hz conversion

    My intentions with this unit was purely a parts unit. I came across it from another member in the ads page. So i made the 8hr journey and looked at it and made a deal. Plus he had some eye candy in his yard we looked at as he told me about the process to get them and make them what they are...he...

    Mep-8xx 400Hz to 60Hz conversion

    I didnt think it was all that detailed. Alot more to change than i thought. Well. I guess i need to find a frequency transducer for this unit so it is complete functionally and put it up for sale. As for the manuals i thought i had downloaded all of them from off the site here but obviously i...

    Has anybody converted a 400hz gen to a 60Hz. What all would be required...gen head, frequency transducer, Hz gauge, and load meter. I picked this unit up not making power but runs. Got it home and making power now but the Hz gauge isnt working. I have 112ac on one side of the transducer but...

    The -803 is finally home

    That helps to clear things up a bit. Understanding what you are looking for is always beneficial. The water pump should be the last part to come in and should be here Tues, but still need to drop radiator off to be fixed. Hopefully by the end of next week it should be ready to fire for the...
