The nuts on all of the shackles had been welded, surely to keep the shackles from "wandering off", but most of the welds look rusted/cracked through now or that they wouldn't hold up against an impact wrench. I spent a few hours last weekend cleaning off the many GovPlanet stickers. A heat...

The trailer's tires were NEW. Maybe not the newest MTR style, but these do not have a blemish on them or sidewall crack and the nubs and writing still perfectly intact. Also, the trailer has the highly sought after 24-bolt wheels. It came with a decent loadout in the tool box: 3 copper...

Well, I just purchased a second M116A3 mounted MEP-803A generator! This one directly from Gov Planet auction. It was refurbished in 2012 (vs the 2010 'reset' of the tan generator above) and has 703.4 hours. The Gov Planet listing said it had a bad starter and the oil pressure gauge was...

Thanks guys for your input. Yeah, I will be in 120/240, because I'll use it as a whole home generator, but I need a bigger transfer switch now (I only have a 30A Generlink automatic transfer switch) :wink:

That's a good point. I don't *have* to have the little vinyl cover with the draw strings there. Thanks! Edit: What was the previous purpose other than for the electrical power cord to pass through?

I had hoped I could store the short "always connected" plug inside the acoustic housing but unfortunately these massive twist lock plugs are just a little too big. However, the cord section is long enough I think I can just put the plug under the generator skid and that'll protect it from most...

I've built my own custom power connection cable for this generator. I'm sure it would have been cheaper to buy a pre-made cable (such as for an RV), but this way I was able to make it the way I wanted, such as I wanted to leave a short section always wired in place so I didn't have look up the...

Each corner of the body of this A3 has 4 holes that perfectly match adding a pair of the standard military jerry can mounts like so (and I've seen photos of other M116A3 trailers with 4 pairs of cans like this): I don't quite have enough mounts in my possession for that, but not like...

Awesome! Thank you so much. Nice to have documented in my thread too. :]

Thanks! I had heard it was a standard lugnut pattern, but I've never looked up to see with what. I plan to move it some times with my M35A2, so the ride height would probably be a good thing. Also, I know most people hate the run flats, but I like the concept of them and it saved me here.

Thanks glcaines! I'm very pleased with it for sure! Definitely more than I needed on my house, but man, I couldn't say no and it's so much quieter than my 3kw MEP-701A's! More pics since I'm limited to 10 pictures per post. Close ups of the tire I want to replace. Judging by the date code...

Yesterday (Feb 04th, 2022) I purchased an MEP-803A 10kw mounted on an M116A3 trailer with the "Power Unit PU-798" body. I believe both were manufactured in 2003 and were rebuilt/reset in September 2010 and delivered in October 2010. The generator had 77.4 hours of runtime. It even still had the...
