Sorry guys, I didn't get a reply notification on your posts to this thread... Engele & tobys, The extra length behind the axle wasn't a major issue. It sits about 9" beyond the rear lip of the gen trailer. In my original post I mention about sway on the trip. The nice thing was i did...

Cleaning would seem like a good place to start. Thinking careful compressed air and sponge bath with simple green rather than a garden hose wash? Easy to get all of the gen since it’s on a rack 2’ in the air. Ordered fuel, oil, and air filters but fuel hoses are long and rotted so figured I...

Power input panel Inverter under Power Input Panel and the 240V shore power cable hooked up Control Panel

Pics... Um.... It looks like this thing has been sitting for a LONG TIME... 36 hours on the control panel may be accurate? Fuel filter looks scary

Guyfang, I have TM 9-6115-670-14&P for the gen. Covers all three models, A, B, & C.

Yea won it at Polk. That was a FREAKY drive down from St. Louis. LOL on the "mysterious" nature of the gen. I guess we will be unmasking that mystery shortly.

Just brought home an S-805 shelter with ALL the MEP-903 generator components in tact. I wanted to use this post to document the checkout and startup (attempt) of the generator since there is very little info/discussion on the MEP-903 generators. Generator Setup in The Shelter: Generator...

That's a neat modded trailer. I will need to come up with a jack system on the back like you have.

Returned from Overland Expo 2018 on a 3200 mile (round trip) cross country run with my S-788/1102 project with a build time of 2 months... Never doing that again! Expo was a bit dissapointing this year. Lots more people and seems like its turning into a social event... Like a trendy thing (if...

Resurecting this old post... Interesting little generator. May be coming across one this weekend with a report out in this thread next week. Seems like a screamer at 3600RPM, 3 cyl with turbo. Bookmark placed! I removed the power disrto panel (carefully) from an 805 shelter I won a while back...

CapePrep, Yes i found LEDs to replace the existing green lights. Ebay E12 Candelabra C7 48/72/120 3014/5730 SMD LED Light Silicone Bulb Lamp 12-24V I ordered the smallest one they had (48 LEDs). They have different sizes. 1.8W-3014-48LEDs White 10 bulbs..... Had to wait for a few weeks...

UPDATE: Pics of the redesigned electrical panel setup. Original sloppy setup: Redesigned:

bigfishtoys, I never got around to mounting and outfitting the S250 shelter to the 1102 trailer. Got caught up in other shelter types. Finishing up an ultra secret project for this year's Arizona Overland Expo and camping adventure with a 788 and 1102 chassis. May post a separate write-up on the...

Busy working on shelter projects instead of the gen but here are updated pics with the LEDs direct from China :) OD

Thank you sir I will give it a try this weekend and report back.

Thumbs up for the Genius G7200 smart charger less than $100. 12/24V, AGM/Sealed/standard, repair feature, and can leave it connected for maintenance/float. I Recovered all 4 of the 6TL batteries on my LMTV. Been using them for years. Not a lot of amps in 24v mode (7A 12v, 3.5A 24V if I remember...

Excellent thread! I just got into the MEP generators with my trailer mounted 2011 MEP-802A... My gen had the sockets and lights already installed just had to make the jumper from the instrument light switch to the three gauges. I didn't see it noted here but the "stock" bulbs are just 194 24v...

Thanks guys, good info... For a quick and dirty fix I ordered a 2" extension, female fitting, and a 1-1/4 tractor flapper to give enough clearance above the stock outlet for the flapper to work. I would still like to have the stock flapper for mobile operations since I have a trailer mounted...

802A Exhaust flap/cover repro & alternatives question In the spirit of Steel Soldiers and search before you ask, I am reviving an older thread to see if anyone ever found a replacement exhaust flap, made one, or developed an alternative. Based on the replies in this thread I know the exhaust...

Firefox, Thanks for the info! Plan includes exactly what you mentioned. Shelter sat for years in a high humidity environment sealed up which resulted in all the mildew on the inside. plan is to have screened vents on either end open when not in use but protect from weather and rodents. I may...
