Ray is a good guy to deal with, if he has the parts you need. I would also recommend Gary Jones over at Diesel Electric Services (https://diesel-electric.us). If its a Lister part, he can get it for you!
If you are at the point of running a genset during extreme times, it would be in your best interest to look elsewhere online for tips and tactics about the methodology behind running in bursts, and when it makes sense to do so. Can't say too much more on that as the site guidelines warn of...
No the numbers on them were custom run. Search through the forum, the same milspec wire is available on spoons without nomeclature on it... want to say it was through an Allied or similar.
Forgive me for sounding alarmist, but I hope you all use this situation across the world to make sure your sets are not only fully operational, but that you have the necessary supplies (fuel, filters, backup parts, etc) to ride out whatever length of time you could potentially see life...
Older Ford rims (8x6.5) will readily mount up (Older F350s with Dana 60s feature this). They sure do ride well don't they, probably even better with two sets!
The bonding strap ties N to G for free standing power installations (where you would be running discretely, and with a driven ground rod). If you are wiring into your home, theoretically you disconnect the bonding strap as N and G should be bonded in the home.

I just had to use an E8135 on a machine in the aux fuel position. A bit of alternate mounting (square Facet was there before), and shes in there like factory. Check out the nice note left for me upon initial inspection....
And yes, nice fuel level switch...
Guy is referencing eBay. Its commonly called the big auction site, since the rules of the site can be... problematic, for some things. We are not forbidden to say the word, but life is often easier when the moderators don't come around looking for rules infractions.
Do the 831s have adjustable throttle cables like the other machines? I just diagnosed an 803 that kept giving me an overvoltage condition... turns out someone messed with the stops for the throttle and it actually WAS producing too much voltage. Have you tested this machine with a handheld...
What manufacturer breaker box do you have? Can find install instructions online based on that. If you can provide the make, I can help show you manual breakout options made to fit.
Someone before you was trying to diagnose an electrical problem and gave up... thats my bet. Just put a 10k up for sale in the classifieds that showed up with all the relays loose, no hold downs in place, no start, no power condition.
