    MEP803A Radiator hoses & Radiator

    Yeah, thats what the site said when I got there... oh well. Id love to get a set of each, so I have a backup set, and I can investigate sourcing an alternate (or have them made similar to how I did with the sheet metal panels).

    MEP803A Radiator hoses & Radiator

    What a bummer... just got an order cancellation from that website. They could only ship me the 88-20190. Time to keep on the hunt for the other.

    Great application shots for its use

    MEP-8xx series fuel pump

    Craig as you have found, they are out of stock in almost all places at the moment. Just put a call into Airtex ASC... they are not discontinued thankfully. They are on national backorder, coming in from overseas. They have a tentative landed date of 3/15. A great time for folks to start getting...

    Anyone looking to get their MEP-802 genset onto wheels?

    I've seen users before who have mounted up their 802s onto the basic Harbor Freight trailer (https://www.harborfreight.com/1195-lb-Capacity-48-in-x-96-in-Heavy-Duty-Folding-Trailer-62666.html). Just had a coupon come across the inbox this morning on this unit, for anyone who has been...

    MEP-8xx series fuel pump

    Look at what I stumbled upon this morning, for those that dont want to hobble together.. https://dpequip.net/shop/compressor-parts/2910-01-470-7423-24v-diesel-generator-fuel-pump-88-22546-mep-831a-mep-832a/

    need help 803a

    I think you mean you are missing the primary fuel pump (which would be bolted to the case to the side of the radiator) and fuel shutoff solenoid (Which is whats missing from the engine block). The solenoid is readily available but the hardware connecting it to the fuel rack is not. The solenoid...

    Mep-003a fuel filter help.

    The big auction site. Use the search term from a few posts back in this thread. Think it was $79 plus freight when I bought it.

    Looking for info on a used MEP-803a

    Is the AC a constant 5500w draw, or is there a range? The 802 will put out 6250w with ease, and I often can test up to 7kw for duration, for what its worth.

    Looking for info on a used MEP-803a

    Posting about current auctions is against the site guidelines, but if you want to PM the link to me I'd be happy to give you my thoughts, for whatever they are worth.

    Saving deeply discharged Optima 51R's

    Ive used this model many times on customer machines: https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/traveller-t-51r-automotive-battery?solr=1&cm_vc=-10005 Little trick to Tractor Supply (at least all of them around here)... buy them online, they can't ask you for a core turn in like if you bought in...

    Looking for info on a used MEP-803a

    These sets are not getting easier to find, or less expensive (at least sets that don't look like Tim Curry in the Rocky Horror Picture Show, or that were rolled behind a HMMWV). If you are seriously considering buying one you will have to deal with items like this. Fuel leak is no big deal, so...

    Unicorns are real.... NOS MEP-802A

    Definite possibility. Doubt I will ever get such a chance again, which is why no matter the cost... I had to jump on them.

    Alternator parts?

    You can get a brand new alternator on the big auction site under the search term "MILITARY MEP 802A 803A GENERATOR 24 VOLT 35A REPLACEMENT ALTERNATOR 8MR3005 ". $219 plus freight. Seller happens to be SS member Suprman, maybe you can reach out to him directly on it.

    Unicorns are real.... NOS MEP-802A

    In looking through my notes, I have purchased this before: https://www.armyjeepparts.com/p-2338-34094-lusterless-carc-green-rattle-can-34094.aspx I recall it being similar, like 95%, but not identical. Being that its truly not CARC (which is a good thing for your health), perhaps its not able...

    Unicorns are real.... NOS MEP-802A

    I will probably end up running John Deere break in plus, just because I don't see any harm in doing it that way regardless... just musing really.

    Installed Mechanical Oil Pressure Gauge on MEP-803A

    How has the gauge held up over time? I assume with flying colors.
