I paid 3k, the owner wanted 6k but I was able to snag it for half. He said he originally paid $11,500 for the thing! I figured 3k was about what a nice 803A runs after a bid war. It spins 3600 and has no idle function and im not a huge fan of that, 5w40 oil for sure! I ordered the belt, water...

Was lookin for a MEP for my father since mine works so well, but ran across a ultra rare 1999 Honda EB12D with only 16 hours on it, so I picked it up- one question for the gear heads in here- Should I replace the timing belt even at its low hours? The manual says not until 8K hours...... but...

I remember reading that the 803 holds a gallon of oil, correct? Just drained mine after a good 12 hour run after a fall windstorm before the leaves fell off the trees. This is the first oil change since auction pickup as the filter and oil were just changed prior to auction and I'm up to 6.5...

I too only had my 2 day weekend to drive the 2,500 miles round trip from northern Oregon down to Barstow! I drove 85-90 empty down I5 and made awesome time, except the small fuel tank kept stopping me. On the way home I kept it at 60 the entire way home until I got close enough for a friends...

I agree fully, take your time and have some fun with the 803 pickup--- but even my 80yr old father told me to F'n hammer down before I get ran over when pulling our travel trailer threw Idaho, locals at fuel stops said the min speed is 70 :) I joked about old dodge 12v's with 4:10 rear ends...

my mag lights stuck to to the main frame of the trailer ok, see picts. My units tires are a 2005 out in the barstow sun and were totally perfect.... i even sold them for $400 on craigslist and bolted a set of my old dodge wheels on it to lower it down a tad :)

Mine came with 0psi in the tires, fired up the 803 plugged in my compressor and aired them up to 30psi and held 65-70 the 1000 miles home without a issue, these are rock solid with zero sway with the pintel at the high setting! just make sure the parking brakes are fully released :)

iv seen several 802's with rods threw the block go for $3K plus on IP and GP its crazy how many bid on them

Mine sites in the back of my old Toyota that lives in the back of my heated garage- probably the most pampered 1990 Toyota and MEP out there

Oregon also only offers B5 or B20+ so I decided I must find a way to cycle threw fuel rather than storage of it. So- Found a FREE home heating oil tank on craigslist from a home seller being required to switch to gas prior to the homes sale (stupid Oregon) then added a nice pump and a ultra fine...

Wanted to give a update, ran it as hard as my homes wiring would allow and kept it between 60-110% with electric heaters, doing laundry-ect and sure enough blue smoke went away just past the 90 minute mark! Here is a video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7fWpjFjWCC4&feature=youtu.be

I see on some auctions that the battery's have shields to keep them away from the block- my 803 has nothing- no hold downs or anything and the + terminal is only about a inch away from the block, does anyone want to sell me the correct hold down hardware?

Even my 803 drops to 58 or so as I approach 10kw

Has anyone ever checked a local cummins parts house since they stock onan stuff now?

My first run of the 803 also came way before i had planned, it was wired in just a few days prior and we were in the middle of a kiddos b day party (excuse to drink with friends) with a house full of people, I spiked 110% a few times with a kitchen full of crock pots, toaster oven, microwave...

with my 4k monitor the pictures are still only about 3" when clicked on

I just fired mine up this AM at 15F without glow plug, mine spun over much faster than yours and fired right up. your fuel pump does sound like its got a air bubble as ppreviously noted

I passed up a 2/71 Detroit screamer at a barn auction this summer.

you get all the nice ones! Look forward to getting one of those when they hit IP. 5kw out of that is pretty good as my Kubota B2320 doesn't make much power until revved above 2500RPM, sings well right up to 3100

I did have pencil eraser sized flaming crispy critters coming out of it the first time I ran it hard on a hot summer night, Wish I had taken a video of it! I'm picky about my fuel, its fresh ULSD with 2 quarts of power service white bottle antigel, 8 oz of biocide and 1 quart of 2 stroke oil...
