I just acquired a John Deere Gator 6x4 from Military Surplus. Then I looked up PIN to find out what year it is so I can order the correct part replacements. However, my PIN W006X4D041142 is out of range. Is it PIN for M-Gator?
John Deere Gator manufactured year from serial number lookup...
This is the idea I got from.

However, I choose Panasonic ductless air conditioner instead, ~$700. I will install it myself.
One of my MEP-802A alternator went bad last year. I did not fix the alternator. I went with solar panel and charger controller instead. Even you have a good alternator, you still need to keep the batteries as their top every month. However, the solar panel does just that. I left the...
I removed all equipments, cables, devices. Then I use it as overland trailer. I put roof top tent on it. It is not too hight and it is very steady. I put Hardigg storage boxes into skeleton. I can put 6 on each side but load and unload is quite a challenge due to height. However, they are...
This is your instruction, "To test the LOP, start the set, hold the S1 up, flip the battle short switch up, and let the S1 go. Still running? Then the LOP is suspect.". The engine still continue to run after flip the battle short switch.

4. The engine continued to run.
What is the conclusion? Is the...
Thank you everyone for your suggestions.
I think I know what's wrong. The oil presuure guage indicates high pressure (it points all the way to the high side). I think I will replace the oil pressure sending unit, first. Then the oil pressure guage.
Now the hunting for parts begin. I am not...
I have MEP-804A for over a year now. It started and ran fine. I tried to start it today.
1. There are no fault indicator. All lights are lit when press the test button and go off when release the button,
2. When the master switch is in prime/auxiliary fuel, I can hear the fuel pump.
3. When...
I am in a process of converting it to an overland camper. I am getting out of RTT. It is terrible in the storm. I will feel safer in the S788 shelter. Additional, I can use it as an emergency shelter. I saw a couple families in TX and CA live in a hotel night by night after hurricane and...
There are 3 types of S-788. Type I and III have TM. I could not find TM for S-788 Type II anywhere.
My S-788 Type II is almost brand new. All racks inside are brand new. No scratches at all (no sight of usages). My unit is almost complete as well. It comes with tunnel door on the...
Eastern Surplus lists the same shelter I have as S-788. I think they got it from Tobyhanna Army Depot the same lot as mine.
