Probably anywhere from $250 to $500+. Some that look like new with no rust or dents clean rubber parts and a non faded control panel can go much higher. They are a piece of military history some people like to collect. They are okay for a short run at a high load, otherwise fuel is an issue...

On a low BMEP prechambered diesel like the 002 there may be no noticable difference. Retarded timing in general will increase smoke, increase exhaust and exhaust valve temps, decrease peak cylinder pressure, decrease fuel economy, and create harder starting. A lot of the time only operation at...

Hi Jerry, Just saying what I was told. I assumed it may have been purchased from GL outside of the auction process. Which got me thinking about asking GL if they would be receptive to an offer on units processed out of DRMO now into GL's posession, but not yet listed or advertised for an event...

A while ago I was a pretty regular customer at some of the GL sites. I got to know many of the GL people and got a lot of information as to how their business operates. I noticed some particular sets were pulled from an advertisement, about 10 of one model and a few of another. Just gone. When I...

Isaac, You bring up a very good point of knowing how the machine is configured before it is run. Interesting that your 701A was set up as you described, which may actually be in accordance with the manual. I have only had a few 016Ds to play with and they seem to follow the the same...

Sorry to hear that. If anyone can fix it you can!

Water separation in the filters on the unit really only addresses minor condensation that drops out in the fuel tank. If a large storage tank is drawn from after a refill which has stirred up things in the bottom then a lot of water could make it through. If the unit's daytank has enough water...

I agree with your assessment IF both generators of 120 output each were being combined to produce a single circuit 120 at 2x power. However, to produce 240/120 from two 120 generators I believe they only need to be fairly closely phased and one lead from each tied together as a neutral. The...

Ignore what is going on behind the curtain! If your particular reconnection switch setting does not utilize a certain lug such as L3 for output then don't worry if there is voltage at that particular lug. It will not be connected to anything. The voltage reconnection switch is complicated and...

What you are posting above makes sense if L3 and L0 are connected internally by the reconnection switch. The generator is a 3 coil, 6 lead machine. In the 240 single phase mode the coils are in a zig zag configuration and L0 is connected to the T4/T2 junction on the 240 volt diagram fig 4.1 pg...

I read the link above. Nice gen sets of good quality. The 903 is listed at 1800 rpm so that would be a 60 hz 4 pole machine. They are direct coupled. Are you looking at a sale of something different than the link above posted? Doesn't the military have a different "903" in their inventory...

The Lister 4 cylinder is used on a 10kw military generator and used on 13 - 15 kw domestic generators, all at 1800 rpm. The 4BT Cummins is much larger and found on 50KW to 75KW+ size gen sets. The 4BT is one of the best engines made in its size, IMO. The Lister LPW are pretty good too but...

The MEP-016 series and the 701A will handle a 4kw resistive load (PF=1.0) and register 100% on the load meter when doing so. Your results could be due to any number of things or a combination of all. The load meter may be out of whack. The meter may be bad, but not likely if it is moving freely...

$250 + at auction. Some have hour meters and some never did. Clean retail on a used one has been around $750 - $850. They are pretty decent Civilian Grade units. One of their neat features is the #1 coil is heavy duty and the full 3kw can be taken on a single 120vac outlet. Plus they have...

I would recommend a 4 point mounting through the body to the frame. Two box tube cross members across the frame separated by 4 feet. Then run 2 more box tubes longitudinal, front to back on top of the new cross members and spread at a distance appropriate to pickup the winch mounts. Due to...

You are referring to this text in the manual for the droop adjustment: TM 05926B/06509B-12/TM 5-6115-615-12/NAVFAC P-8-646-12/TO 35C2-3-386-31 manual, paragraph 4-45. Which is a single manual with this title, I cut and paste from it. Download it too, 288 pages MARINE CORPS TECHNICAL MANUAL TM...

Regarding those pesky rivet nuts that spin in the frame... Grinding them off is the only way to get it opened up. Since the military uses washers on all their fasteners careful grinding will get through the screw head and the washer will protect the housing cover from grinder marks. I usually...

Lee, Turn the switch on, raise and lower the lower float in the tank to see if that makes the solenoid work. The plate on the control box cover with the wiring diagram is the only one I have seen that incorporates the wiring on the outside of the box. Use it to troubleshoot. The manuals only...

I'll check into that backpack option.

Ant, I you do decide to swap out that big shoebox regulator I may be interested in buying it for parts as long as it is not visibly fried or damaged. In any case don't pitch it. There is a very lengthy procedure for testing and rebuilding them. I also have an sx460 on hand but have not had a...
