    Mep 002A governor linkage broken.

    That, makes sense. Is there a good link you know of for a searchable PM magazine data base? As for my linkage, I will be giving the injector pump it's B12, Possibly sticky from the the long storage period . As far as I can tell from the paper work I got with this unit , it has been in...

    Mep 002A governor linkage broken.

    Thanks, That gives me peace of mind ( Not a bag injector,pump,ect.....)When I was was ruining Dozer's, backhoes, etc.. was always had an idle cool down before shut off. Is there and issue with oil circulation issue on the Mep-002a during idle. I can't seem to find it in the TM.

    Mep 002A governor linkage broken.

    Dose the extra weight affect the operation of the injector pump ? I'am thinking of going metal also, but I'am wondering why they put a plastic socket for the ball in the fist place. Here is my fix , it is in stock a car-quest for $10.00.

    Mep 002A governor linkage broken.

    When I turn the master on / off ( engine not running) I see no movement of the plunger, but yet when i have the unit running ( Runs smooth and clean) and I shut off the master the unit stops. So assume the plunger is working? Can you expand on the sluggish control collar/ fix. Thanks

    Mep 002A governor linkage broken.

    I ended up with a broken linkage while adjusting the fuel shut off solenoid. Any ideas on a fix, a new ball? Joint & ball assembly? Or do I have to find 2990-01-049-0578 BALL JOINT EA 1 LK859 01843 150-0939 Additionally is the shut-off solenoid energized when the master switch is on Prime...

    Mep-002a Ammeter-Voltmeter transfer Switch

    Is there any definitive way to tell if it was a rebuild or new(28 years old/new)? When they rebuild them how far do they go, I mean is there a "replace all SOP" or just fix whats broke and send back into service.

    M105A2 Lunette bolt, wrench size.

    Mep-002a Ammeter-Voltmeter transfer Switch

    Starting the 3 ton A/C will be the test I guess. So if the A/C pegs the gauge when it starts, but settles down to 120% + - . This would be a A acceptable long term load? All this calculating and I haven't had time to see if they run yet.:shock: They have 2.9 hours and came with the original...

    M105A2 Lunette bolt, wrench size.

    I like blybrook's idea http://www.steelsoldiers.com/trailers/51347-lunette-flipping.html , But with the 1 1/2" box wrench cost $70.00, pintle set up, $200 I feel like I am coming close to the original military acquisition cost.:shock: At worst i might be a little nose down .

    M105A2 Lunette bolt, wrench size.

    Thanks all for the replies, I agree with the cover left on it would be like pulling a sail boat. Any preference on the 8 or a 10 ton pintle (Reese) ?

    M105A2 Lunette bolt, wrench size.

    I am going to pick up my first M105A2 at Nellis this week and need some advice. I have read the post's pertaining to picking up a M105, and I think I have a plan. I'am going to flip the lunette, and I need to know what size box wrench to bring for the lunette nut. Additionally if I have a...

    Mep-002a Ammeter-Voltmeter transfer Switch

    Power factor definition is giving me a headacheaua I like your approach "If it were mine I would test it by gradually adding to the load." I think the only issue will be the house 3 ton 12 seer a/c. The shop has a 2.5 ton 18 seer inverter so i think that will run,so I guess we...

    Mep-002a Ammeter-Voltmeter transfer Switch

    Doesn't the 002A get is 5kw (" maximum rated power........5KW (0.8 Power factor") ratting running at 80%?, or am I not understanding the whole Power factor thing? That's great advice on the slow draw test, I never considered the " brown out affect' on my PC, scales etc . That would not be fun...

    Mep-002a Ammeter-Voltmeter transfer Switch

    MEP 002A is the unit I have, So if I run at 120% I will be at 7.5 kw. The plan will be to manage the load less the A/C at about 80 %. The A/C will push it up to the 120% and could stay on for awhile ( its still 101 right now here in AZ) Do you think it OK to run this way long term ( lets...

    Mep-002a Ammeter-Voltmeter transfer Switch

    My plans are to back feed the panel for house and shop both.( both are in same panel) If it’s a short term outage the house (Refrig, freeze ect..) will be the primary concern, and our day temps are still over 100 here so depending on time of year A/C will be an issue also. If it is a SHTF...
