I did get a response from EG4. They confirmed 400hz was to high for the chargverter.

ha ha. Well I found one. Frequency converter that is. The only problem is its $4000 ha ha. HZ-AFC-1105.. I don't know if you guys have already found these but that is the model number and you can set it up for 120 or 120/240 60hz output with 120 400hz input. its 5kva. I will be doing the...

What are the dimensions of that tank? I'm definitely making the trip but I might not be bringing my trailer. The only other problem there might be is I was planning on starting the trip Saturday or Sunday so would I be able to pick it up on the weekend? This would fit in the bed of a truck...

Okay. Hey sorry but the guy that was buying the excavator from me is starting to have cold feet now so my plans might be changing. I don't know for sure yet but just wanted to let you know and anybody reading, this might not be happening the way I thought it was after all. If the plan falls...

Oh. Yeah it figures. It would be a good way to use it if it would work. I think using it to charge batteries would be awesome. Oh well. Thanks for checking. I looked earlier but didn't see that. It would be nice if I could find a way to make the 400hz work for something. It will be an...

Yes I'm pretty sure I will be buying the kit from kloppk. The one other idea I had was that EG4 makes a thing called a chargeverter. It takes gen power and charges 48 volt battery solar batteries. I've got an email out to them to verify it will work with 400hz and if so I might just use it as a...

Exactly!! I like that engine a lot. I wish I was better at that sort of thing. My dad had that skill too but me not to much. I think I'll probably end up using that conversion kit. I think the chances of finding one of those gens with everything perfect except the engine is slim. Lol. I have...

Right. Once I bring it home and see what I bought I'll know more. Like I've said a couple times now I really like the looks of that gen and that diesel engine is sweet. I pretty much had myself talked out of getting one though then I half screwing around bid a small amount just looking at the...

I will be driving from NM to Penn with a 40 foot trailer and only about 10 feet of deck used around may 5th and returning the next weekend with only about 20 feet used up. I thought about renting a smaller trailer but I need the whole 8 foot wide deck and the trailers around me I can rent only...

Right on. I kind of like the idea of it being a regular generator any way. Thanks for the input

I really wanted one of these gens until I read more about them. I like the design. Then I read they are pretty unreliable but since I've ended up with one I think I would like to try and make a go of it. They are a good looking gen and quiet. The one I bought only has 27 hours on the engine. I...

Also. What batteries have people come up with to replace the military battery it's supposed to have?

Hello guys. Well I've continued with my new addiction. I bid on an 831A. My mistake it was an 832. Oops. I got it really cheap so no matter what it doesn't hurt much. Even if all I got was the engine out of the deal I would be happy. My question is is the inverter the only thing making it 400hz...

One nice thing is that the only problem I've got with this machine is something that all I have to do to make the problem go away is unplug it. Ha ha.

Right!! That's why it's driving me nuts. Lol. It's a very simple device but it sure is having fun laughing at me. The end of the switch appears to be slightly dented.i don't know if that's causing issues. I wouldn't think that one float would be meant to be on top or bottom? I did figure out...

Do you guys know why they might have ripped all the reset tags off a batch of auction gens? There are like 20 gens two per trailer power plants and all the reset tags have been torn off.

Well I tried a few more things. And again with it in my lap it was working. I went and attached it to the machine but with it out the tank if I rotated the float it has a spot where it drops out again (technically I guess it latches again) I could hear the relay click when I rotated it. After...

Well I finally decided to play with this a little more. I thought I had it figured out. I adjusted the top and bottom float stop positions and In my lap it was working perfectly. Then I put it in gnd tank and if I put it all the way down it still would act up but if I raised it inch it worked...

I did get this at least somewhat rebuilt. It is working and holds the gen for now. I couldn't fix the broken pieces of metal since they are cast but by straightening the bent pins it will hold for now as long as it doesn't take any shocks it should sit there fine and even adjust as needed...

Thanks a lot. I'm in the process of learning about these and knowing which parts to buy. I see you can very easily spend to much. Lol. I stole the water temp guage out of my 802 and did the recommend 30 minute run while watching the temp. I added a 35% load as a bonus though. It gets to 180...
