    Valence's M116A3 Mounted MEP-803A (10kw generator)

    4 conductor 6awg is sufficient for the 120v load as you will never exceed 52 amps on a single leg. Only way you'd need a larger cable is if you were running it a great distance and needed to account for voltage drop.

    Generator auction prices

    My 1040 hammer price was $5500. I ended up with $6800 in it after tax tags, title, fuel to go pick it up, filters, new fluids, and two new batteries. Can't really complain about that given the price of a comparable civi version these days.

    New MEP-1040 pushing strange colored oil out of filler cap

    If you look at the picture of that unit that shows the analog hour meter, it seems to have water inside of it as well. I wonder if these units were in a flood? Hopefully you can dry her out, change some fluids and she'll make electricity.

    New MEP-1040 pushing strange colored oil out of filler cap

    And don't forget to flip that little pull tag back down after you burp the system......if you don't and then run it for an hour or so it'll push coolant out the reservoir cap and drain hose......ask me how I know! Alvin.

    MEP-003A

    Yeah, that run of one star reviews is what caused me to pause. I’ll roll the dice on one and hopefully it won’t be a lemon. Thanks!

    MEP-003A

    Which model comfort zone do you have? The reviews on Amazon are not exactly stellar, so I want to make sure I get the correct one. The wife doesn't want to have to make me brownies once a month when I run her dual ovens load banking my "big green toy box thing" once a month......

    m917 won't shut down.

    It’s definitely something in the switch. It did it again this morning and jiggling the wires on the back of the switch shut it down immediately. Gonna clean em all up and see if that helps. Thank you!!

    m917 won't shut down.

    I've done a bit of searching on this subject, but have come up empty. Our 917 sporadically wont shut down when the key is switched to the off position. Anyone had this happen before? It doesn't do it all the time, but every now and then it will continue to run after the key is turned off. If...

    New MEP 1040 10KW

    I let it charge in parallel for a day then left the noco hooked up for a week. Did this with both batteries before giving up on em. Neither would hold a charge.

    New MEP 1040 10KW

    Did they hold a charge? I used my noco on the two optimas in my 1040 but after sitting overnight after they were “fully charged” they would not start the genset.

    New MEP 1040 10KW

    I stuck a couple 51R's I found at Tractor Supply in my 1040. I use a NOCO 2x5 to keep em topped off. I couldn't stomach paying for new AGM batteries.

    Availability of TQG's

    But with taxes and such you'd be in it for quite a bit more than that. Then you have to add a fuel tank, enclosure, etc to be comparable to a TQG. I agree that the auction prices are out of control, but so are the prices on "off the shelf" commercial sets.

    Availability of TQG's

    That 1030 went for over 6100. That's crazy money.

    M917 speedometer

    Morning gents I tried searching the forums for an answer to this query, but came up empty handed (probably due to my own ignorance) Anyways, has anyone found and installed an aftermarket replacement for the tach/speedo in the 917 (or any 920 series)? My original Argo has not worked in some...

    Two piece to single wheels

    you can do it yourself with two tire irons, a bucket of murphy's, and an impact. Takes about an hour per tire once you figure it out.

    Mep-1030

    According to the GP database the only other one sold was on April 12, 2021. Don’t know when they purge the listings, though.

    Mep-1030

    So, any of you fine folks pick up this little guy today? Only the second one sold on GP. Wonder if they’re gonna start hitting the market more frequently?

    Check your front spring mounts (920 series)

    I had to rebuild both sides of the front cab mounts on the 917
