Think it's color is 2015 or 2016 Toyota Tundra don't remember year would have to look at paint can! I saw the color on a truck when I was cutting grass one day and said I like that color!
If you want full wattage at 120 volts that generator has four wires , instead of common tapping two wires 2 to 3, you put wire 1 with wire 3 and tie wire 2 to wire 4 this gives you 120 at full wattage on generator. Instead of seriesing the windings you are parrelel the winding , series gives...
j609b I used the 4500 watt from northern tool direct bolt on! I'll take pictures tomorrow! With this gen head it will fit into mep-831 enclosure but you will have to remove inverter,pmg alternator,speed control actuater. And move contactor toward where the inverter was!
That's correct just go to eBay they got some 24vac at 8 amp chargers for around 40 buck and they take I'm 100-265 vac. I used these on some mep-003 5kw I built , I'll try to find link!
Yes the bolt facing down is what you use to adjust the max trottle/governor and as for bsttery charger its mounted on left just hook up the 120 vac input to the new generator.
The yanmar already has a governor internally set to hold at 3600 you just adjust the governor spring bolt you don't need the electric governor. See the post above about mep 831'sijverters. I have a few of these engines and made open frame generators using the northern gen 4500 it bolts direct...
I thought it through and I am going to just buy a gen head from northern tool that will fit into the same enclosure I measured it and it will work, all you do and remove the governor assembly and inverter and just run it with the built engine governor at 3600 rpm in reality it only changes a...
Just got home 1423 miles round trip 7.5 mpg and no break downs was a great trip in LMTV! Thank you everyone for the great hospitality, Marty and Michelle P
I ended up pulling everything getting numbers off the parts crossing them i here they are;
This is for the 3126 cat with all serpentine belt system!
Belt K080775 original mil part only use a K080774 napa 77.5" long 8 groove!Idle pulley-cat 173-1498 use napa 36231Belt tensioner - dayco 220-1209...
I have trying for over a week to get correct parts (Water Pump,Idler Pulley and Belt tensioner)for my m1078A1 LMTV with 3126 cat engine number 7jz00087, to no avail, the CAT computer at dealer shows a water pump that takes a vbelt my complete engine runs off of one serpentine belt can someone...
If you cant figure the flash part you can take a ten ohm 10 watt resistor and thru a relay tie it into the same circuit then on input side you tie that to the small wire on starter what this does is apply a small voltage to the field while cranking and its usually enough to flash the gen...
Also a quick and down and dirty check can be done by remove the small two pin connector coming from the gen head going to control box and while running touch a 9 volt battery to the two pins on gen side , voltage will jump up , this flashes the gen and checks all the generator parts at same time...
