Today it has new symptoms.
Bogging down severely with the short circuit light illuminated in either of the single phase positions if the position is reached by turning the switch clockwise.
But I can turn it counterclockwise from the far right position to the middle position and it runs...
I'm absolutely certain it's something that's only involved when 120/240v is selected, and absolutely certain that the bogging down is caused by overload.
You can see the load gauge in pic 1 showing it's completely unloaded. Pic 1 is when 208v 3phase is selected and it's running well. In pic...
I read through the troubleshooting portion of the -10 and didn't see this explained.
Here's what I've got:
MEP802 340hrs , runs fine when set to 208 3phase. Runs fine when set to 120v single phase. Convenience outlets work fine in both positions. No fault lights. Gauges wnl.

Having flat towed everything from 5ton trucks to M1009s, total mileage in the tens of thousands, I can safely say it's desirable for the steering on the towed vehicle to be able to turn passively to follow the tow vehicle. Otherwise you scrub the tires sideways at the slightest turn.

Plan the trip in detail and drive it! I've done LA to AZ and AZ to KS and a bunch of other long trips in deuces. 500miles a day is plenty.
Or if you're dead set on hauling it, a 1ton pickup and gooseneck trailer is appropriate for the task.

I've got 1102's that had gensets and the mount looks nothing like that.
In fact, I've never seen anything like that. You may have something rare and valuable. Before you do anything drastic, wait and see what you've got.
Does anyone actually run these things enough miles between oil changes to justify better oil and filters?
I know I don't.
I use run of the mill filters and Rotella oil and change frequently.
Except for my M925. I had several big trips line up close together and put like 5000miles on it...
They make glad hand air hoses available at any truck stop for $50ish. The deuce compressor will do it, but it isn't particularly happy about it. The 939series 5ton does it with much more authority.
12V air compressors are cheap and readily available and can be clipped to just one battery...
If the Gladiator will do it, the deuce will do it.
Air down at the first hint of trouble, before you get dug in.
If you're not concerned about originality, there's plenty of 24v winches.
I've lived in Tucson.
