    Proper trailer for 802A

    I welded 2 - 3/16" x 6"x 8' steel plates top the top frame ,which really stiffened it up and then bolted skids to them.

    Proper trailer for 802A

    My 4x8 harbor freight trailer would be about right for an 802a, I'm maxed with an 803a on it but I only move it around my property or neighbors farm.

    Question re: Loading MEP 802 or 803 onto M116A3 trailer

    Norm Why not leave it on your Harbor freight trailer? I bolted one of those trailer's together so it doesn't fold anymore. Welded 2 6"x8' 3/16 steel plates on top, for my 803 skids to bolt to. A couple of drawers from a beat up husky tool box, just happened to fit perfectly in front and...

    Mep-803a power

    Welcome Sounds like your wanting a setup like mine. I agree with dock rocker, a 6/4 SOOW 90C cable, 50' or under. I have a 30' cable myself. 50amp 14-50 outlet on gen set, 50amp CS twistlock inlet on house. 7' of 6 THNN x4 into panel with interlock. Where you at in Florida? Peace...

    Hardware cloth, I could not think of that name, thanks. Yeah the holes under the batterys I just laid a 4"x4" pieces of the cloth over holes and set battery boxes back overtop of them.

    Acquired a Military surplus load bank

    Got to love these mules! Gave mine a 4 hour workout last week. What's the hardest you've worked an 802 ?

    source for upper radiator hose for MEP-803a

    Hoses are hard to come across, hence why this thread was started. The bends on the hoses don't appear to be very unusual, I'm pretty friendly with my local NAPA & Carquest, I bet if I took the hoses in with me, they'd let me look through their inventory to try and match them up with something ...

    003A running fine but amp load meter failed

    All I could find locally @ auto parts store was a CRC brand marine grade, electronics connection cleaner. I've heard "Dexoit" is best, but have to order online. :beer:

    003A running fine but amp load meter failed

    I have an extra phasotron gauge I purchased to replace one on my 803a as I thought mine quit working. After spraying electrical cleaner and working the switches, it began to work again.

    MEP 802A Fix-up Thread

    Nice trailer, looks plenty heavy enough for your plans. My little cheapo trailer is about maxed out with my 803a.

    MEP-803A Outlet box location on right side?

    I don't see why that wouldn't work, as long as you put some kind of weather proof cover over it. Bolt pattern does look real close.:shrugs:

    Wire Source to 60A service?

    Good point on the NEC, USAmilret you may want to check on that in your area. I kept mine mobile as well.

    Wire Source to 60A service?

    My search for 6ga wire at big box store turned up nil. I found a mom & pop electric supply store near me had 6ga thhn/thwn @ .57 per foot.

    MEP803A Total Output Amps

    I've wired 50amp receipticles/ 6ga awg @ the gen and house, and made a 30' cable with 6/4 SOOW 90c with 50amp straight blade male / cs twistlock female ends. I did go with a 60amp breaker in my interlock panel. My thought was if it were to have a startup surge a little over 50amps ,I wouldn't...

Yeah man I intend to bond my stove internal as well so I don't have to mess with buss bar either. :goodjob: Still I think you should...

    Outlet plug for my 803

    This is a quote from someone here: The part that this is confused by is the bonding location. You can only have one bonding location in a system. The bonding location is where the neutral and ground are connected. This is why we remove the bonding jumper at the generator if its being connected...
