Subscribed for future discussion. It’s been too long since I’ve been on SS, but I just picked up a couple of 802a’s on a trailer (10kw power plant) that are not running. I’m starting the process of getting them in running order and will post findings as I go. I’ve had several 8xx units...

Yes, I'm still around, though not on SS often. Only green I have now is a compact JD tractor :sneaky:... Sadly, I'm not in the market I helped a friend buy an 803a generator recently through some of my contacts and I still keep in touch with the guy who bought my M1078. I miss seeing some of...

Wow, great find! I always wanted a 1079, but not at over $200K. I'm sure it's worth it and I followed much of Seth's build, but wow... Oh to be the guy with $200K plus for a toy

Welcome from Mid TN.

FrontierAcres has a LMTV but no towbars. A M-1078 is probably a bit light to be flat towing this monster anyway. We used a Ford Explorer as our chase vehicle LOL.

Ok, I owe you guys a better summary. I had 3-4 paragraphs typed up Sunday, and the server logged me off when I went to attach photos, and it was all lost. I got busy and didn’t take the time to re-type. The good good news is, we were able to drive the truck home. My Son originally went with...

Helped member FrontierAcres recover this truck last weekend after it only made it 1/2 way home on the original attempt. These are “big” trucks! I plan to help go over the truck to get it operational and reliable. I think we have a pretty solid unit to start with.

Welcome. Photos of the new truck please?

Welcome back! Good to see other MV folks in Mid TN.

Looking good sir! Every conceivable hitch including a goose neck ball I believe... wait is there no 1 7/8ths on there? ;-)

Did an 1101 recovery with the M-1083 last summer. Everything hooked up fine

Did a bit of similar hauling last October. I loaded several loads by hand. They were small trees, but it was still a lot of work.

It may not be recommended or condoned, but I took off several hoses from the PCU behind the passenger kick panel and sprayed some silicone lube into the unit. I felt that moisture had made its way in there and corroded things a bit. It seemed to help the solonoids on that unit cycle better for...

Safe travels! Another member bought my M-1083 back in November. He drove it from TN to California. It can be done. We spent half of a day going over things and getting him ready. I think he had fun.

Admittedly it was a good episode. I took this snapshot of my hotel TV screen the night it aired. :goodjob:

???

Yeah, I wondered about that when I saw that show. I always saw that angled plate under the bumper as a “skid” plate more than something structural. Basically to keep brush, etc from getting hung up in the radiator & fan. Granted it is a very heavy gauge skid plate... but needed on a vehicle of...

I had a pretty good lot of NOS tachs about 18 months ago (149 to be exact). It took me a year, but they are all sold. You may have success finding one on the big “e” auction site that rhymes with “pay”

I found this today in Evansville, IN. This was all the closer I could get. It looks like the ANG units have figured out a way to mount a commercial plow!

No, not normal. You may want to have a moderator move this post to the Auxiliary Equipment section. All the generator discussions are there. My first thought is a sticky linkage on the fuel solenoid. You may want to lubricate and make sure it operates freely.
