I was thinking the same thing when I saw that pic. Fingers crossed 742 is actual and the whole unit isn't worn out!

Good point. I can lift that out with my John Deere and it will "only" be ~7000 lbs. :D My tractor will lift maybe 4500 lbs, but not 7000 lbs... Is there a "neutral" on the transmission so that I can roll it off the trailer? I suppose I can "force" it off the trailer by dragging it off the...

So this was one of those "condition H" deals (determined unserviceable). Hour meter shows only 742 hours, but my guess is that it is likely more like 10,742 hours being a 1991 model. Key is missing, non running. But hey, at over 10,000 lbs, worst case, I should be able to sell it for scrap...

Could it be that the 2nd injector pump is not properly primed and/or got somewhat "stuck" when it ran out of fuel? Perhaps taking it out and letting it soak in kerosene overnight might do it some good.

Sure thing Munchies. pm me an address to ship them to.

That sounds interesting. Would you mind sharing some more details? Perhaps in the separate thread?

I picked up the head for the 2009 unit I'm working in and it looks really good. http://www.cstone.net/~dk/MEP802-9-18-14-01.JPG http://www.cstone.net/~dk/MEP802-9-18-14-02.JPG The bad news is that I also head back from the place testing the injectors, and 5 of the 6 are shot. 2 are stuck...

Stopped by the machine shop and dropped off the 4 new guides and chatted to the machinist about the seats. He said that once the guides get loose, the valve is able to move around in the bore and begins to dig into the seats. In the case of these heads, the seats were worn to the point where...

CDR, they all had a fair number of hours on them. The breakdown is as follows: 2006 3544 hours 2007 1355 hours (was reset in 2010) 2009 2844 hours I know you can't always go by what the Hobbs is showing, but I'm pretty sure they don't have *less* hours than what is shown above. :) I have a...

So I spoke to the machine shop and unfortunately the head from the 2009 needs new guides and seats to get functional again. So same treatment as the 2006 head. Fortunately the valves themselves were salvageable. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the 2007 head will be ok (that's the one that...

It appeared to be pretty complete with about 280 hours on it. Engine was a late 2011 John Deere. But it ended up going for almost $5000 and the 2007 next to it with a busted control panel for $4500. At one point I was the high bidder on the pair for under $2000, but that quickly changed...

Still working on sourcing the injector pump shims, getting pretty close though. I got all 3 sets of injectors pulled and found a place that will test and clean them for $13 a pop. Seems reasonable to me. 2 sets are Stanadyne 31539s and one set (from the 2009 gen-set) are Delphi LJBT00301s...

Ah, that's a good idea. I'll also move the dial gauge to #2 when doing that cylinder. I cheated by leaving it on #1 since they go up and down together. Perhaps the crank journals are slightly off relative to each other, so maybe I'll get closer to the 0.060" shim pack that is on there now.

After about 4 hours in kerosene the injector pumps came out pretty clean. Cyl #1 injector had 4 0.010" shims and Cyl #2 had 6 0.010" hims. http://www.cstone.net/~dk/MEP802-9-6-14-01.jpg Since the head was off, I figured I might as well go ahead and time the pumps and see if the shims were...

Roger that Rusty. That's what I'll do then. Thanks.

Got the governor weights back on the cam gear. One of the rollers was seized and left a flat spot (barely). It's the one with the red arrow pointing to it. I was able to break it free prior to installing, and it spins real smooth now after some lube...

Wow, yeah, yours looked pretty bad! Here's mine once I took it apart. http://www.cstone.net/~dk/MEP802-9-4-14-01.JPG All cleaned up. http://www.cstone.net/~dk/MEP802-9-4-14-02.JPG With that out of the way, I cleaned up the misc throttle levers and what not...

I thought about it but did not. But based on your suggestion, I'll be sure to do that as well!

Sorry, I was looking at section 5.3 instead of 5.2. Fortunately, as it turns out, both the 2007 and 2009 units already had this mode done. Perhaps by 2007 they came like this from the factory? My 2006 unit does not have this mod, so I'll be sure to add it (assuming it otherwise test ok)...

So even though that TB refers to the MEP804/805/806 gensets, it also applies to the 802? I think my units already have those fuses, but I'll double check tonight. Thanks!
