I'd say this was the right place to post your comment! I live North of you in RI and the same storm passed through yesterday, luckily I'm close enough to the SE that we only got 6" of snow and no power outage. I bought 3 MEP-002A's ( 2 from GL and 1 broken unit on e-bay) to power my house, my...

Looks Awesome all cleaned up! I'm sure you have already done lots of research on SMAW welding. Once you've gotten in some practice time you'll quickly get the hang of it. You'll learn lots of tricks as you go. Also do a little research (Bet you already did ) on the rod designation for different...

Mike, if you verify the solenoid is moving correctly per Dependable's suggestion and the starter is still engaging, try removing the switch wire ( S terminal in the TM diagram ) see if that stops the starter. If it does you'll have to trace back and see why you are getting power on the switch...

Hi JR, I wouldn't worry about the 2" difference having much of a negative affect on your wheel bearing life. I think that note applies more to off road trucks where people use grossly altered wheels ( backspacing ) and/or adapters to greatly increase the track width of the truck. You aren't...

Yup, those are the ones... I bid on the not so nice one in MD that sold for $1100 and I bid on the other one in DE that went cheaper. I agree, the 1 hour on the clock made me leary too, plus I'm a good 7 hours north, so I bid cheap if I have to travel far. Needless to say I didn't end up winning...

Hi Gordon, Now that the auction is over and we are free to talk about that MEP-004A you were looking at, did you end up winning either of them? I saw that the one with slightly more hours went for a really reasonable price. The other was considerably more, but both looked like really nice units.

What do you mean? It still works for me, I just checked. Do you mean because the auction in question is too old, or this function in general doesn't work anymore?

If you had something on your watch list you can go to "Closed Watchlist" from your account page and see what it sold for.

Nice, thanks Jerry. I don't think I ever tried searching that site. Came across it once but never thought to keep checking back there.... looks like a few things right down the street from my house in the next town over! Thank you... I now have another site to kill time at work....

Nice score Jerry! Can't wait to see more pics once you get it in your possession. You guys are luck to live close to GL sites, up here in RI they very seldom auction off anything good that is near by.... I always have to drive 7 hours or more each way.... cause I'm too cheap to ship stuff...

I used to make boidiesel at home and used it in my backhoe and home heating furnace. I only washed what I was going to use for engine fuel. You have to wash it to remove left over soap and methanol from the reaction process. But even clean biodiesel is an excellent solvent so the problem you run...

Sounds like we have another happy MEP owner to add to the growing list....:goodjob: Lets see one of those orange and black genny's from Homer's local home improvement store perform like that.... all while screaming at 3600 RPM, with it's insanely loud ( and mysteriously not sound rated) muffler...

Wow! excellent work there 95blklsc, both mechanically and electrically, nice looking unit! That's what I'm talking about... you need a full enclosure if you plan to make any significant sound reduction. To further reduce your sound level from 69db by another 6 to 10db is going to be a monumental...

According to their web site, the bits are still made in Germany. Rodman is apparently the exclusive U.S distributor.... I looked around on ebay and what not and didn't find anything similar out there. Only carbide tip masonry bits which aren't comparable for drilling steel.

I've used similar material as well and yes, its great stuff, but for what you are trying to do I really don't think you will see much of any significant reduction in overall sound by just applying it to the fan cover. You will only be covering 1 end of the motor , which in essence is a 6 sided...

Jerry, Probably should have mentioned that I did buy my drills at the "Big E" fair in Springfield Mass. 25 years ago, but now need a couple chipped bits replaced and I lost ( or should I say someone ELSE lost ) the 4 smallest sizes on me. So Rodman will sell me replacements through mail order...

Excellent work Jimc, they look great! Too bad they weren't available a few months ago, I would have went with yours instead of the Hardy Diesel one I ended up with when one of my Hz transducers went haywire. Most likely I will still be interested in getting some gages from you, since they are so...

Hello Johnray. Are you talking about lining the engine/fan cover on a non-ASK machine? If so I don't think it would be worth your time and effort. Simply covering the inside of the fan cover will probably do little or nothing towards reducing sound because it only covers the end of the motor...

Hi Storeman, It says trade shows only, but I just called them about replacing a few bits under warranty and they will sell me individual bits ( because I lost a couple ) They gave me a price over the phone and I'm sending a small order along with 4 bits I need replaced under warranty. The web...

Yea, I typed it manually instead of cut and paste... guess I messed something up:shrugs: Here's the link to the 13 pc. bit set, or other sets are available. http://www.rodmanandcoinc.com/rodmanandcoinc.com/category69d6.html?UCIDs=1307321%7C1307323 sometimes a bit pricey, but lifetime warranty...
