    PAD125A Fix-up Thread

    Despite the low pressure rating, these produce a decent stream with a fire hose and an 1-1/2" nozzle. I (my FD) has 2x nonenclosed. Don't run them out for fuel as PITA to reprime (compared to the new Hatz diesel pumps). Also have 3x 2kw genset versions as used on MKT. Nice little generators.

    How much generator do I need?

    Generac's entire business model depends on huge spending on mass market advertising. Do you want to buy a generator or TV time? Idiot that succeeded me as mayor of my small town, replaced the MEP004 I got from DOD surplus, with a POS residential Generac (because had a nifty app for his cell...

    Detroit Diesel

    Not an ideal spot for my question so might be close. My Vol FD has a 1985 Ford L8000 engine (pumper). Power is a 6I71. Truck has about 20000mi and low hours. We have a couple know lots young guys who know diddly about any engine built before 2000. Shortage of old experienced 2cycle Detroit...

    MEP004 to run a welder

    I avoid "I don't know diddly about what I'm asking but a new "hobby". I just bought at auction a Lincoln CV-300 with LN7 feeder from surplus at a small job shop. Said to work. New skill to learn. Way back when, all we had in HS welding was Lincoln stick welders. My kids HS have brand new...

    Export MEP-80x to Canada - Has anyone done this?

    Don't forget that when you hit the US border you have to travel in miles. We don't allow any of that eurowussie stuff here in the US.

    At least you found some red paint. No one told you that airplanes are white NOT fire trucks?

    Converting M916A3 into fire service

    The M530 Duece I think, had a the fire pump direct connection to the PTO. Works OK on smooth surface but less satisfactory where working cross county. Throttle bouncy causing pressure fluctuations. Thus hydraulic driven pump to smooth out the flow.

    MEP 805A Fuel Help Please!

    Unless you're enjoying fiddling with a extraordianarily nice/low hour genset, just get another genset. DOD surplus always has many listed/available. The 800 series that have not been OCONUS frequently have very low hours (every genset sold at auction site could have been your's) In you part...

    Converting M916A3 into fire service

    Old Stanley Tanker 514 had the 2500gal HEMTT tank on a 1991 F900. The new tanker has same tank on M916A3. A big upgrade.

    Converting M916A3 into fire service

    The Gorman Rupp pump and SS tank are both off M97 HEMTT rcvd from DOD surplus. Objective is set up for pump and roll. We also the have complete M916A3 winch (45000lb) hydraulic pallet available to sell. Appears the cable has never been unspooled and tractor only had 3000mi when picked...

    Generator Output cable ID

    I you have a list of sychro switch options usable with 2x MEP803 that would be great. The things you learn when you read the TM. Even downloaded the TN 9-6115-660-13&P for 803 powerplants long ago. With the AN/MJQ-37 sycro switch apparently is for change over but not parallel operation? Is...

    Generator Output cable ID

    Not looking for a sync switch. I don't think the MEP803 are capable of sycn. operation. Just thinking of an Gen A to Gen B change over (as for maintenance). The switch I have on hand came from a MEP002 based Power plant and Guy says does not have capacity to handle 10kw. If can't find a...

    Generator Output cable ID

    Yep to supply local church/emergency shelter (240v 1ph). Now apparently need to find a A-B switch that will handle 10kw MEP803 as a powerplant.
