    MEP-802A bug/rodent screen mod

    I use 1/4" hardware cloth and self tapping sheet metal screws. Don't forget to cover the bigger offenders, the large square cutout in the skid base under the engine, as well as the round cutouts under each battery.

    MEP 1040 Fix-up Thread

    If it can't take a sustained 12 and shed effectively, it sounds like a design flaw for certain!

    A digital MEP 802/803 repair and maintenance assistant.

    For those interested in such things, I would recommend the entirety of the TMs listed for 802s and 803s (genset and engine books). Its a lot of common info between the two frankly. If its something that works 'well' the info for trailer mounted units (power units and power plants) would be a...

    A digital MEP 802/803 repair and maintenance assistant.

    I would love to help test it, but on principle I can't. I hope it turns out to be useful to someone.

    MEP-016D (Yanmar L70) break in

    Well I respectfully disagree with their statement that break in oil is a gimmick. It lacks friction modifiers to allow slight wearing of components so they all seat properly. But I am glad you got an answer on hours to break in.

    MEP 1040 Fix-up Thread

    Rated power for a 3TNV84T... it should do 12K without an issue mechanically. It is possible that they sized the fan in the MEP platform for 10KW power though (which is why the AMMPS is so quick to throw the code for making too much power). If you were drawing too much, the system should have...

    MEP-016D (Yanmar L70) break in

    I know the 100hr mark is for the larger 80X machines that are rebuilt with Lister Petter engines in them. If you are getting conflicting info, you can always reach out to Yanmar directly and see what they have to say. Thats what I would do here. https://www.yanmar.com/us/support/contact/

    MEP-016D (Yanmar L70) break in

    From this book (which covers the L70): https://www.nuvair.com/manuals/Yanmar-LV-100-Use-Manual.pdf What 'manual' are you referencing that says 100hrs?

    The TM which contains this info is https://www.steelsoldiers.com/attachments/tm-9-6115-642-24p-pdf.716279/ for an 803A, or https://www.steelsoldiers.com/attachments/tm-9-6115-641-24p-old-pdf.888628/ for an 802A. Both TMs will feature manufacturer part numbers, which will cross to identical NSNs...

    This is the supplier. Give them a ring and the number and see if they will sell to you, or at least direct you to where you can purchase https://hutchinsonai.com

    First real use of Mep-803 | Praises and problems (albeit little)

    Just to confirm your question was answered directly (it was over the replies that followed), but that's the diagnosis steps for the engine only. If you take the sender and all other accessories out of the picture... its a mechanical oil pump. If you have pressure issues in this engine, with that...

    First real use of Mep-803 | Praises and problems (albeit little)

    So in basic terms, there are two basic sets of manuals. There is a set for the entire machine, and a set for the engine only. Ending -10 are the 'Operating' instructions - how it functions, what each part does, etc. Good one to read through as an owner Ending -24 are the 'Technical...

    First real use of Mep-803 | Praises and problems (albeit little)

    From what Dewie has told me in the past, the engines may have shipped in with break in oil... but as soon as they were factory received they dumped for fleet oil and out the door. I assume its at the depot level only that the reman engines get the break in. I assume field work does not receive...

    MEP-802

    If you are only getting 19V, I suspect its bad batteries. If the alternator was output tested and is shown as working, its your cells as its highly unlikely (though not impossible) that you have line loss on the DC circuit. I would take the batteries out and have them load tested at an auto...

    First real use of Mep-803 | Praises and problems (albeit little)

    Hit the -24TM for the machine to start testing (the zero dollar first approach): LOW OIL PRESSURE Step 1. Check for improper lubrication oil. a. If proper lubrication oil, do Step 2. b. If improper, drain oil and refill with proper lubrication oil (TABLE 2–3), Replace oil filter in accordance...
