    MEP 802A Fix-up Thread

    Went about the vents a little different. Had some old pool sidewall material around and cut it to close off the vent lovers while in storage. Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

    MEP 802A Fix-up Thread

    Not sure but with a tank of fuel that is a lot of weight on those tabs. Would a horse mat cut to fit under the tank do better. This is a rubber mat with some air bubbles it it. Maybe cut the mats into strips for moisture drying since a large pad like will keep the surfaces wet. Thanks for the...

    Letterkenny PA Army Depot Preview at GovPlanet

    I guess I should call the site but thought I would ask here first or also. Can you get a "Preview" at the GovPlanet pickup lot. I have done two pickups and the person there would not let me past the gate to the yard, but I forgot to say that I wanted to "Preview" the up coming equipment. I had...

    MEP 802A Fix-up Thread

    I have a 802a and a 804a. Looking to add screens to the vents. Any pictures out there? Thinking about cutting up some old Anderson window screen frames for the louvers (sides and top). Does anyone also plug up the other holes (which ones) also to keep mud dobbers out. Here in Maryland we have a...

    Gentrailer m116a3

    How far you need to tow? How are the cops in your area? I have been sucessfull for the times I pulled a trailer flat towing it with a light bar bolted on with c clamps. Most distance for me was 120 miles one way. Study the pictures and how the hitch is. Unless it is in disrepair the military's...

    How quiet Mil genset

    Ok One is normal (I have 4 now), two is for spare parts, three is a collector's inventory, but what is it called when you have 7? Also most run out of hiding (from the spouse) places after 2. Just funning you. [emoji3] Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

    Mep 803a Percent rated current

    Maybe a good practice would be to over cool your house then set the thermostat up 5 degrees. This will keep the cycle times much less and avoiding what you are concerned about. As your house heats back up then rest your thermostat. I realize this is a PITA but constant run of any mechanical...

    "A Tale of Two MEP-802A And The PU Trailer They Road In On"

    I almost purchased another Power Plant but the one I was looking at sold for $2500. In hind site should have went at least one more bid. Good catch for you. That is one thing with GP watch each sale and hopefully as a bidder you will be rewarded. When ever you get it up and running can you shoot...

    XM 818 won't turn over and Making Oil!

    You got to get the oil, fuel, water out before using a starter again. Dont know myself how hard the injectors are to pull but you need to pull them unless there are glow plugs somewhere to pull instead. Good luck. If you dont do this expect to be changing connecting rods.

    So I bought a GB125 gen set and cant find anything on it.

    Good idea on renting it out. Then I noticed you're in Florida and the auction was in Barstow CA. How did you transport it? Road trip or shipping company. Comments on how it went or cost to move it. Just curious. Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

    Been thinking the same. I also need to tune my 802 up and do some test runs.

    Sounds interesting. Can you post your GP auction number? I don't know anything about it but someone here I'm sure will. Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

    Check those MEPs!

    Good catch!! I will have to check my 802 today. You mentioned the "front generator" did you purchase a "power plant" on a trailer? Been looking at them as they go across the block. Who out there knows about the transfer switch on the power plant trailers. Will it automatically sync the...
