Howdy all, Been a while since I started one of these! Got myself a MEP 531A at auction. Definitely had a bunch of hands in it, but, I got one of the best deals that was had in a while on one. I knew right away the breaker was pushed into the panel and the cover over the gauges was...

Aftermarket replacement for the fan clutch solenoid that tends to go bad & start to stick and/or leak & can't be found at a reasonable price to replace.

Everyone, I am currently trying to get a MEP-016B generator running. I confirmed I am not getting fuel on the high pressure side of the injection pump due to it being jammed. I want to remove it but it was left in the "off" position so that is where it's stuck. In the workshop TM...

Howdy, Got myself one of the L.I.P.S. (Lightweight Independent Power System) generators a few days ago. Seemed complete so I went to look at it with a battery & some fuel. Started up & made power so I made the buy. The model on the tag is 30D36R. Did a bit more testing of it today...

Howdy, Going to start another one of my fix-up threads to document what I do to my recently purchased 1998 M1078 LMTV! Got it with the trailer for a very good deal. Drove it home with no problems except it being a slug compared to my Super Duty. Has ~11,500 miles. Overall very...

Howdy, I stumbled upon a few of these for sale. Thinking that it may be a good option to get hot water out at my off grid place. I use my MEP-802A as a power source so I would have 28 volt power source along with plenty of diesel. Just wanted to see if anyone here has hands on use...

Howdy, There are a few pieces of military equipment that run on the Yanmar L100V engine. I'm working on one of these engines & am having a hell of a time figuring out my problem. I have an engine with a fuel cut of solenoid on the injection pump. I've confirmed fuel is getting from the tank &...

Another one of my fix-up threads! Got myself another MEP 501A generator. Hour meter says it has 16 hours if it is working. Pull start handle is missing along with some of the fuel lines & fittings. That's typical of units like this that has sat around outside forever. Going to dig in & at...

Howdy all, Starting another one of my fix-up threads! I shearched a bit & found no threads on one of these. Got this surplus pump that was sitting in a military surplus scrapyard for who knows how long. It doesn't have any plates with any numbers on it. Just a few things spray...

Everyone, Yesterday, I picked up a MEP 831A generator set for $400. Has a little enclosure damage. The upper fan unit was missing. Pull start was removed due to the rope breaking. The positive wire side for the battery was cut. Solar charger wires & the upper fan wires were cut. Moved it by...

Making this thread to document what I have done to convert my newly acquired M116A3 over to tow with my civilian truck. Also wanted to document repairs I have done & sources for parts. Got the trailer to mount my MEP-802A on & add my own things to make it an easy tool for power & fuel at my off...
