I asked the below question in an earlier post but it was imbedded in a thread about output voltages. I've added a few more details as needed...
The ASK enclosure on this unit is heavily rusted--mainly along the seams where the "doghouses" are secured to the sides and also along some of the panels down low. I suspect this unit spent some time either on or near a salt water beach. I have to decide if it's worth it to attempt to remove all panels & perform major rust repairs (including cutting out pieces and welding in new sections of angle-iron and maybe some flat panels. If the enclosure is too far gone, then it appears I will need replacement doors in order to return this unit to a "non-ASK" configuration. Is there anything else I will need besides the side & end doors? Maybe also the top panels as well? This is my first ASK model, so still don't know enough about how they're made.
Looking a little closer, I found where the panels are secured so I plan to start removing the panels & pieces to see what I'm dealing with.
If anyone has any advice or possibly has some parts sources, please let me know. I'll either need ASK enclosure panels or the original door panels as installed on a standard, non-ASK model.
BTW, the engine & generator function properly except a couple issues with the AC voltage gauge & the indicator light assemblies for the battle short & main circuit breaker switches...
Thanks,
Kevin
