MEP-003A/Trailer Measurement Please

[m38inmaine]

I am in need of the measurement from the front of the skid frame to the front of the M116 gen trailer so I can drill holes to bolt the set down. My trailer was setup for the older gas sets in tandem. Looking for factory mounted set measurements please.

Thanks

Hey Mark, I can give you those measurments when I get home this afternoon. I can even tell you where the Military bolted down my 003A to my 116.

Thanks, looking forward to your reply.

Thanks, looking forward to your reply.

Here you go Mark.

From the Center of the Front Lip to the Front of the skid, I have 25.5".
From the Inside of either wheel-well, to the Center of the mounting bolt, on either skid, I have 7.625".
From the Front Lip to the Front mounting bolts, I have 39.75" on both.
From the Rear edge of the trailer, to the Rear mounting bolts, I have 24.75".
Measurement tolerance was +/- .125".
Hope this gives you what you wanted. I wasn't trying to be a Geek by giving you decimal measurements, it just looked better in print than trying to use fractions. Post up again if you need more info on this setup.

Thanks for the measurements, I will get it drilled/bolted down tonight and will report back.

Steel and Canvas has it correct. I am getting ready to paint mine so I took some pics. Note the hole for the oil drain kind of in the center. I am also perfecting the dump feature before I put on the paint.

Thanks for the confirmation

I have a very large hole, 2" - 3" in diameter, somewhere near the center of the trailer. I'm assuming this is to allow any liquids that concentrate there, a way to drain out of the trailer. Glad the measurements were helpful, Mark.

 

[m38inmaine]

That large hole is for the engine oil drain tube.

 

[Speddmon]

Engine oil drain tube should be offset to the rear of the trailer a bit and to the right (when standing at the tongue of the trailer). To have the drain hole in the center of the trailer, you would be bending the oil drain tube awfully hard to get it to that hole.

Note the hole for the oil drain kind of in the center.

Lord knows I don't like to be "that guy" out bumping really old threads, but... Anyone have the measurements to locate the oil drain hole in AceHigh's photo?

I think the location is the same (or close enough) for the MEP-002A that I have. I'm interested to know the specs on the grommet, too.
