mep TQG sale site?

I haven't been looking for a while, but the "usual" mil surplus generator sales site seems to have gone quiet? No gens, no parts.
Perhaps I have been living under a rock, but the mil stuff seems to have disappeared.

Yes, that just recently happened within the last couple weeks. It's like they haven't advertised any auctions into 2022 yet.
Maybe they are taking a little shut-down!
Dunno....

They announced that they're taking a shutdown until mid January.

Aha! I hadn't heard or read that.

Possibly they are in negotiations with the Gov on fees and terms. They're still selling stuff. just not Gov stuff.... I wonder who else might be in the running for the contact. I'd imagine that the old G/L would be pretty hungry....

Thanks

There are STILL TQG's out in the motor pools. Saw some last trip to Graf. I always look, on my way by the motor pools.

GovPlanet has an '002A for sale in Ohio. It's a Hollingsworth machine from 1981. There's a plate on the side that says Tier 2 reset. What does that mean?

It means it has undergone a rebuild process. Rebuilt engine, refurbishment of genhead and accessories, etc. The hourmeter should have been changed when the engine was (so its not reflective of the actual machine usage... just its newest lease on life).

Read and you will know what is what.

Thanks, guys. Interesting read. I didn't see anywhere where the reset calls for replacing the injection pump. Since the above machine is from '81, it should have had a Bosch PSU. I'm not buying the machine, just curious, as I'd hate to see someone stuck with a generator they couldn't use.
