Yesterday (Feb 04th, 2022) I purchased an MEP-803A 10kw mounted on an M116A3 trailer with the "Power Unit PU-798" body. I believe both were manufactured in 2003 and were rebuilt/reset in September 2010 and delivered in October 2010. The generator had 77.4 hours of runtime. It even still had the front landing jack crank handle in the rear toolbox, and the brakes seem to work just fine (no worn out/failed shock on the surge brakes as is typical).
I bought it from an equipment reseller (consignment sale), and said the reason for the sale was that the owner was going through a divorce.
The only downsides or "issues" I can see are:
A brief start up and walk around. It was about 30 degrees F outside, and I had started it a few hours earlier when it was about 20F out so, of course, it started much easier this time.

The only downsides or "issues" I can see are:
- If I had to guess, the 8 jerry can mounts (2 on each corner of the body) were removed at rebuild/reset and were never re-installed. Maybe it never had any to begin with (I don't know, obviously).
- I need to replace one tire and was blessed to make it home on the cracked one, but I only went 55 mph on the interstate (about 18 mile drive)
- The previous owner had included a pintle receiver hitch but that was missing. The consignment seller believes it must have been taken in the week or so before he moved the trailer into the locked, gated (with barbed wire) yard. Bummer, but I'm muuuch happier to have the front jack crank handle still there.
- And worst of all though, is that it is CARC 686 tan instead of 383 green. Hahah
