What is wrong me me.. Another MEP803...

[DieselAddict]

Yep. Picked up another one. For some reason the ones on trailers sometimes go for better prices than ones not on trailers. Go figure. Ignore those other boxes. Nothing to see there.

Anyway, I talked to the load out guy for a while today and asked about inventory. The lot is empty of military stuff. He said there is a big computer upgrade that was done a couple months ago and it didn't go as well as expected. He said the computer problems have backed up inventory moves. He said the floodgates are opening in September and they expect to be overflowing with stuff. We shall see.

I don't have any additional info to cross check that up so take it as hearsay.

Nice!

Can't help you with addiction problems, cause I can't see a problem.

We dont have any nice units on trailers show up around here. I would like to find a decent camo M116A3

I am guessing that unit was loaded on your trailer with a forklift judging by the width of the tires and fenders. You got a fork to get it off? I have a couple of those heaters, that was a bad deal for me since one I kind of got running using parts from the other but I basically would consider both parts machines at this point.

Yea, they loaded it with a grossly oversized wheel loader.

When I'm ready to get it off the trailer I'll rig it to lift with the excavator and set it off on the ground.

The two heaters will get forked off with the tractor. I'd use the tractor for the generator but it can't quite lift the generator AND trailer. It can left generators alone though.

When I got a powerplant setup the excavator wasn't able to lift it. I had to use it to just manage the unit and roll it off the side of the trailer. More than a little sketchy.

Me neither! I've got more generators than ex-wives, latest wife of 22 yrs approves of all 5 gensets so I think I'm doing pretty good!

Everyone does. Its the single most handy thing I've ever bought.

Picked up an 802a today and asked my load out guy about the computer upgrade. He confirmed everthing that was left (in his mostly empty lot) was sold and waiting for pickup. Starting next week, his delivery guy is telling him to expect 10 truck loads PER DAY! All the equipment is backed up on base and waiting to be moved.
