Everything seems to be fixed as I type this. They agreed to ship it in a box, now I'm waiting for them to tell me the size and weight to send them a label. I will say everyone I've personally dealt with has been polite. All but one was very polite, and that one only let out some long sighs, if...
I've talked to a few people from Gov planet, Iron planet, and Ritchie Bros today. They told me to wait for the email to be answered, that I sent them a week ago. When I sent it the email info said it would be answered in 24 to 48 hours. I sent an email question about a different listing I was...
I've called their customer care. They told me they can't do anything, I need to email the warehouse site. Which I have done, sent an email to gov planet website also. Today I got a courtesy reminder that I haven't paid. What I've found interesting about the items they sell is how neglected by...
Do they answer email questions? I have asked 3 times recently but never got a response. I won something and asked about shipping....crickets. My mistake that I assumed the item would be parcel shipped like others sold. Looks like I'll get a black mark, but even tho I bid too much, I'd pay for...
It's been soaking for a couple days, and I can tell it's stuck. Although I can't look down inside the engine, there must be a cam down in there that the roller on the bottom of the pump rides on. I figure the pump should move a half inch or a little more. The portion of the pump that moves with...
Those were exactly my thoughts. If a vehicle was cannibalized there wouldn't likely be a crate to store it in either. It would go straight into the vehicle that needed it. I'm trying to picture a scenario where a good tank is removed and put into a crate that a new tank came out of.....but...
After taking a break from this project, I pulled out the injection pump today. I'm going to soak it in penetrant, and carb cleaner. I can't actuate the pump by hand making me believe it's stuck. My question is should I be able to move it freely by hand? When I took out the 3 nuts holding it down...
Fuel tanks come up occasionally, and sometimes in the crate, and sometimes not, but they look used. I was trying to figure out why a fuel tank would be removed from the vehicle in the 1st place if it was good. I was apprehensive to bid thinking there must be something wrong with it. I can't...
Hello,
I just picked up what looks like the same unit. It is a 2009 PowerSystems unit with the John Deere 3 cyl engine. After adding coolant and oil, and batteries I want to see it run, hope it will. Quite a few hours on it, almost 3K. I'm sure there are do's and don'ts in the starting procedure...
I determined that the spring should open the valve, it's just stuck. There are 2 generators on the trailer. I took the same cover off the other generator engine, and it was stuck too. Pushing as hard as I could with my thumb where the spring would push, this valve popped open, and working it has...
I saw those drawers in the new models, very nice. My old model has tool boxes in cubbies...not very handy. The main tools don't look like mine either. I'm surprised a nice unit like that would be surplus.
Looking at the picture of the trailer....that system looks modern, and really nice. I bet you're happy with that trailer! Mine looks like an antique by comparison.
On my way home with it, a guy at the gas station thought mine was an old generator trailer. I think mine was used, but nothing was...
