I'm glad you got it straightened out... I'm more glad you had the issue, and took some photos since I'll be diving in to this area later this year...

Lots of wagon/trailer decks hosed down with that kinda mix too. Seems to work better than most of the commercial products.

I saw photos from somewhere down the shore with flooding just shy of the Sandy marker... I'm glad you got nothing, but there are some folks that are seeing things differently. I haven't had a power outage more than 20 minutes since I put in the generator connection. Most of them, I was out of...

116A2's, and earlier are pretty common in my searches. Usually I find them under older gen sets, and they're not called out in the ad as such, so you might try looking in that world. The tarp arches are reasonably tough, but I don't know that I'd want to depend on them to hold up a RTT without...

i imagine they're "drive pins". My experience is with them holding tags on vintage woodworking machines. You can sometimes get a sharp chisel under them, and pry up. Usually they get damaged, and you need to replace. They're a few bucks for a lifetime supply through McMaster Carr. Available...

May I suggest using a momentary switch... I'd hate to get distracted and leave it on...

I've never tried doing a 37 degree on soft copper, no idea if that's "correct" or possible. Worst case is a 45 flare to NPT, and then to 37 degree. The annoying part will be supporting the copper tube. Beyond that, it's just some basic plumbing.

That's the idea. I know you can get a 3/4 npt x 1/2" tube, but I threw out the 3/8 version as I don't think these machine need more than that, and copper ain't cheap... The thing you have to pay attention to is it has to be a slip fitting, and not have a stop like most compression to npt have...

You could use a slip through compression fitting with a piece of copper tube, and then put whatever fitting you want on the end. This is a 3/4 NPT x 3/8 tube, but they come in other sizes.

Lamp is a T-2 Midget Flange. (that's a new one on me...) Haven't found the lens housing yet... Here's one of the OEM's you can dive deeper on info there... https://www.dialightsignalsandcomponents.com/18188360931553-15-32-pmi-t-2-midget-flange-red-stovepipe-lens-series181/

Is that an assembly? I just ran across this page and scrolling down to the example drawing, it indicates a lamp, lens/housing, and what might be a little o-ring or such... https://indooroutdoorlighting.tpub.com/80/00-900-9423.htm

Having not had an 803, I have no reference, but I thought it was a bit silly to have the valve on the far side of the drain hose on the first 802 I did... I will do the job right once I'm in there... It doesn't cost much more to do it right, other than some time...

Always good to have backup heat though... Planning to use my heater/load to warm an uninsulated garage over the winter as needed. Gonna beat using propane.

Well it was a kinda rainy, crappy day... Couldn't work on the decking project, so after a run to the beer barn, and a late breakfast, I decided to move the project 802a in to the barn basement. Figured at the very least I'd be able to do the rodent screens with a roof over my head. So that...

3 hours on the clock since the last oil change... In 2018. 'Course the clock might not work... I was good... I did not work on the generator today. I checked that when I unhooked from the truck this morning. Rodent mesh will be Monday.
