Hello from Middle Tennessee w/MEP-017A.

[HotRod37]

Been lurking for awhile. I've retired from electrical work and am fooling with a few generator sets. Getting my feet wet with a MEP-017A. Also I enjoy working on old trucks and cars. Thanks for your time. Rick AKA HotRod37

Saved my MEP-017A from a salvage yard they had dropped it from a front end loader and bent the protective frame, replaced frame, found a voltage regulator for 35.00 and it runs great. Use it to run 3 phase equipment when needed. At the high rpm it runs at, it really screams. Good luck on your MEP-017A.

Welcome here from Virginia, too.

Do you have plans for the MEP, or maybe just another generator for your collection?

Don't forget the movement.

Welcome from SOOK.

Generators is is where it starts, then of course trailers to put gens on, then you have to have something to pull trailers, load trailers......... on forever.
Welcome to the insanity.

Wow, somehow I missed the trailer memo and jumped right to a truck! That explains why I can't go anywhere with the genny. Maybe I should divert to trailer from the "crane" train of thought.

 

[Merle]

What ever you do your gonna need a forklift to load the MEP on the trailer to be pulled by your truck to go to the airfield to have it air lifted to I don't no where.

Just a thought. A trailer with a crane. Two birds one stone.


Im going to have to do some research on forklifts.

The lift I use is green but Not quite OD.

Nice tractor, no research necessary, that will work great, I suspect HotRod37 has a (hoist/crane/tractor or forklift) to move his Generators about, and load on his military trailer and pulled by his military truck.
