First I would like to thank everyone here for a wonderful forum. Have spent way to many hours reading all the different posts.
I have been kicking around the idea of a standby generator for awhile and stumbled onto the MEP series of gen sets. My wife and I both drive diesel trucks, so a diesel gen set would fit right in. Fuel compatibility does not hurt either.
Well, I won an auction today for a two 5KW gen set trailer out of Fort Sam Houston in San Antonio, Texas. GP# 3294076.
My question to the group. What special tools do I need to have with me on the day of pickup? 230 mile trip home.
My short list:
Pintal hitch, will be towing with an F-350.
Temp tag from TxDot.
Floor jack, to spin check wheels bearings and brakes.
Grease gun and grease for wheel bearings.
Tie downs for anything loose.
Harbor Freight mag trailer light kit.
Basic hand tools.
Is there anything special that I might need that I missed? Towed trailers all my life, but nothing Military Grade.![Cool :cool: :cool:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
