Mep 006a

Well, that would seem to explain the difference between the 004/005 conversion and the 006.
I know they are not the same.... apparently you have found the difference!
My only additional comment would be that most of the instructions on doing the 004/005 conversion show the buss bar as a separate removable copper bar under the voltage reconnect board. I have never seen one ( 004 or 005 ) with the removable buss bar. Every one I've done had the buss bar riveted to the back of the voltage board. Not sure what you will find on your 006, but just an FYI.
If it's riveted on, rather than remove all the wires and remove the board I just go in with a Dremel with a cutoff wheel, cut the buss bar and shave the head off the last rivet so you can remove the scrap piece.

have searched all over every website video 100s of comments and still that’s all I’ve found so hoping some of you guys on here can help figure it out I would have to work for nasa to read the schematics on this thing.

Last one I did instead of cutting it short I moved other wires to electrically make the change

Me a little bit and I'll look for the schematics and see what I can figure out

If u need I can send you some pics of the schematics

The 006A TB1 should be set up like the 004 and 005A TB1's .

Scooby, the schematics are in the TM section, or I can send you the ones I extracted from the TM.

They look the same from the videos and pictures I’ve seen as far as jumping t12-t2 but the wiring is different on the back I believe

I found this in the comments on a video but don’t know how true it is.

Looking at the drawings and yes these 2 moves need to happen, first is for the exciter, the other is the convinence outlet, overvolt relay and part of load measuring.

This is also the time where i add the disclaimer that with any modification comes risk and you need to be aware there is a non zero chance of equipment damage.

So the picture I sent is the only two wires that need to move correct ? And once all is done and ready to be started if something were to get damaged would it happen or should it happen when I close the circuit breaker?

These are before the circuit breaker, so it would happen right after field flash

Im a tad suspicious of the other exciter lead on t9. it should work, the t12 move definitely need to happen because its no longer neutral

I’m a little spooked to do it honestly I’m here at the gen now.

There is such thing as reasonable paranoia. At the end of the day it's your piece of equipment and you have to make the call whether you want to do it or not

 

[mwhiddon]

Do I put the big lead back on t12 or leave it off?

 

[Scoobyshep]

Big lead stays, add another between 2 and 12

 

[mwhiddon]

This is what I have and I guess now I fire it up

Where do you have that red wire running to from T12 to l2?

 

[mwhiddon]

It’s from t12-t2 and well I fire it up and closed the breaker…

 

[Scoobyshep]

Did you win?

 

[mwhiddon]

Did you win?

If this is what I’m looking for I would say we won?

 

[Scoobyshep]

I'd say so the last thing you need to check is putting a load on and making sure the voltage stays somewhat stable

I will have to get it wired into the house but so far this is what I am trying to accomplish correct? And I shouldn’t need to have a load on both legs now right?

Thats a clean looking gen set. If you only knew how many thousands of hours I have worked on them. I can hear it start right now.
