First things first: this did not happen to me. Second - Long story short: I’m doing some research into cyber warfare as part of an academic project, and I came across something that I think will be of interest to the Steel Soldiers crew: the Aurora Generator Test. Quick Summary: In 2007, while...

Search function success! I ran into the exact same problem as the OP! A couple weekends ago, I had my 803a out in my driveway, running on the aux fuel connection from a full 55 gal drum in the garage. I was letting the machine run for a few hours (laundry day!) as part of my monthly startup...

I made a crude cradle with heavy locking casters for my 803a. I wanted to make it more portable - if you can imagine that - so I wanted something where I could grab some handles and move the machine around. I keep the machine in my garage and wheel it outside when I need it, but also end up...

Thanks for this picture: my 803a has the same modifications to the front panel and exhaust (albeit, mine has an exhaust flap) and I couldn't visualize the application which needed these modification. Cheers, J

I'm the guy who drive from Nova Scotia to buy one of LITD's machines and I couldn't be happier with the purchase. Like many others, my original thought was to roll the dice on an auction unit, get it back to Canada, then fix whatever was required. After digging into the fees and additional...

Thanks Ray70. If you can find the proof you used, and perhaps a photo of your stencils, that would be great!

Thanks fellas - I appreciate the info. I'm familiar with the CARC paint and its health-friendly properties, so I'll be avoiding disturbing the base coat. I asked around the maintenance shop at work about sourcing some of the same paint used on these heaters, but no luck. I might be able to...

Hello all, I’ve happily joined the MEP-803a team thanks to a few prominent members on this site. I’m planning to make a spring project of refinishing the machine to replace a few rusty screws, straighten the dented panels and apply new paint. A few questions for the hive-mind: 1...

Ah yes. A good friend of mine (US Army) and I routinely had the talk about the metric system while in Iraq. “There are two types of countries: those who use the metric system, and those who have been to the moon”. “Then why do you use metric in your military?” “I said the moon...and don’t troll...

Thanks, eh! Glad to hear that it was pretty painless. I saw 14 of the MEP-803a be auctioned off yesterday from the site closest to me going for seemingly good prices. I was very close to pushing the bid button, but didn't want to end up with a generator I couldn't import because I didn't know...

Done and done. Thanks for the suggestion!

All, I'm a new member to the forum, but I've been reading it for quite some time. I'm very appreciative of the collective knowledge available to fill in the information gaps. Speaking of information gaps... I'm interested in purchasing a surplus MEP-803a off one of the usual sites, but I...
