Been a while since I posted here. Glad to see the crew is still kicking. Just got my first HMMH delivered last night. Way cooler than I even imagined! Going to give it a tune up and start fixing stuff. Sheared pin on a crane cylinder, seat back cover eaten by mice, speedometer not working...

Just picked up a surplus MEP805B. Hopefully, this post is not premature. I've seen some posts about low oil pressure, but I couldn't find any posts on high oil pressure. Unit looks good, low hours, supposedly works... Initially, I ran into a fuel level sending unit issue. It was corroded to...

Hey 155 - I also just ordered a pressure switch from mouser for my MEP805B. I thought I was getting something with 4 or 5 wires. I ended up with a 3 wire switch. What did they send you? Factory switch appears to be 4 wire. Sorry if this was addressed later in the thread. Any suggestions on...

Any idea if this is the same gauge used in the M1008? Mine is slightly different than the one you have pictured, as it has a little battery emblem bottom left and the word "volts" bottom right. It's an '85 truck. Thanks!

I was still bidding when my phone died. EI has them for $525. There were 7 brand new units. I needed at least one. Figured as long as I had less than $1000 total in the deal after shipping, I would be ok. Not particularly upset that I didn't get them though. The deal was a lot more attractive...

Ok, who won the heaters?

My impression was that the seller had zero experience selling on eBay and likely had a younger family member create the listing. I emailed him multiple times and couldn't even get a response. Judging by the pics, it's obviously a very successful farming operation, so I doubt they needed to sell...

The seller ended the Ebay auction prior to the scheduled close. Pretty sure he did a private sale with someone "off eBay". I suspect it won't be long before we see some pics on here...

I'm curious who else in the "club" was watching the trencher??? I was, although just as a voyeur.

Looking good, Flufarm. Is that all steel?

I asked this question previously, in a slightly different way. But does anyone know exactly what "Overhauled at RRAD" means vs "Recapped at RRAD". I ran across this article tonight...

Where did you find that?

Thanks General. I actually had not read the rules until just now, and I didn't realize that talking about auctions was a no-no. I edited my most recent post and the pics, but I can't figure out (on my phone) how to erase the original pics. What SEE auctions recently closed without any bids?

Thanks FLUFARM! I knew the experts would help school this novice. Didn't I see someone add a top mount AC? That would help here in Mississippi. I think the guy had removed all the big implements and maybe the FOPS, put the spare on the roof, and added, among other things, a hydraulic welder...
