    How do you move your generator(s)?

    My pallet fork is on a frame . No clamp on bucket forks here. And I love my quick disconnect attachments 5 minutes is all it take to switch attachments if they are side buy side . I also recently drilled a hole in one of the forks so I can tread on a Reese hitch ball. That way if I’m...

    How do you move your generator(s)?

    To move my Mep-003a I use my John Deere 5075e with pallet fork attachment. Been one of the best 578$ spent ! I use that thing for everything, picking up brush and trees , cutting trees into 5 or 6 foot pieces and piles them on the forks . It even has a 2 inch receiver hitch makes moving a...

They said it was running when it was delivered but little did they know , the intake had a hole in it...

    Gen set humor ? because it's so stinking cold.

    That’s true . I’d prefer them generator to charge it’s own batteries. But the battery chargers did great . The generator ran a total of 120 hours . As far as I know the only thing that pulls power from the batteries while it’s running is the fuel pumps and control panel. Probably not much of a...

    Gen set humor ? because it's so stinking cold.

    Wanted to post this just in case someone else has this problem to. Our generator never did charge it’s own batteries. I think it’s the rectifier. But anyway you can use 12 volt battery chargers on it while running to keep them charged. I just have one charger on one battery and the other on the...

    I’m got the mep-003a running now . Started it in 32 degree weather . It always start even with just 3 glow plugs working .

    Mep-003a fuel filter help.

    Well I’m almost ashamed to admit this . But I had a shop do it . They weren’t to far away and were a very good price . My tank had a lot of rust in the bottom so much so the drain was plugged. What they did they put the tank in a acid tank bath that heats it up and let it set all weekend. Then...

    Mep-003a fuel filter help.

    Yeah my army filters did a good job of keeping the rust and scale from getting to the pump and injectors. I’ve thought about using a marine grade fuel filter like racor, one with a clear blow on it so you can see if there’s anything in it. Then drain them . Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Mep-003a fuel filter help.

    That’s cool sounds like a nice set up, sounds like I was lucky to have all my fuel filter canisters intact . I even had that bazaar fuel strainer in the first filter that’s so hard to come buy. I’ve found a fuel filter mount off eBay that has two spots for a filter/water separator. What’s nice...
