I’m not too surprised the HMMWV wheel offset is insufficient. Thank you for answering that!

Question for the crew here, can you put the HMMWV wheels and tires from an M101A3 on an M101A2 / M116A2 (flat bed/generator)? I couldn't seem to find a direct answer for fitment/rub issues other than papakb saying he has ran "HMMWV wheels and tires on my M101A2 for years without any problems."...

April 07th, 2024: I want/need to buy new tires for my M101A3 (and for one of my generator trailers), but I figured in the mean time, the tires I have hold air and would work for a generator trailer sitting in the driveway. I "borrowed" the very nice (like new) tires from my green MEP-803A...

Good knowledge there, thank you. I have literally been doing it wrong the whole time. Well, either way, shouldn't be a problem for a while!

You lived here before I was a twinkle in my mother's eye. :smile: Roy is just a little north of me. I'm sure it was nicer then, but I wouldn't say it is bad now just a lot more people/way more crowded and I-15 was a lot smaller then too. The state has just built a "West Davis Corridor" (State...

I found a warmer day when it wasn't snowing or raining for me to take the top off the green 803. (Utah has had a very wet second half of winter) water supply in January 04th, 2024 vs Feb 16th, 2024 (percentage totals based on the average Snow Water Equivalent from 1991 to 2020) A pretty...

Thanks Jbulach! Sorry for my delay getting back here. Without digging through history, if I recall I paid _significantly_ less than those units are selling for now. However, that is still less than the cost of buying even just 1 new from ExtremeOutback. So saving ~$500 off the get-go is nothing...

Thank you for the investigation. It is always curious what the history of the machines are and who did what/when. Whether a previous owner put that fuse in or it was that way when surplused, all I can tell is that the fuse looked old. (I suspect most likely is a used/old fuse was put in to sell...

Thank you so much Guyfang and Kloppk (and everyone else too!) for taking so much of your time to share your expertise here. I sincerely appreciate it. I did open up the top of the control panel, well, partially at least, because it was REALLY stuck down to the right side and I didn't feel like...

I am not sure. The other side is largely unreadable, but that doesn’t look like “FNQ-R-3” to me. Looks like it starts with an ‘A’. Hopefully potentially the wrong fuse didn’t damage the Voltage Regulator or something else.

I tested the old fuse (the one with red text, obviously) and it was open circuit, no continuity. I replaced the fuse with an extra fuse I had purchased from kloppk (I wasn’t sure if orientation mattered so I inserted it the same way it was on my green 803). I now read 124 VAC on the convenience...

From the convenience outlet I get 26.67 VAC. If I enable the A/C breaker, I get 26.67 VAC between L1 and Neutral and 25.9 VAC between L3 and Neutral (on the terminal lugs) Thank you so much. Beside that procedure to test the A/C interrupter relay (K1), I do need to pull the control box top...

Thanks to Guyfang here, Potomac Rubber was able to sell me the air filter gaskets! Though the gaskets were a special order material and Potomac Rubber only sold them in full sheets. So I could buy the small quantity I wanted or I could buy the whole sheet and it was the same price. Well, so I...

October 28th, 2023: I replaced the Green 803's trailer plug with a NOS one from eBay. I still need to test the wiring as I discovered that the trailer harness had two lines both identified as "21A". Of course, I only noticed AFTER I unplugged all the old lines from the original trailer harness...

If anyone cares, the holes in this voltage regular will fit a #10 screw, but the riveted threads on top are for 6-32 machine screws. I would say I purchased longer screws on purpose but the local hardware store didn't have 1-3/4" long, pan head 6-32 machine screws, so I purchased 2" and added...
