Thank you. Also, I didn't know the 831 was capable of split 240v. I see them from time to time. Good to know! Ahhhhh, that makes perfect sense about the wasted energy part. What constitutes as "heavily loaded"? 10A? 15.99? My generator is a ways from my house. I'm going to add a display meter...

USA homes run 120/240v split, single phase (I believe that's the correct terminology). I have read multiple posts of very good information from @Isaac-1 about the MEP-701A/016B generator (the first military generators I've owned): Examples...

You'll want to post that question in the "Classifieds >> Parts Wanted" section.

Now if the Aussie mail would have just let a certain other package of straps to be sent/delivered...

Thank you! I found your other thread that has the link to the Google book download. I appreciate that a lot!

I just bought a fuel fired arctic kit - well, it's most of the parts of a kit. Missing things such as the in-cab fuel fired heater, fuel lines, and most especially, the instructions. I'd love to get installing this kit. I'd be *very* appreciative if you could digitize your instructions! I'd...

I hadn't considered greasing/lubricating them in any way, but that's good and obvious advice. Thank you.

Each corner of the body of this A3 has 4 holes that perfectly match adding a pair of the standard military jerry can mounts like so (and I've seen photos of other M116A3 trailers with 4 pairs of cans like this): I don't quite have enough mounts in my possession for that, but not like...

Yeah! Thanks guys and very much thanks to you @Tinstar for that thread too. It was that very thread that I pulled the NSN from and searched eBay.

I found an NOS park brake handle on eBay that came with the mounting hardware too. NSN 5340-00-936-5284 P/N 10926073 Stamped on the side of the lever base is "MFR 081X2". It appears to be the same thing, with just a slightly different handle top. I'll report back on how well it fits in reality.

Hah, welll, hey I can use that info regardless because, as you can see, the top terminal doesn't have a safety clip at all.

Great idea. I appreciate an additional way to verify that the circuit breaker is good. I reconnected the Main Circuit Breaker, A1, A2, & A3 side only ("Line" side) with the 'B' side ("Load" side) not connected. I started the generator and the circuit breaker did not trip when moved from "OFF" to...

I would appreciate a little help diagnosing the problem of me not getting power on the output terminal and the Main A/C Circuit Breaker tripping with no load: My 1986 MEP-016B (with ~784 hours) starts and runs great, even after a long period of sitting. I have my generator configured in the...

I like it! That looks like a very worthwhile mod.

Well, at least we don't have that problem in Utah (yet?). You have a grace period after buying a vehicle or trailer (usually to go straight home). I can't register said trailer without it being titled (maybe you can, I might be wrong). I'm not registering mine though, I just want that...

Awesome! Thank you so much. Nice to have documented in my thread too. :]

Thanks Frank, but I've removed that thread you linked as you helped me answer my question so well I didn't feel it was warranted leaving up. But for you @jwhite9787, you don't have much to worry about. Your 1/2 ton truck is more capable than my little Dodge Dakota and even then the typical...

Thanks! I had heard it was a standard lugnut pattern, but I've never looked up to see with what. I plan to move it some times with my M35A2, so the ride height would probably be a good thing. Also, I know most people hate the run flats, but I like the concept of them and it saved me here.

Thanks glcaines! I'm very pleased with it for sure! Definitely more than I needed on my house, but man, I couldn't say no and it's so much quieter than my 3kw MEP-701A's! More pics since I'm limited to 10 pictures per post. Close ups of the tire I want to replace. Judging by the date code...

Yesterday (Feb 04th, 2022) I purchased an MEP-803A 10kw mounted on an M116A3 trailer with the "Power Unit PU-798" body. I believe both were manufactured in 2003 and were rebuilt/reset in September 2010 and delivered in October 2010. The generator had 77.4 hours of runtime. It even still had the...
