I was looking around for meters for an 002 and came across a company in Georgia selling generator parts. Not surplus MEP parts but commercial stuff. If you go onto this companies website, Central Georgia Generator and go to their customer page it looks like a few people have adapted modern...
Hello Jim, please PM me when you are ready to put the add up on the classifieds as I have an 002 with a broken frequency meter. Like your set up, looks like the bezel ring is made on a vmc. Thanks metalworker393
How are you diesel, yeah there is definetly air getting to it. I even went as far as pulling the rubber hose off between the air filter cannister and the intake manifold. could feel the air getting sucked in, and the air side glow plugs "were a glowin"
Hello and how is everyone. I am having the same problem with an 002 that I have. I replaced the engine on a dead 002 with one that came out of a Kuwaitt repair facility. I crank the engine untill it reaches 30 psi, then preheat for 1 minute. Engine starts really hard sputters dies and then I...
Hello and how is everyone today. I'm getting my other deuce ready to go on the road and i want to get chains for the tires. This truck has the 9 x 20's on it and they are pretty horrible in the snow.
How many chaines is the truck supposed to have? 10 or 6? I am also interested in the Goodyear...
Hello and how is everybody doing. I just was reading through some paint posts and wanted to ask if anyone had the Behr paint codes for the tan paint. I recently bought a gallon of paint for my MEP 003, Didn't exactly match after it dried. I took a piece of sheetmetal to HD and after several...
Okay, I have one other question tonight. Does anybody have an ideal replacement knob for the three pointer switches? I spoke to a fella at EHC (electronic hardware.com) and he told me that they only fill orders for a thousand pieces at time. Don't need that many. Thanks metalworker393
Hello and how is every one in this wonderful summer warmth. Okay, machine #2- I turned r17 clockwise about 1 1/2 turns no adjustment. It bottmed out whatever is inside. Then stated turning it CCW and was able to get my voltage set (yay!) Okay now that every thing seems to be working back to...
Okay, I'll try it tomorrow. If I turn it clockwise it should bring the voltage up correct? (R17) I did get almost a 25 volt change on each leg by turning the rheostat just couldn't get it up to 228-252 in the 120/240 configuration. I'll keep you posted. Thanks again, metalworker393
Hello and how is everyone today in this beautiful weather. So it looks like the 003 I've been working on is going to sit for a while before I change out the rotating diodes. I do have another 003 to tinker with. This is the machine that got the engine and fuel tank from the 112. Its running...
Yeah it's weird, the machine was making power then just stopped making juice. The engine was just running along and no more power? It did start hard but the main breaker was off. After about 4 or 5 minutes of running the engine flattened out and was running good.
Hello and how are you. I was reading through TM5-6115-585-24p and on pg 151 (8-2) it details the 12 volt test. Tried it posted my results. I am next thinking of changing the wire harness as I have a 112 I bought as a parts machine. The harness carries the same NSN# so I would imagine they are...
Hello and how are you. I just did the test where you hook a 12 volt battery to the terminals of TB3 -5 & 6. With a battery connected I was reading 37 volts on L0- L1 & L0 -L3 and 75 volts L1-L3 . Then my DC vr took a dive. Changed that out with one from a dead 002 I have and the charging...
Hey guys, I checked the voltage at TB3-5 & 6 yesterday one more time. I was still only getting like 3.5 -3.8 volts. I did not get to check A4 T6 for 24 volts, I will try and do that today. You say to apply 12 volts to the exciter field, that would be through the J12 connection if I understand...
All right, so if my machine is set up like yours the only real way to flash it good would be to disconnect the fuel supply at the ip, disconnect the electrical plugs on the pumps and crank the **** out of it. Is there any way to bypass the starting sequence and not crank it yet send current to...
Okay, just went outside and took a reading at TB3-5 & TB3-6 . I didn't preheat the engine just put the probes on the screw heads and and started cranking. I was reading 1.4,2.5 2.3 volts before the machine started. After starting I was getting about 5 volts on my meter. Is this normal? I also...
Okay, I checked the resistor on the A4 board and my meter is reading 54.6 - 54.7 , suppose that's good? As far as the flash circuit, I tool the plug off of the j12 receptacle set my meter to check for continuity on the pins and did get that. If the j12 plug goes back to TB3-5 and TB3-6 could...
Good day and how are you all? Okay I did hold the start switch in the start position for about 20 seconds after the engine was running. I did not repeat it though. How do you test the flash circuit to make sure it is working and where in the TM's is it described? which is the capacitor on the...
How is everybody today, Okay Jim this one is for you. I switched out the vr from my 400 hz machine and set the jumpers up as per the tm. I decided to fire the machine up and see how it is. I had the machine running and was only getting 7-8 volts on L0-L1 and L0- L3. no real change in voltage...
