    Just picked up MEP-016D from DMRO, what next?

    I paid top dollar for mine in the GL auction that was taking place. I won with a $480 bid and after tax and auction fees was around $540ish. There were about 12-14 As, Ds and Bs. I was bidding on 3 Ds concurrently, but won the one I'd decided was my first pick based on: D model, physical...

    Just picked up MEP-016D from DMRO, what next?

    I’m new to all of this and just picked up my first GL purchase from Fort Meade yesterday. It is a 1978 dated MEP-016D with ~475 hours on the meter. Frankly, the motor looks brand new and I wonder if the hours could have been accumulated before the Yanmar was retrofitted? Anyhow, I managed to...

    Why do MEPs require ground rod and RV/portables do not?

    I've recently purchased a 002 and a 16d. I am waiting on the electrician to come out to wire the 002 into the house panel. (3-4 weeks) In the mean time I'd like to start the MEP-002 up (been about a month since I bought it from the PO and it's sitting in garage on a trailer) but I don't have a...

    M101 - Landing gear lean, is this normal?

    So to verify, it is supposed to be angled? Sorry if a dumb question - I'm just new to all of this.

    M101 - Landing gear lean, is this normal?

    I just purchased a M101 with MEP-002A on it. I got the trailer home and parked it in the garage. I then noticed a significant amount of lean to the landing gear. Is this normal or a problem? Unpinning the gear (with the tongue supported with jack) allowed me to look at it in between up and...

    Just purchased MEP-002A - Rent our home - suggestions on best way to use?

    Ok, think I found the answer in the referenced thread - but please let me know if I'm wrong. When back-feeding house, the will be 2 grounds. On for the generator chassis (to ground rod), one for the power the generator is producing. (goes to house ground) The 2 are not connected to one...

    Just purchased MEP-002A - Rent our home - suggestions on best way to use?

    Looks like 2 options, back feed the panel or run outlets directly off of MEP-002. If back-feeding, the main panel for house is on west end of the structure, the generator would be on the east - about 60' apart. The ground for the house is right where the utility enters the house. Does it...

    Just purchased MEP-002A - Rent our home - suggestions on best way to use?

    Thanks Kevin, All! A lot of great suggestions! Going back to the 2 boxes suggested, I was digging through the box of extras that the genny PO provided. There was one of the exact model outlet box suggested in with the other items. My question is, it does have some sort of modular...

    Just purchased MEP-002A - Rent our home - suggestions on best way to use?

    Hi, I just scooped up a MEP-002A on a M101A2 trailer from Craigslist. We purchased it for our annual 72+ hour power outage that seems to occur at least once every year. They always seem to occur in conjunction with a snow storm that leaves us stuck during that time. I had been ready to...
