Started taking the Acoustic Supression Kits (ASK) off today. There are tags saying that the oil and fuel have been drained. Not a surprise. Anyone know what the best oil for these is? Time for a trip to get supplies. So far, I need 2 batteries, oil, oil filters, fuel, fuel filters.

Ok, I got the generators off. I decided to do it by myself, so here is the evidence. I happened to have some motorcycle tires and cardboard boxes that I used for a landing, and I just pushed the gensets straight off. I thought that they would land harder than they did, but the tires and boxes...

Sorry, series is what I meant

Thanks everyone for the awesome replies. I have learned a lot already. Currently, I have the generators unbolted, disconnected and ready to come off of the trailer. Just waiting to get a couple of guys over to help me out. I think I am going to get a couple of batteries and run them in...

Jbk, do you mean that I need to get 2x 12v 51r batteries and run them in series? I just called Napa and they told me that they do not have a 24v 51r in any of their books. Rick, I know that would be cheaper (at this point, at least) but I would really like to fit the batteries into the given...

I just called around to about 8 stores in the area looking for these batteries. I only found one store which is located in Lynnwood which stocks these batteries. All Battery Sales and Service: An Automotive, Marine, and Industrial battery supplier. has them for $202 each. Anyone have a better...

Thanks for the info, Isaac. I'll definitely be shopping around for these. Ichudov, thanks for the resource. Glad to have helped a member of the forum by the link, and I hope that this serves as a resource for those who come after me. I'll update the string regarding the batteries and...

Thanks emmado, I was a little worried, but I do also see these markings on nearly all of the lots, even those that work. I'm hoping that I lucked out, but time will tell. I did a little more research on the battery that this unit is supposed to take. It wasn't in the manual anywhere, but...

Strangely enough, I was in Woody's 4x4 today in Vancouver, WA and I saw one of these. I am not sure what they wanted for it, but thought it was worth posting. http://www.woodys4x4.com/ I agree that it wont be hard to find a member that is scrapping one of these from a recent deuce bob...

So, I made a (not so) quick trip to portland today to recover the generator trailer. Sgt. Roberts was really helpful and had a lot going on, so he got me out of there very efficiently. I brought my remote light setup which worked flawlessly, as well as my new pintle hitch that I picked up at...

This is great for me! I was originally looking for an M101a2 or M116a2 trailer, but these came up and I had to jump on them. Looks like I got a decent deal without having to wait months.

Hmm... I looked back at these and is looks like all of the gensets have the circle-X on them. You think this is just a liquidation of the busted units? Anyone have real world experience buying something with the circle-x? Thx for the tip on the lights. I have a remote brake light setup that...

Thanks for the reply, Harold. Nope, the M116 is a 3/4 ton trailer. I plan to tow it with my 07 Toy 4Runner. It's rated to tow 5k LBS, and the lot weight is listed at 3160. It's also an A2, so it has the surge brakes which puts my mind to rest. I'll definitely be bringing tools to adjust as...

Hey guys, I just won my first GL auction, and my first military Gensets. I feel like I got a good deal at $720 for 2x MEP701a generators mounted on the M116 trailer. I have bows, but no tarp, and there are 290/446 hours on the generators. See link below. Any best practices or advice from some...

I just won my first GL auction yesterday for a powerplant trailer with 2x MEP701a. I was under the impression that I would have to get an EUC filed for this, but I have gone back and checked the page and I don't see the EUC requirement. Also, I just got an invoice paid in full notification in...

If you have room for me, I'll be there! Hah! I wish! Actually, I have a nice Harley and a 1000cc Sportbike on there. Check it out if you're interested.

Thanks for the help on these resources. I'm finding that I'm in a hotspot for MVs. I'll check out those resources and I hope to meet some of you soon. BTW, any Microsoft folks on these threads? Also, I've got some trades posted in the classifieds section here. Hope to come up with a Deuce soon...

Very nice!

Wow, great thread.

Wow, that looks great. You're going to make me buy one of those....
