    Posible MEP-803A Cable Chafing

    JD2250 bought used in the mid 90's with 215 hours. Replaced the clutch last year at 2400 hrs. Otherwise never any repairs. I was at the dealership last week for filters and the mechanics were gathered around having morning coffee. They all said don't ever sell that tractor it is the last of JD's...

    source for upper radiator hose for MEP-803a

    I was lucky to acquire a set a year or so ago so I don't need them. I would just like to say how thankful I am that guys like Light in the Dark and Kloppk have the knowledge and take the initiative to help all of us out. I'm sure there are others that I have missed. The prices they are...

    MEP-803A has zero compression and lots of soot

    I have a loader tractor I can use to move my MEP'S if I have to but really they just aren't portable. The MEP831A requires a 6 man lift in the armed forces believe it or not although in a panic 2 men could move it. Lack of portability is the reason I will never get rid of my Honda EU2000

    My My neighbour has a Mahindra and he has had nothing but problems with it from power steering hydraulic leaks to differential gear issues. He totally regrets the purchase

    75902lv Master Start Switch for MEP-80x Gens. Who has one for sale?

    I thought Kurt fixed you up too. I still have the switch from above. I'm not interested in sending it to you as a spare but if you are in need my offer still stands. Shipping rates from Canada really suck though although not nearly as expensive as a switch. Just make sure the NSN matches what...

    802a Hard Start - Thoughts?

    Buy it. At that price you could part it out and get your money back even if it is a problem generator. And if it turns out it is OK with minor repairs you made a great deal.

    Wanted! Reward available.

    A tractor with forks or jacks on one side works wonders. Just tilt it way over and you can pour it in with a funnel. I agree though. Terrible design especially when deployed

    Gen set humor ? because it's so stinking cold.

    I don't have any battery problems. I was able to find a 24 V OEM battery on eBay and I leave a Noco 24V maintainer plugged in 24/7. I also have a spare 831A with 2 12V gel batteries that work well too. Both generators start immediately in cold weather The biggest problem I have is a short...

    Gen set humor ? because it's so stinking cold.

    I routinely run my 831A at my camp in northern Ontario Canada in -25 C temperatures without additives but I make sure I buy my diesel after the cold weather arrives. The suppliers automatically put all the additives in. I guess such low temperatures are so rare in Texas you have to supply them...

    mep 831a what is this?

    Kurt, is the governor controller the same as the one that you developed to replace the SLC100 controller?

    Hookin up 806a: Remove 52-12 plug?

    If the boot is similar to the one on an 803A I found fabricating an aluminum plate with the proper size hole for a conduit connector was a way more secure connection than using the boot. I was always concerned rodents would chew through the boot fabric.

    MEP-803A Pegs fuel gage all the way down past empty.

    The spacer is to prevent the float from binding on the step as it goes up and down with the fuel level
