    M1101 Trailer Backing and Brakes Locking

    My M1101 and both LTT-HC generator trailers back up without brakes applying. Just need to ease into it. I wonder if your "Inertia Damper" shock could be defective. Part 12426 from Croft Trailer...

    What did you do to your trailer today.

    Regarding in-bed spare tire carrier: I used a bracket found on EBay. Search "Universal Trailer Spare Tire Mount fits ALL 4 5 6 8 Lug Stud Wheels Carrier RV" and am happy with results. I've changed my trailer tires to LT245/75R16 and the civilian tires fit in the bed quite well if you raise...

    MEP802A Temp guage not working and 2 wires cut

    Sorry, my 802 is located at my timber farm. If the worn wires were near the oil switch, it's a good bet that they should be connected there. Coolant gauge problems can be the gauge, the sender, the wiring connections. One of my coolant gauges had a lot of nicks in it...from operators tapping...

    MEP802A Temp guage not working and 2 wires cut

    The red and black wires to the oil pressure switch should be connected. Here's a pic of mine before I added the extra wire: this configuration was too tight and vibrated loose.

    TMs are here: https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/all-the-manuals-for-the-mep-802-5kw-generator-and-mep-803-10kw-generator.148871/ 802 and 803 are very similar machines: that link looks like it has both sets of TMs. My 802 vibrated so bad it broke the oil pressure switch wires. You may...

    MEP-802A electrical output hookup

    I found my 803 is a little large for my home backup unless I'm running my clothes dryer but I'm more worried about damaging my equipment than calculating the per Kw cost to run a generator. With my camper and 802 it costs me $1/hour in fuel to stay warm and cozy on a cold night. And that's...
