I just pulled my 802A out of an oak woods on some Virginia property I own: it had been there untouched for a year except for a 1 hour run in November. I attach 4/C 6AWG SOOW cable to the lugs through the 'sock'. I drill a hole through a plastic disc or a ceiling light box...

May need to do some reading.......https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?155865-Manuals-for-the-MEP-831A

Light in the Dark - I think you posted a nice recharging setup awhile back, but I cannot find it. Please point us to it if it has proven itself out.

Your cable is listed here as 3 conductor - 2 ea 4 AWG and 1 ea 6 AWG: https://www.surplussales.com/Wire-Cable/cablereel.html This ampacity chart limits the 4 AWG stranded to 95 amps (assume THHN) https://www.cerrowire.com/products/resources/tables-calculators/ampacity-charts/ Set on 120 volts...

Tinstar: do you recall anyone trying this shock?? Titan shock: https://www.etrailer.com/Accessories.../T1242600.html . It's an actual trailer dampener shock, extend/collapse dimensions look good, but the bolt connections are not cushioned and are oversized when compared to the 7/16" of...

I followed Daybreak's suggestion here: https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?139648-24v-charging-thru-slave-port Has worked well for me when charging batteries. I exercise my 803A every 3 months with a 2 hour test run and haven't really needed to charge batteries between runs.

Compare to Rockauto for small orders before you buy. I bought 4 each Wix 51374 oil filters from Rockauto yesterday for $26.77 (includes VA sales tax). Same order from Fleet shows as $31.64 today. Difference is cost of shipping: RA 5.99 vs FF 13.99. I suspect the sweet spot for FleetFilter...

I did not see a grounding rod or cable. The TM shows how to and why grounding is an important safety protocol.

Agree: I took a look at factory bobtail tractor lights (https://www.pinterest.com/pin/397020523371454116 ) and most only have 2 red, 1 backup light. 4 big red tail lights would be super.

Thought I'd try and learn something this morning, but I have trouble with electrical diagrams. That said....... Guyfang has posted the electrical diagrams for this machine here: https://www.steelsoldiers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=683082&d=1496396655 On page 5/6 in the lower right...

Need a cover on that exhaust pipe before it rains. Cube or cylindrical fuel pump? Have you changed fuel filters and cleaned out the tank? I suggest you review posts 2,3,6, and 9. Then get your parts list together here...

WOW!!! They look like traffic lights!!! Will be NO excuse for rear ending your rig!!! I like 'em!! Here's the M1101 Wiring Diagram. With all the low illumination blackout lights on those trailers there are plenty of wires to make into a Backup Light circuit unless you are going to be using...

I notice small needle movements in gauges when I energize the gauge lights on my MEP803A. My fuel gauge jiggles a wee bit during running, but is getting better....I suspect a ground problem but have not been able to correct it. You might want to check you ground connections. I suggest you...

Conatus has an 803 that seemed to be starved for fuel before he wired it up to the 10Kw heater.

More info on wiring is in the trailer TM 9-2330-392-14&P Diagram 4-19.2 for the M1101/1102 series. Here's a sheet I put together to help me......

Sorta depends on your situation. I've got several generator trailers and an M1101 that I ONLY pull with an F250: I, sadly, do not own any big green trucks. I pull the military cords off and install a civilian RV 7 blade connector using the military Terminal-Type Cable Connectors. You can...
