    Just purchased and await delivery of M1102 with fiberglass top. Wanna make a camper.

    Maintenance info will be in the TM: https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.steelsoldiers.com/upload/trailer/TM9-2330-392-14P.pdf&sa=U&ved=0ahUKEwjst8btv7ffAhWmct8KHaJfAn0QFggFMAA&client=internal-uds-cse&cx=partner-pub-4015606617893285:1751224275&usg=AOvVaw2Au318M34ckclU6ZO9RISY Keep...

    M1101 painted and added bedlining

    Somewhere on the SS site I read that our M1101/1102 trailer hitches were Titan Model 6 actuators. If true (I have not needed to order hitch parts) other options for those of us who cannot hold fire: https://www.trailerpartsdepot.com/p-1989-inner-slide-model-6-w-2-coupler.aspx...

    M1101 painted and added bedlining

    You can drop a couple or three inches by changing wheels/tires. A search on the SS site will get you details about modifying the frames.

    Pallet jack to move MEP-803a around shop?

    A guy on this thread talks about setting his machine on a pallet and then using a pallet jack to move it around. Lot of good ideas about mounting casters, too. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?163227-Has-anyone-put-casters-on-their-802-or-803

    Off season storage

    My 803 sits outside my house and I run it every 3 months for 2 hours minimum at 80-100% load. We all know periodic exercise is important for these generators. I've got an 802 I ran hard and replaced what needed replacing last year then took it to the country. I hadn't seen it in 7 months and...

    MEP 803a 24v fuse needed F03A125V30A 5920-00-539-6920

    Understand. Your question was answered and you've ordered what you need. But I ran down the research 'rabbit hole' trying to understand the Mil to Civ data sheet and what that told us. I do that sometimes and Chris is quite helpful with this sort of thing. This probably explains why one...

    I looked at it.....just had a hard time understanding what I was looking at. Will study some more!! OK: Search document on F03A125V30A and at the bottom of column it says "*** Commercial version is ABC Series. See Data Sheet 2000 for more information." And I got no data sheet 2000....but...

    MEP 804a Startup question

    You might want to read ARMY TM 9-6115-643-10. It will answer your questions. I don't own an MEP-804A but reading the TM taught me that: You need to ground the unit. a. At temperatures below 40°F (4°C) turn MASTER SWITCH to PREHEAT for 30 seconds. b. Rotate MASTER SWITCH to START position. c...

    Jerry can fuel pickup adapter and hose for Wavian / NATO cans

    I had an opportunity to use this adapter while doing a test run today on my 803A. It worked perfectly. No leaks, perfect hose length, great fit to the Wavian fuel can.

    Mep 803a no power

    Excellent tip Light in the Dark: just checked mine and there is a dog leg / tab and a hole on the bottom of the switch position. Emndive, check visually to confirm that there is a tab in the hole below the switch arm. OEM switch should be mounted correctly with tab on the bottom.

    Mep 803a no power

    Closed circuit completes the electrical path and the idiot light comes on. Open circuit cuts the light off. On the 803 the closed position is with switch clicked up. At this point the light should come on. Cover the light when in the down position because the lens seems to pull in surrounding...

    12 volt to trailer wiring

    I think the objective is to pull a civilian trailer with a military vehicle. If so, the LED lights will take care of voltage and you only need the correct connection cable. For the military trailers I've recovered with my civilian truck I used a connector cable I bought from Erik's...
