Upgraded models being issued. Also, hours are based on the last reset / rebuild. Mine is a 2003 reset in 2012, so kinda, sorta new.....for a 14 year old generator.
Here's info on the new models : https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?146154-What-is-AMMPS-generators
If you study the historical sales on GovPlanet you can see the condition of the units by the pictures and descriptions and the money they brought at auction. Last year at this time 803s with less than 100 hours sitting on a trailer were going for around $2,500 at Letterkenny (PA). I paid...
Look for broken wires, too. My 802 had a 'bad' oil pressure gauge that I traced to broken oil pressure switch wires. I repaired them and it worked for awhile....until it broke again: my 802 vibrated quite a bit when I first bought it. I added some length to the wires the second time I...
Not in my experience and my 'experience' is limited to the Water Temp gauge. I needed a gauge and bought one that 'looked about right'. Ours are 240F and I bought a gauge with a 280F range. It worked, just not accurately. I then paid attention to details, researched the ohms on our Water...
This may work:
Datcon - Oil Pressure Gauge 0-80 PSI 24V - 101574. Available here: http://www.partdeal.com/datcon-oil-pressure-gauge-0-80-psi-24v-101574.html
Logic: I looked in TM-9-6115-642-24P on P 74/152 to find model number of sender = 16476 02504 .TRANSMITTER,PRESSUR. Search on this...
Probably need some study material......https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?148871-All-the-manuals-for-the-MEP-802-5KW-Generator-and-MEP-803-10KW-Generator
Those are the manuals you will need to trouble shoot your machine when problems pop up. Search the SS site for info on what to do...
Panama City.....Florida? If so, you are close to Albany, GA: here are recent sales at Albany for the MEP-803A.....a 60 Hz generator (very important point).... http://www.govplanet.com/jsp/s/search.ips?sort=ad%20desc&l2=USA-PA|USA-GA&md=MEP-803A+10kW|MEP-803A&sm=1&k=mep-803a&mf=1 . Lot's of...
Sam's is having a sale on an AGM battery...... https://www.samsclub.com/sams/duracell-agm-automotive-battery-group-size-78dtagm/prod3590233.ip for $105. Of course they will hit you with a core charge if you don't have a couple to return.
Has anyone had any good/bad experience with the Duracell...
I think you got lucky. I had a tough time titling 3 trailers in VA: an M1102, and two LTT-H generator trailers. Right off the bat the local office rejected my SF-97s because they did not have MY name on them. I showed the manager a notarized Bill of Sale that matched the GP SF-97+ transfer...
Daybreak has a lot of good info here..... https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?160992-MEP-802-803-Filters-and-Parts&highlight=

The NSN vendors I have asked for quotes from are all like that. The excuse they give is 'we usually deal with larger quantities'. The grease seal retainer I had a couple vendors quote last month came in at $125 and $425: for 1 unit. I plan to buy a whole second corrosion cart to get the...
Thanks to the fire extinguisher education from Daybreak I am now on the Do-Right program. 2 new out of the box (but out of date) CO2 extinguishers mounted. Weight of units were very close to the advertised shipping weight of a new one so I believe I'm good to go.
Your diode jumper goes from terminal 1 to terminal 7 and that matches my 803A's S1. I've got the Electroswitch S1 on my machine. The attached drawing shows several jumpers on this switch: 2 to 4, 4 to 6, 6 to 8. Your 2nd picture shows a jumper from terminal 4 to terminal 8 on your new...
and watch for the mounting holes: when I was searching I found some latches that looked good price wise but did not have the holes drilled in the mounting flange.
Thanks for warning but you left me wondering what the problem is with my ABCs. This site had some useful info: http://www.safety-marine.co.uk/spages/Engine-Fire-Extinguishers.htm .
