    Price for a 803A in good shape

    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...

    So I called Faria Beede today...

    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...

    So I called Faria Beede today...

    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...

    Titling was too easy.

    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...

    I think I got lucky buying a Mep803A form auction!

    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...

    Generator trailers (Fire extinguisher holder)

    Thanks to the fire extinguisher education from Daybreak I am now on the Do-Right program. 2 new out of the box (but out of date) CO2 extinguishers mounted.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.
