Isn't that 'Special....'. I was looking for an easy replacement latch that would lock: everything I found was quite pricey. This is one of the vendors and they have something that may work for you. I think (fuzzy memory) that the military one is the 'small' size but you'll need to check the...

Yes. GovPlanet auction. Search on 'Raytheon S/A Trailer Chassis GovPlanet' and click the 'Sold' page and you get about a year's worth of history on these trailers. Sort by Most Recent to get prices from last few auctions. I think they were originally used for some kind of radar unit.

Similar trailers have been going for around $550 out of Letterkenny.

Daybreak shows the correct fire extinguisher here: https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?171026-Generator-Accessories . I use 5 lb ABC extinguishers that I get 'refurbished' on the big auction site. The red Ansul fits my brackets best. The tan extinguisher is an Amerex that I needed...

Nonmagnetic, probably Al. As some folks have pointed out the pipe/rain cover definitely adds some rattle harmonics to the sound of the generator....

Jack Spacer. http://www.appliedcompanies.net/images/documents/TM9_2330_392_14_P.pdf . Check page 105/342. Allows use of HMMWV Jack for trailer tire change. Here is the jack for the unarmored HMMWV: https://colemans.com/shop/military-vehicles/u-s-g-i-scissor-jack/ . The Jack Spacer fits...

A Gen trailer in good condition is worth $500 - $750: check recent auctions at GP out of Letterkenny, PA. Your GA location puts you very close to a lot of generators recently sold as skid units: no trailer. I doubt you will have trouble selling the trailer....again, if in good shape. Also...

MEP-803A reset 2012: Cover 100L20, 100AW20. Back panel:100AF20 and another unnumbered wire that appears to be tied into VR terminals 1 and 2. MEP-802A reset 2008: Cover 100L20, could not read # on companion wire. Panel 100AF20 and unnumbered as above.

When you post a reply you need to 'Go Advanced'. This opens up several options below the input screen. "Manage Attachments" allows you to hunt up and post an image. Hmmmm....which is what Guy said.

I use a 240vt electric stove when testing my machines and noticed a difference in amps being pulled on each leg. I was thinking they should be equal until I remembered the 120volt control circuit and oven light. That current was returning on the Neutral leg. I checked mine by removing the...

I own an MEP-802A - the next generation of your machine. I suspect the bonding strap is located in the same place. Check out the picture: Notice the vertical strap on the lower right corner of the lug plate: this is the bonding strap that connects ground and neutral. Your machine should...

I just converted a Corrosion Control Cart to a Fuel Cart. Testing went well and I had no leaks, so expect it to work when needed. Something like this may work well with your plan to shuttle fuel from the fuel storage shed to the generator. This one will hold ~33 gallons.

A wise woman once told me "I'm retired and it's the best job I've ever had!" I retired in 2015 and couldn't agree with her more.

Save them all to your hard drive. If you don't you will eventually need the specific information in the manual you did not save and have to hunt the collection down again...

Buy a used electric range. I paid $50 for my 'good' one to use with my 803A and found a free one to use with my 802A. The $50 range has a warming drawer that gives me 4 electric eyes, the broiler, and the warming draw to consume ~100% power provided by the generator. The free one will only...

The earth ground will be the path of least resistance for unwanted electrical surges/problems in your machine: think of a loose wire contacting the aluminum case while you are leaning against it. No earth ground and you get fried by the electrically energized case. If you have an earth ground...

A thin layer of paint can prevent electrical conductivity. I believe these units require a copper clad ground rod driven into the ground at least 8 feet. I recall reading something about desert operations requiring a deeper ground penetration due to dry loose sand being a poor electrical...

I think JIC-5 fitting is same as a 5/16 JIC: the size of the aux fuel connection on the MEP-803/802 generators. I could not find that size on surpluscenter.com.
