    Proper grounding for generator as a component of off grid solar / house system.

    Correct. Still ground the gen set. When powering the house, the gen set gets its ground from the house. SOOOOOOOO, what happens if the house is not being powered up? No ground. I will tell people to get a pro to hook up your house. Back feeding and such shade tree stuff can kill you. Get a pro...

    MEP-80X Blow by

    When load testing, do not try and hook a bunch of stuff to the 120 volt plugs. Rig things up to the load terminals.

    MEP803A Brass Terminal Nut

    Or the non conducting wrench that was issued with the set.

    MEP-80X Blow by

    So how many hours are on the clock? Or is that a state secret? You might want to down load all the TM's and the LO, and take a look at them. The LO, Lubrication Order, tells you when to service the set. The LO tells you that at 250 hours to change the oil. So if the set has more then 250 hours...

    Proper grounding for generator as a component of off grid solar / house system.

    If you are going to run your house on the gen set, then do not forget to remove the ground bonding link on the gen set. There are only about a million threads on this subject. You will not live long enough to read them all.

    Soldiers hated it!

    MEP-002 pump problem

    Well, you can test the rheostat, and if its in spec, then It sounds like the VR may have a problem. I would also check the terminals on the VR and look at wires to the VR.

    How to lock up / secure a M35 A3 ?

    I too had thought that if I eventually end up with a M35/M36 I would too had simply hide a heavy-duty disconnect somewhere well out of view (in the boot area underneath dashboard is a little too 'obvious' to me but mm) and leave it at that. plus just to top that off on my engine belt there'll...

    MEP-804B Governor control issue

    Well, according to the forum rules, start a "Parts Wanted" thread. Have you put the part number and NSN into your search engine?

    S89 B/G Comm Shelter for M37

    I looked at all my shelter TM's and the S-89B/G is so long gone, that there is nothing on the CD. Have you tried Radio Nerds? Or Liberated Manuals?

    Best source for MEP-804A/B parts

    That switch is in every MEP-8** gen set, so dont just confine yourself to asking people with 802, 803 and 804 sets. When you tested the bad switch, did you take it compleatly out of the gen set, before testing it?

    How to lock up / secure a M35 A3 ?

    Do not waste time and money on a locking door handle. Like M813rc wrote, its useless. If you want to keep the truck like the soldiers had it, weld the chain to the seat. 20 years in the Army, never saw it any other way.

    Mep 803

    Did the MEP-802A ever run? Did YOU ever see it run. Or are you assuming its good? And just switched it. True, they are interchangeable, but if you did not know if the 802A box was good, you may have jumped the gun. What works when you put the S1 in the start position? Will it start? Will it run...
