One note on the USGI rifle mounts. There is nothing but a steel receptacle for the butt of the rifles. This bare steel can mess up a pristine butt stock. I cut out 1/4" thick pieces of rubber that fit inside the receptacles for the butt stock to rest on. This significantly helps protect the...
Joel,
Do you have a copy of the Unit / Maintenance Student Handout? If not, I've attached a copy. I'd be happy to come down and help you troubleshoot if needed.
What kind of batteries did it come with? If they are Hawkers and appear to be dead, there is a good chance they can be resurrected, but it takes a special technique.
I see it didn't take you long to find one. That looks like a very nice unit. I don't know if you are aware, but the ignition switch doesn't take a normal key. The key is more like a key blank. You can turn the switch with a screwdriver, etc. I've seen new switches at EI and also on Ebay...
Please note that the MEP002A and MEP003A put out either 3 phase power or single phase power, but not both simultaneously. You have to manually switch the output. Both are excellent generators. I have an MEP003A that has been reliable and trouble-free for close to a decade now and I have...

My M35A3 occasionally would starve for fuel and I had to clean the check valve. The check valve would be plugged with trash. After about 5 - 6 episodes, I drained the fuel tank. I pressure washed the inside of the tank removing globs of goo and trash. Afterwards, I used a garden sprayer and...
I had a FLU419 moved from Pennsylvania to Georgia a few months back. I used United States of Freight. Excellent service, very good price and fantastic driver. Even showed up days early.
