One of the 002's I am looked at has a meter reading over 4,000 hours, so I think I will take it out of the running, that still leaves a couple under the 2500 hour mark, not counting the replaced meters. I know what you mean about the poor photo's, sometimes you get lucky based on little info...

Hey, at least by mentioning it may drive the price up and keep me from buying one, which might be good for my marriage. Ike

I don't know which side of Hooks your on, but GL just listed a handful of kitchenaid mixer's in Pineville, LA on a short auction ending next week. Ike

I think we all know to be suspicious of low hour meters on MEP generators, etc. My question is how many is too many hours to consider buying an otherwise cosmetically good MEP generator? Now I probably have enough generators so I don't really know why I am looking at them, however GL has some...

I have to partly disagree with Speddmon on the little DG5E, it has a Lombardini single cylinder engine. In general these small air cooled Lombardini engines have very good reputations (I am not sure on this specific model). The design is newer, parts are probably easier to find since you are...

Do you know where sells this type drum adapter?

Try your local electrical supply houses, I have found they tend to have a lot better price than Lowes. If that does not work try ebay, while shipping can get high on heavy wire, there are occasional deals, particularly if you don't mind stuff that may be a little gray on code acceptance due to...

See the recent message thread (I think still on the top page) about batteries for the MEP-016B the 701A is a MEP-016B in an ASK housing. The local battery shop here has the 24V batteries available and will ship. Ike

Ok, here go a few points 1, KW does not equal KW does not equal KW. The KW ratings on the import built generators you find in the big box stores and sold to residential customers is often "peak" output levels, Lets say 10KW with a surge rating maybe 10% above that (11KW) and a continuous...

I had a dry battery filled and charged at the local battery shop for $10, which was cheap enough for me to not worry about doing it all myself. As to the solargizer, you have a 24 volt system so you will want a 24 volt solar charger, trying to charge with a pair of 12 volt solar chargers is...

Ken, mine is a 4HN 24 volt , if your interested in one and they will not ship let me know, I would be glad to pick it up and take it to a pack and ship place for you. If you call them explain what it is for, aparently they ordered in a lot of these years ago for a contractor at Ft. Polk for use...

I bought one off ebay for $50 for my MEP701A/ 016B took it to the local battery shop to get filled, it turns out they had a stack of them in the back that had been there for years and would be glad to be rid of. I don't know if they ship, but try calling Battery Warehouse at 337-462-1352. Ike

The 125KW Onan is for the family business (wholesale foods), we have commercial freezers and coolers that need to be kept running in case of power outage. Last month we used just under 57000 KWh, that works out to an average 79 KW draw 24x7, this time of year most of the larger refrigeration...

On the topic of getting a runner, I have bought 3 generators, a diesel powered air compressor and a walk behind electric forklift from government surplus sales, of those each had issues some bigger than others: The fork lift works mostly ok, the onboard charger was not working when I bought it...

How big is this cabin? What are your specific electrical loads? I ask because a MEP 002/003 may be overkill if our only talking about 1 or 2 small window air conditioners a few (probalbly CF ) light bulbs, maybe a refrigerator, etc. If this is a remote cabin, then fuel economy will be a major...

On the oil cooler, check ebay for a Hayden oil cooler, I am not sure if its a match, but it is listed as Onan NOS part, looks like the drawing in the MEP 016B tech manual. If you buy one and it is a match let me know, I may need one for my MEP016B I have a fine mist of oil coming out of my...

From what I have been able to uncover the MEP 701A is a MEP-016B in the ASK housing, the 016B is the same generator end as the gasoline powered 016A and 016C just with a diesel instead of a gas engine, therefore the 3600 rpms. They also were originaly powered by a 1 cylinder Onan that is no...

Well he did not admit to getting anything, just that the offer was made to get stuf.

try OtherGenerators ==> MEP 016B Ike

You might try ebay, a few months ago there was someone selling NOS MEP-002 tanks cheap. Ike p.s. I think the guy selling them was even in your part of the state (maybe Covington)
