From what I have read, they have a bored out block with larger pistons, different control system, of course the 24 volt dc electrical system and I think a different injection system than the civilian DJ series engines, this is just speaking about the Onan engine end, as the Generator end was not...

I have seen reports of the civilian version of the same Onan engine commonly lasting upwards of 10,000 hours. Ike

I ran the generator for about 4 hours last night, powering a 12,000 btu air conditioner, light and a couple of hand held power tool in my shed, it never missed a beat, however when I did go out to check on it the frequency had crept up 3-4 hz each time, so I tuned it back down to 60 hz. Ike...

Well I picked up the MEP-701a / MEP-016B from government liquidation yesterday, it just needed oil, fuel and a new (pair of) batteries to get it running. It is making power (tested with a 1500 watt heater only so far) and it seems everything is running fairly good. Now down to the question...

I am not sure about your state, but a few years ago I was in a somewhat related situation, I bought a boat and trailer, the previous owner never officially changed the title and registration on the trailer to his name, instead just kept the previous bill of sale. Long story short I had to pay...

Well mine cleared today, of course the local pick up location is by appointment only and is already closed for the weekend. At least I already had enough weekend projects around the house to keep me active this weekend. Ike

In my case this one is for a small generator for backup power around my house, I got to see it while picking up a non EUC item on Tuesday, and as chance would have it we had a 3 hour long power outage at my house last night so even though the wait has not been that long yet, it feels a lot...

Thanks, I have one in the system now too, it was sent to Battle Creek, last monday morning. Ike

Does anyone have any idea how long Battle Creek is taking to approve follow up EUC's? thanks Ike

The permit insanity is everywhere, the town I live in requires a building permit for changing out a central air conditioner outside unit. Its only $25, and the A/C contractors handle all the paperwork, but still it seems insane for a repair/replace item. (they justify it by having some fine...

I have never bought a vehicle from GL, but have bought several bits engine driven equipment generators, air compressor, etc. picked up from 2 different locations. All had the batteries removed, and fluids (fuel, motor oil, coolant, etc.) drained. Some had the fuel/oil filters removed some have...

Sorry, no help on the inspection, but here are a couple of tips on the pickup, I have been there twice to pick up auction items over the last year or so, most recently in march. All auction pick ups must go through the commercial truck entrance, and the process can take a while, park in the big...

Speddmon, 3 phase power may be commonly available in rural areas where you live, however around here it is common to find single phase only service lines (2 wires) ran for miles from the larger 3 phase lines. I also tend to agree about 30KW being overall, 15-20KW is probably more reasonable...

Look on ebay in the business industrial section for "double throw switch" many of these are rated for use as a manual transfer switch if you don't want/need an automatic switch, often more trouble than they are worth if anything goes wrong, I bought a 400 amp outdoor (NEMA 3R) one for my...

Wrench Wench, one potential problem leaps out at me on your wiring diagram, namely is 3 phase power available from the power company at your location. In many residential / rural areas 3 phase not available, and in many areas even if it is, the power companies will not connect it to a...

Ok, first off 30KW is BIG for home use, I bought a 33KW Kohler Diesel generator for my elderly mother's house off government liquidation a few months ago (the price was right), she has a large 4,000+ SF all electric house with 3 central A/C units, well pump, electric stove/oven, etc. and does...

I think your wrong, just think of all those first time EUC people that could not bid on things for months after discovering GL due to their unprocessed EUC applications, better would be to give the option to "pre approve" EUC's. So at least people have the option to get the ball rolling on the...

I have seen them do such things for "Federal" holidays, maybe there is a base wide event going on there for that day (new base commander, scheduled security lock down drill, etc.) Who knows maybe they are moving the DRMO/GL people into a new building, I recently picked up a GL auction item...

I got an invitation also, not driving 500 miles for something like that (no point in trying to fly there, since it would hard to bring any winnings back). I have only won about 6-7 auctions, bid on maybe 2-3 times that many, total dollars spend with GL aroudn $6,000

What have I started? :roll:
