    Generator install & fix up thread

    Gentlemen! First, the good: got my 803 semi installed. My current setup is temporary until I get my 12’x20’ shed built, at which point I will move my generator in there. I went with @kloppk ‘s remote start and Generac board. Installation was easy and he was quick to respond when I needed...

    How do you move your generator(s)?

    I love this idea! My garden tractor doesn’t have a 3 point but I can put a Jack on it. What’s you use for the axle? I tried to send you a message but I don’t think I have enough posts yet

    MEP 803 stencils

    I am recreating the font that was used in mine. A bit painstaking and definitely overkill. Like I said earlier, I’m pretty certain the stencils used on mine came off of a Marsh stenciler (at lea at same font). It would not surprise me if someone on the forum has one just cause they’re cool...

    MEP 803 stencils

    I used a laser cutter to cut the stencils. In my research it looks as though the used a Marsh Stenciling machine to make the stencils. very cool tool. I have tracked down a font (Just search Marsh stenciling font) that looks similar but not exact. I don't know font definitions very well, but...

    MEP 803 stencils

    Hey gents, I found artwork for stencils here: https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/generator-painting-and-stenciling.193532/ I cut them out and compared them to my genset and the font is different. Could this be a case of mine being a reset?

I also want to include page numbers in TM’s, links to YouTube videos, and links to SS pages where replacing that specific parts is discussed/shown. I will do a SS...

    Getting house ready for MEP-803 (or am I dumb?)

    Wow! I would love an AMMPS but I think ill give them a few more years. Light having previously owned it certainly gave me comfort, but like chainbreaker said, its still a 30 year old machine (older than I am:ROFLMAO:). Im actually confident it would work fine for me but as youve said, there are...

    Getting house ready for MEP-803 (or am I dumb?)

    Yes I am aware! I'm in Texas so probably less important than other climates, but my alternative at the moment is a fireplace. Not ideal necessarily but was nice to have during the bad snow storm and power outage that we had a few years ago. I'm thinking a few space heaters moved around the home...

    Getting house ready for MEP-803 (or am I dumb?)

    He says he bought it from someone in PA. Ive seen people talk about someone on SS in PA that resells them. The seller sent me videos of it starting (starts great) and running a few space heaters (35% load). But youre right. Its an old unit and I cant really know the history. Can you explain what...

    Getting house ready for MEP-803 (or am I dumb?)

    Gentlemen!! Ive been a long time reader but am now a poster! I need help with 2 things: First, I would really appreciate input from you guys as to how much money this genset is worth. It was listed for $6,000 (!!!) but reduced to $5,500. I want to preface by saying I don't think its worth...
