I'm the chap in Texas! Lol!

Hi Keith I have some experience with cornhead grease. It is today's recommended lubricant for the universal joint area in early 1930's Ford cars. On those cars, the driveshaft and U-joints are enclosed in a housing. I was able to locate cornhead grease at my local John Deere dealership in...

Thanks for the update. That is the exact thermostat I expected from Oshkosh, but no, I got the NAPA. Good for you! Let us know how the load bank test went.

Looking forward to your report!

Mike: Thank you. Perfect! Steve

Light in the Dark: Thank you. Exactly what I need. Appreciate your response. Steve

Hi kloppk: Thank you. I did try parttarget.com, but no group number was jumping out at me. I do see some 34 numbers, but I also see 24's, 27's, 65's, etc. When I get the genset to the shop, I will measure the trays to get dimensions for a close or exact fit. I'm just trying to procure the...

Update: Arrived perfectly via Central Transport, a nearly nation-wide LTL carrier. 'Great price, great service, and I will certainly use them again.

Just wanted to post a huge thank you to Light in the Dark. He went above and beyond when I purchased an A427 load bank from him. Totally honest and straight-forward about condition, performance, and even sent me a video of the load bank working. This was a long-distance shipment (Mass to Texas)...

Here is my $.02 worth: 1.) I hired electricians to install my manual transfer switch. My transfer switch is a 200 amp, Square D, double throw in a type 3R rainproof enclosure, Catalog number DTU-224-NRB. This switch only makes/breaks the two hot feeds. It's a big switch, attached externally to...

Update: Booked today on a nationwide LTL carrier. One skid @ 350lbs., Massachusetts to Texas for $287. Four day transit time, assuming no weather SNAFU's. Not too bad!

WWII era PE-214-B, 300 Watt AC Generator. TM dated 15 May 1944. Sorry for the low resolution scan. I am unable to upload any better resolution, due to limitations on the SS Server. Pm me if you need a higher resolution copy.

Nice job on building your load bank! I certainly need one, versus using my entire house as a load bank. If you ever decide to produce and sell this type of load bank, put me on the list! Great work!

Might be interested. I just sent you an email.

Interested for the MEP-005a!

Well, I ended-up ordering my thermostat for my MEP-005a from Oshkosh Equipment Sales. I also bought the gaskets and a spare thermostat. I've purchased other parts from them in the past, and shipping times and parts are great. I know I pay a slight premium buying from OES, but they stock...
