I just bought an air compressor from a guy the next town over. He wants to sell this GPW. It is a couple stages too far gone to interest me, tub is bondoed all over and very rusty. Has Buick V-6, don,t think much is original except for axles. His asking price is $200, says he has a...

I just got a MEP 002a from GL, it was one of the more tired ones out of Pa last month. The recent WIKI posting on these is very usefull. Went though the usual filter stuff, tank cleaning. I was spoiled with my last year's purchase of a mep 701a, which had over 400 hrs, but started and...

I was wondering if any of you generator experts could recommend a voltage selector switch to wire into my 1031 truck. It has a 12 kw, 12 lead alternator head. It is wired for 208v, 3 phase. Schematics show it can be reconfigured to other voltage/ phases. As many of the MEPs have switches...

There seems to be a lot of problems involved with the electronic governor system. Those of you who have fully functioning 1031 generators, are they fine once sorted out? Or is the gov control system always a weak point? I have looked into installing a belt driven flyball governor (Pierce Long...

Got my 1031s last week. Bought mid august, took this long for EUC, One is complete except missing Gov Circuit On switch on dash. would like to buy one. Or at least see picture of one from back. Looked a schematic from door, know that it is S 1 and has 3 wires. The other truck was used...

Had a problem with a non-working horn on a GL purchase CUCV today. Fuse had been removed. When I put in fuse, horn stuck on. Removed horn relay. Still the horn was on. I suspected a short in harness, removed electrical tape just above horn relay. There is a diode there, in the horn relay...

I bought a M 1010 chassis that had been converted by a fire department to a brush truck. They put a lot into this, with duel wheel conversion and hd springs, ideal for a dump body I have. They seem to have had DUVAC problems, with evidence of battery meltdown and fried & cut wires. They added...

I recently got a mep 016 3 kw genset. Am slightly confused how to hook to board or transfer switch for nominal 240v 1 phase use (just to keep freezer going and fire oil heater). Do I hook L1 & l2 as hot leads, l0 as neutral and ground to ground. ? This would correspond to the way the hookup is...

Moving a un messed with 1008 that has been sitting about 3 months, have the following problems that were not there before: Turn on headlights and directional markers on dash glow, battery/volt meter pegs to left or 0, fuel gauge heads to empty.:headlights work fine. Turn on wiper and fuel gauge...

This is 1968 gas Hercules powered . Plate says overhauled by TEAD, mfg of generator says(unknown). I just got this unit from a GSA auction. Looking for basic info and TMs. Looked on this site for a while. I realize this info is in front of my nose, but I haven't found it. Besides TMs, want...

I finally got my 97 form for a truck I bought this fall. It takes several seconds for engine to shut off after turning off key. I noticed this when I first got the truck, but it seems to have gotten worse . Is the whole IP going, or is this a seperatable issue? Have had many 6.2 s, but this...

There are a lot of these Libby air cooled gen sets on auction at GL at this time. My guess is that they are deemed obsolete. Does anyone have any experiance with these. Are they reliable, exessively loud Any warnings. ?

A 1008 I got recently had a small nitrogen canister just like a co2 cartridge for a pellet gun, clipped in the fire extinguisher rack. What is it for?

Wondering about comparisons between the two battery types. The 31s seem to have more amps in load test, and I'm guessing the 6tmf's have more deep cycle capacity. I've recently got some trucks from GL . I've had 3rd hand cucv's for 10 years, but this is my first encounter with govt originals...

I am looking for sources of used CUCV part near new england. Saturn dosn't have a lot of used parts anymore and the place I used to call in Vermont seems to be gone. Right now I need a 1008 rear drive shaft, I just got one with government fork lift damage. Thanks

I have noticed fewer cucvs up in future sales. I realize the whole point of GL is to get rid of obsolete equipment. Are we getting to the bottom of the barrel? The government has been getting rid of these for a long time.

Does anyone know anything about a Long Island New York site I've driven past? It is a couple of towns south the Orient Point ferry. As I have always been rushing to make the boat back home, and it looks like private property, I have never investigated. There are several od machines viseble...
