I have been working on this Mep 701a it only has 106 hours but being as old as it is it needed some things. It came dry so fluids and filters, 24v battery was dead so i converted it to 2 12v batteries and replaced the 2 prong nato plug with the current plug because the wiring was so stiff...
Hope to finally take the truck this year thought i would get this thread started so that i have constant reminders to work on the truck. already several people have reached out wanting some of my sale items, but would just be exciting to drive the truck that far. 45 Miles lol

I work on a lot of mep 531a units and it is very easy to break the fly housing cover bolts. I like to replace the rubber vibration dampeners when needed, but the one i am working on has a pre broken bolt. I tried last night with channel locks as enough is sticking out to try and spin it out...
So i couldnt help myself and bought another 1030, inoperative. I filled with fluids but did not change filters, hooked up batteries, turned the disconnect on and it fired right up. 53hrs on the dcs and matches the analog meter. several bolts missing from the housing enclosure, but inside does...
So i have been buying and selling these 531a units for a while now and rather enjoy working on them. Probably 20 units in and many more to go in the waiting area. I started on this unit 2 weeks ago. it came in with no oil plugs or dip sticks, fuel lines rotted, wire loom toast, fuel tank...

I just bought an H140 and so far have managed to sweep out the rats nest inside. This came from an Auction in Florida. 35 hours so i do not think it was used much. Only came with one large flex duct, wheel and axle assembly are missing, 90 degree elbo for exhaust is missing, and the rubber...
Has anyone used a universal wheel kit or created their own transport cart for the 531/501. i want to use the 501 as my mobile charging unit and at 150 pounds i would rather not move it around with equipment just wheel up to the generator or truck that needs juice.
I have looked in the tm section under Generators and Misc, and trailers and did not find what i was looking for.
I need TM 11-8340-250-12&p.
I bought this unit a year ago and just now decided to mess with it. Mostly did not play with it because the giant tent sections block the back door to...

Feeling pretty dumb asking this question, but i have a m1102 generator trailer that i got back in december. tire was low so i aired it up before towing home. Trailer has been sitting and so the tire lost air. i went to fill it up with air today and could not get air in. I pulled the valve...
I have a 802a that was has a tier2 reset in 2012 with 24 hours rebuild tag on the alternator, but this thing drains batteries over night. After reading here realized its a problem with the alternator draining the battery. pulled the alternator off tonight and i found 2 wires no longer...
