    genset loadbanks

    Might seem odd but an oven works too. I own and work on rental properties. Had an oven scheduled for delivery and thought time for a load test. Forgot to do an amprobe measurement at the time for actual current draw, but with four stovetop burners and the oven on the 803's gauge showed 75%. If...

    Wet sand blasting aka "Dustless" sandblasting goods / bads

    It worked well for me doing a pickup frame. You are correct on water getting into the sand. I found that hanging the sand container as high as possible prevented most issues. Sent from my SM-G781U using Tapatalk

    Pop tester for Onan injectors

    I spray into a clear pop or juice bottle. Most of the mist stays there, but you can still see the spray pattern. Sent from my SM-G781U using Tapatalk

    MEP-003A Battery Replacement

    I have Ford diesel pickups. I try not to go bankrupt buying different batteries for each machine on the property, so if I can get a diesel pickup battery to fit that's what's going in. I do have an 002 and it's skinny. So whenever I get that rascle fixed up it's getting the same. Sent from my...

    MEP 804A lug nut size?

    Just letting you know I live 1 hour away from Letterkenny and have picked up many items. I have even picked up items for others for a delayed pickup. I also "flat towed" several gen trailers without an issue. Those military trailers are heavy duty. Sent from my SM-G781U using Tapatalk

    MEP-803a starts, then stalls - SOLVED

    Just a question. Where do most gen people buy your parts? Also would you convert to civilian or stick with original make? Sent from my SM-G781U using Tapatalk

    M105 Value

    Back when I first got the "Green Disese," I figured if the military used Pintle / Lunette hitch devices, it was good enough for me. Now, after having a dump trailer, I'm glad I did! Sent from my SM-G781U using Tapatalk

    Resolved: Added 100amp pedestal box to MEP-803, gfci issue

    Not sure if your gfci is new but I just had to replace one in a house. Most are designed to fail open for safety. Sent from my SM-G781U using Tapatalk

    Can I jump pins on the float sensor to work around no fuel shutdown and light? MEP-802A

    804b I have a bad lower float switch. Figured to just unhook it at the connector. It runs now, but of course you will not have Aux fuel capability with this inoperable. Sent from my SM-G781U using Tapatalk

    MEP 802A Fix-up Thread

    I dont know everyones history but blue locktite works just fine. Also you can take it apart if needed. Red locktite requires either 250 or 450 degrees to release. If you dont heat it you most likely twist off the screw. Just a thought not preaching. P.S. Never seze is the greatest for taking...

    List of Trailer mounted generator accessories

    Didn't know if I should start a new thread but I will ask here first to see what people know. I have purchased several MEP units. All on trailers. From Gov Planet ( even Gov liquidators). The question is what happens to all the accessories that were on the MEP trailers when they were turned in...

    Any genset owners within 50 miles of Chambersburg depot?

    You are correct. There is a parking lot with a wall of stuff on one side and the surplus yard on the other. They wont let you in the main yard but you can look around the corner. Several times I had a Ford F250 with a pintle hook and the loader set the lunette eye right on the hook. No backing...
