    AMMPS 5/10/15KW Starter Source

    Starting doing some snooping around for a source on these (spurred by a Parts Wanted posting). Cummins wants almost $900 for their NSN for this item... I know for a fact that its a buy-in for them (and of course if you know how to scour the web by NSN, you can ascertain certain manufacturers...

    MEP-802/3 Radiators

    A few folks have reached out to me over the last six months, looking for replacement radiators for their gensets. These items are very rare at the surplus/auction site level that I have seen and experienced, but are pretty important to these machines long term upkeep (and use when needed)...

    Anyone around Ann Arbor, MI?

    There is a 900lb genset I am interested in, that the current owner has no ability to pick up/load. I am looking to see if anyone is in the area with the ability to get it picked up and skidded (just placed on a normal 48x40 pallet). I can take care of the freight out... just kind of need someone...

    Improvements on the 'Ultimate Well Nut' upgrade

    So being that this fitting is manufactured in brass (which contains about a third of zinc), there are long term concerns with modern fuel creating 'insoluble fuel gels or salts' due to chemical reactions. I've been looking into this, and Parker has done a nice writeup on this...

    Anyone making a haul out of PA to the Northeast?

    Need to pull a genset out of Chambersburg. ALL of the major freight carriers are performing terribly right now. Would like to see if someone coming this way wants to make a few bucks on hauling for me. Thanks

    Integrated Battery Chargers

    Just thought I would share some pictures of what I mounted up on my 802 the other day. These products serve two very distinct needs in these sets 1.) Make sure your batteries are operational when you need them 2.) Onboard backup should your alternator fail under use So the first is...
