Yes the inverter box ! Ill try the switch in the opposite position tomorrow. The fan in the box is working as well. I'll see if I can find the part # for the inverter box. Something tells me it wont be cheap if it is bad :-(
Ok Got a update !!
Found pin 17 on J7 green and funky. Cleaned it and voltage went from 14V to 25.5V Still nothing ! Found the 7 1/2 amp CB blown and read open. Swapped it from unit 2 . Still nothing. Checked the NC contacts on the E stop. They were burnt and read open. So I swapped the wires...
Thank you !! I'll check that out tomorrow. I can't pull start this 1 as the rope is broke off and I'd like to see it run before I pull that all apart. The second unit seems to have a stuck governor ( As it won't budge at all threw the engine shaft? the linkage to the magnet moves freely) and the...
I'm going to replace the fuse holder in the am as the cap doesn't seem to lock like they normally do. Also going to break out the meter and ohm the DC side since it all seems dead.
Got my 2 mep-831a up from GA. Looked them over today. Started working on the nicer of the 2. It's missing the F1 fuse and k15. Took both from the other unit and tried it. But its dead as a door nail. No lights no gauges no nothing. Had it slaved for my mep-004a. Not a clue ??

Welcome to the forum !!! The trans uses 10 wt. I use 15-40 myself. The trans is part hydraulic, and mostly air actuated. Unfortunately most of the O rings in these old units get dried out, Crack or break. They can be finicky if there not set up right ! In the picture you can see the little gauge...
Yes you definitely don't want to drive it like that or you will burn up the clutches. Let's try the simple first. Go to your passanger air tank the 1 most out board. With the truck not running and all the air bled down. Remove the airline from the back of the tank and fill it with air tool oil...
