    Mep 803 Auxiliary fuel question

    Theoretically it will continue to run and run, because the float setting will not be satisfied to shut it down. You will need to understand fuel burn (GPH) compared to fuel quantity, to know when to check before empty.

    mep803a odd oil leak help

    This. If you had a casting flaw, like others said, it would be constant leak, and you would be visually able to find the origin. The paint would be removed in a manner pointing to the flaw.

    mep803a odd oil leak help

    It does look like a fuel leak, which is why I asked. If it was an oil leak the staining would be heavier, and typically catching more airborne debris due to thicker viscosity

    Input requested - MEP-802A/803A Radiators

    Well at the present time, the aluminum project is dead. Perhaps it may be revisited in the future, but it just wasn't meant to be at this time. I will say though that lady luck has shined a little light on my thoughts here. In the last month I have been able to secure the OEM units. They are...

    MA NIB/NOS Radiators for MEP-802A/803A 88-20093 (NSN 2930-01-367-0228)

    I've been fortunate enough to unearth a small cache of New in Box/New Old Stock radiators for the MEP-802A and MEP-803A machines. These items are rare to find, and being that the newest TQG is 13 years old (and the oldest now 33 years old!)... a time will come with every machine will have to...

    mep803a odd oil leak help

    Are you 100% certain the return lines aren't seeping or leaking? You have had the top off and inspected? This area looks wet (red)... this is why I am asking about the lines again. Red looks like it has something on the surface of the metal. The blue, to me, looks like the end of the leak...

    MEP-803A Forklift Points

    As other have said, yes no issue cross loading, as they have reinforced fork pockets from the factory for that very thing. The same reinforced pockets that are built into the skid crossways, are also able to be lifted against for lengthwise loading. I have 48" forks on my Kubota, and being that...

    mep803a odd oil leak help

    You may have a very small leak at the rear main seal, or a gasket. Remember the cooling system in these machines pulls from the generator head side, and exits above the radiator. If you have a very small seep leak, chances are it will be drawn towards the radiator with the air movement. I think...

    mep803a odd oil leak help

    This engine has been used in a lot of different equipment over the years, and they do build in differing oil drain points to accomodate. In fact, they also have a version of this engine with a case mounted mechanical fuel pump (like the old IDI Fords) thats camshaft driven. Oh, and they have...

    MEP-003A Battery Replacement

    It's been a few years since I've had an 003 in here, but I'd just say measure the tray area and consult a battery chart, and buy the most battery you can convince yourself you need :) https://www.batteryequivalents.com/bci-battery-group-size-chart.html

    MEP-003A Battery Replacement

    The batteries are sized for the machine to start everywhere from Prudhoe Bay, AK to Zimbabwe... and anywhere in between that Uncle Sam wanted to play lawn darts. More battery power is never a bad thing.

    Looking for a bit of guidance on mep-802a.

    OK so it was miswired... that tells me if 1 wire is off, there is more than likely more than one wire in the wrong position. I think you need to start double checking all of the wires on the switches and look for any that appear to be strange (the wires all flow and form to exact length and...

    Well did the original way it was wired, match what the wiring diagram shows?

    I had 11 here just a few months ago, mine are put in place for use and not shown. Bad economy equals slow sales in a normally busy time of year.

    Yeah we are at probably 2" so far, maybe another inch or so still to come? I made sure to photograph some stuff before the snow came
