Well generator is back in position. This Friday and Saturday are again two days of extreme fire threat with winds again in the 50-60 range and low humidity. When this threat is over then I have tornado season to deal with. Perfect

This is what I have. Bought it on govplanet three years ago. It was brand new and never used. Military paid $2979 for it. I got it for $150 It’s Diesel and I have ran it for about 30 minutes, using water so as not to ruin pump, then put it in storage. I keep meaning to get fittings and...

I watched a few stories on the LA fires where the preparation of a few home owners saved their homes. They all had pools, water pumps rigged with fire hose and generators. They pumped from the pools and ran them dry but saved their homes. Generators saved the food and kept the lights on...

I will admit that the MEP-002A is VERY loud. But when trailer is strategically placed behind shed, makes the world of difference. Forgot to mention I also removed, cleaned and sealed the engine oil drain valve. It had been slightly leaking ever since I’ve owned it.

I did rig up a spray trailer using a IBC tote and pressure washer. Will use this for the embers since it wouldn’t work for heavy flames. I was going to use my M149A2 but I haven’t gotten around to mounting the pump. I did move my all my other generators out of harms way.

Discretion is the better part of valor I will fight fires to a point because I’ve personally seen raging forest and grass fires both in New Mexico and Oklahoma. When and hopefully IF the fire wall hits here with 50+ mph winds, we will be be somewhere else. Not worth dying or getting scarred...

Well it might be needed again sooner than than later. Fires are still ongoing and another fire missed us by 1/2 mile yesterday, Monday, 17th Only the Super Scooper Fire Attack Aircraft, two were used, snuffed down the eastern line advance. They were banking hard right directly over my ranch...

Oil and filter changed. Fuel filters changed Fuel screens and strainers checked. They looked great. Air filter checked. Entire generator given a hard visual inspection. (1 panel bulb gave out) Fuel tank topped off with 2cycle oil and seafoam added. Two scepter fuel cans topped off with...

The MEP-002A was called into duty during and after a Historic wind and wildfire breakout in Oklahoma a few days ago. Towns evacuated, Hundreds of homes burned, tens of thousands of acres burned and thousands without power. Over 150 wildfires. (Edit: 4 killed ---I found out this morning watching...

Once you get the bugs, gremlins and past hacks worked out, the CUCV 6.2L is very reliable.

Would you show or post the part number and seller in case anyone is interested in buying one? Thanks

Someone had been watching too many reruns of Fall Guy. Looks good!!

Yes Be honest and upfront with any deficiencies on the vehicle. I’m sure you will,……..but others do not. When you’re actually ready to sell, list in the classifieds.

I use the Wix filters. Off the shelf ones are identical to the government surplus. The surplus filters I’ve bought are also Wix. I know multiple manufacturers, including Fram, made these for the Army. Just luck of the draw. I have my MEP-002A in position and ready for the upcoming winter...

Toolslinger, thank you for a nicely written post. Easily readable using paragraphs. So many times, the long posts others post are in brick format and very difficult to read. Nicely done

Heat, hammer and Liquid Wrench penetrating oil. Lots of patience helps also.

It is Amazon has it Most parts stores carry it.

Edited to make above post readable.

Use the money savings to buy a good set of hearing protection. You’ll need it!! These sets are REALLY loud.

Took adjustable jack off a M101A2 I have and installed it on my MEP-002A generator trailer that had a standard leg jack. I didn’t want to weld on the M116A2 generator trailer and simply swapped jacks. Now I will weld on a crank jack mount on the cargo trailer and not worry about frying any...
