    Funvee dead 😕

    I think my control box died. Ran it on Friday and jumped my new Mep. Went to mone it tonight and dead , no lights - nothing. Jumped it with the Mep and still nothing. Got 28v and a good ground but not even the lights work. Looked around for a cb under the dash but it’s a little cold and dark...

    Bad luck- govplanet 802a

    I recently got a Mep -802a and without reading this post I would have passed on this gen set. Has a nice viberation , same “blow by” out the dipstick. And yes the lifting shackles make a ton of noise. Now I just need to replace the temp gauge and batts. Making a plug/harness to connect to my...

    MEP 802 w trailer. What’s it worth ?

    Thanks. That’s all great advice. I figured if it wasn’t leaking something it ran out. 🤣 I’ll be looking at it tomorrow , load test is going to be a large electric heater.

    MEP 802 w trailer. What’s it worth ?

    I could drag it home with the funvee but the F350 service truck should handle it

    MEP 802 w trailer. What’s it worth ?

    I don’t have access to the data plate on the trailer. It looks like a gen trailer

    Couldn't transfer my title from iron planet to my name in Maryland

    There are more options. Out of state tags to start then bring it in as a regular. ?? Historic plates ? I used dirt legal to get tags. It’s not a daily driver ,so just going to parades etc. so it has not been an issue yet. I’m sure some overzealous trooper will cry but WGAF

    M107 series water buffalo color scheme

    Not that it really matters what color it gets painted but …….. stratus blue tank with black frame rails and rims could look really bad ass. Since sandi egos is a navy town and I already have the ability to copy the original markings and make it easy , since I haven’t been able to locate “any”...

    M107 series water buffalo color scheme

    I recently pulled home a waterbufflow that we were using as a sign holder so I could clean it up and put a fresh coat of paint on it. After pressure washing it to prep I noticed it was originally blue 🤷🏽 and the frame rails were black ? know info it was the navy’s last. BMU-1 Beachmaster unit 1...

    303M HydraMatic rebuild

    Not to change the subject matter. The original transmission were designed to run on 30wt oil. Did you start using atf or stay with the 30wt. ?? I haven’t had that series truck for about 10 years. I really liked that truck for the auto trans. The M135 I had would cruise at 65 on flat ground...

    Loss of power. White smoke.

    Dirty air filter ? Or restricted air intake ?

    Remove Tax for Vehicles Shipped Out of State

    I don’t think you’re going to have much luck with that. After the epay lawsuit with multiple states and the on line thing. All auction sites collect sales tax , you have a better chance of getting your local gov to not charge tax.

    Parking Brake Adjustment Issues

    I kind of had the same issue with mine. The outter shoe was wasted and the inner shoe was still ok everything was out of adjustment and cable at max. I replaced the shoes and all the springs ( 1 was missing ). It took me forever to find the tm with the breakdown of all the springs and...

    Source for Shackles?

    I think those are rears. The fronts have an offset so they lay flat. Still work

    REV overheating - normal?

    The outside of the radiator is nothing compared to the inside. Corrosion that causes high temps is the inside passes clogged.

    Source for Shackles?

    Those are too different styles of shackles. The one one the left looks like pre 1960. You should post in the parts wanted. I think I have like 10 sets with pins
