Howdy, Funny you should talk about ground rods. I just installed 14 ground rods here. Electric wire fence. 5/8 galvanized 8ft, t-post pounder to start, and then a Milwaukee jack hammer with ground rod driver bit.

Howdy, Get a battery charger. Charge each 12v battery separately to bring them back to life. Or.. Get new batteries.

Howdy, Your setup is code compliant for how they are constructed and distanced. This is actually still a standard practice for a farm with livestock. Outbuildings having there own grounding. NEC covers most standard uses, and some they have exception on the books. You would need a electrician...

Howdy, Military MEP generator reset information MEP-802/803 Filters and Parts the 2nd post has quick links to lots of stuff. Break-In oil for the low hour MEPS The TQG 10kw and smaller do not sync and run in parallel. Because of the manual adjustments, it would be out of balance. 15kw and...

Howdy, Open the control panel and review each of the relays. There are 2 types of relays The far left looking is the switch, the other 5 are standard You can remove them and put them back to ensure a connection. Check the diode panel, check the CB1 is pushed in, and check the FU1 fuse...

Howdy, The hose blue print could be printed and taken to a hose maker. He would know exactly what is needed by looking at what is written. That is there territory. :)

Howdy, YEP. Every MEP-802 and MEP-803 has had the fuel/water filter put on by king kong dry. Watch the sharp edges. Use a exact fit filter wrench, or a heavy strap wrench. And really really pull hard, and pull harder. It does actually come off.

Howdy, Connected to a house, bonding strap disconnected. In the middle of a field, bonding strap connected, and ground rod in the ground.

Howdy, The new equipment keeps getting smaller. My Essex A427 load bank is from around early 1970's

Howdy, Isn't just a bummer that you don't know what to do with all that power. :) I put up a few different videos under varying loads on some MEP-802A, MEP-803A, and MEP-1030. Acquired a Military surplus load bank

Howdy, MEP-8xx startup routine

Howdy, Of course there is a sticky at the top of the auxiliary section. sticky: Generator AUX fuel connections There is even a PDF with the 37 degree hose end information for getting a custom hose made.

Howdy, I don't know about that. I have 5 tractors that are made to work. I have no problem running any tractor powering my PTO generator. The again, the PTO generator is a 30KW and spins at 1800rpm.

Howdy, Yep, I have a friend up there in Penobscot. He is on generator as well. No quick time planned for fixes. He said lots of pines down on the lines all over. Which pin & sleeve unit did you go with?

Howdy, No military generator will start with battle short on.

Howdy, I guess you are on your way. I am right off Winchester, VA I would have blown there mind if I rolled up with Farm F Tags and drove off. Nothing they can do. :)

Howdy, I see you said it had holes poked in the tank. There might be major issues with your unit. The hole along the skid, is the fuel drain. A A3816 well nut goes there and the fitting screws into that You will find the quick link to that in the thread. Infamous well nut, or you could go with...

Howdy, It sounds like you jumped the gun way to fast and did not want to listen to what was needed to be done. I specifically asked if it was properly primed after the fuel filters were changed. You could very easily had a air pocket which would not be vacated since you had it running. It was...
