Everyone,
I decided to start offering the covers for the MEP 802A & MEP 803A generators. Will have ones for the MEP 531A / 501A soon as well.

As with all of my items right now, I sell via eBay. I purchased a small amount...
Thank you very much for this reply. Exactly what I was looking for! Had the opportunity to get one cheap & didn't want to end up with it & it not do the one thing I need it for.
I have had filters look perfect, but still restrict a lot of flow from oil residue. I couldn't tell you why... it forms a clear slime? If when you rebuilt them you didn't do the air filters, I'd really look at that from my experience.
I wouldn't want them on a pallet. Wondering if they work right on the generator fork slots themselves. Figured someone has to have tried it before I get one. My current shop setup is tight and they would be great for moving them in, around, and out of the shop where the LMHC or future larger...
Have you rebuilt your wheel valves? Biggest issue is the filters in them causing an imbalance due to being nasty. Also, kinked hoses. Balance is the key, especially with deflation. If you think this might be the issue, try just removing all your filters in the wheel valves to make sure flow is...
Sounds like you have a short. Be careful. Probably why it was sent to surplus. If that is the case, it could have cause some issues with everything else as far as controls goes. I'd start by completely disconnecting the main lines coming from the generator and go from there.
If it is shutting off at different times, the paw/spring that holds the lever is just worn out. Has nothing to do with that cable at the bottom. Replace the assembly, it's like $34-$40 and you should be fine. The vibration of the motor is causing it to let loose like you are releasing the stop...
I'm not justifying the cost, but the LTAS cab is nothing like the old retrofit kits armor kits. It actually is not bad inside, has more visibility in some sense than even the regular cab, and they all have HVAC, nice seats, so on. When they come from Oshkosh, they do well as they're balanced...
I already knew I'd like them, but driving the truck above at over 70mph down Highway 90 in south Texas & is being easier to talk than 58mph in my truck... wow! I have a basic model vs an A1, but no doubt, the fact you can roll at basically idle is so nice. Great to meet another owner that's not...
Sorry to derail a bit, but looks like you are not far from me. I'd love to see the difference first hand, as well as get together with another LMTV owner. If you are up for it, reach out. If not, not hard feelings!
Everyone,
I have been selling this for a while on my eBay store & never shared it here. I did share the video I made of it when I installed the first one on my truck with the help of @Ronmar in finding the solution. With starting a little business, I wanted to put everything together in a...
Bump. I recently updated the CTIS wheel valve rebuild kits. Added items to rebuild the valve stem at no extra cost. I finally found a reliable vendor for parts & have made a bulk order, so I should have these in stock for a good while.
Bump. For some reason, eBay was glitching with the promotional shipping rate so it's removed, but the new Ground service is significantly cheaper so costs have gone down a lot. I also got some better packaging & tweaked weights a bit. All links should be updated. If by change you find a dead...
Thank you for the final suggestions. I ended up letting it sit for a while. A friend ended up being interested & I made a trade deal, so they have it now and are going to dig in. Going to share this thread with them so they can get the details on exactly what I did better than off the top of my...
Someone put a different injection pump into the one that is different. Yanmar has different part numbers for the different injections pumps, depending on what side the fuel comes in.
