    new to site and new to me m1101 trailer ??'s

    Howdy, I would plan ahead with as much information as possible. Your a long way from home. You do not know the actual shape of the bearings and grease. The pintle eye on the trailer really cannot be reversed. (it can but it causes other problems, no surge brakes) The M1101 trailers sit high...

    Generator power up procedure

    Howdy, There are lots of ways to make the connection. The most important is that some disconnect is there. A transfer switch needs to be the size of your service. They kinda get pricey being you need 200amp transfer switch with 200amp service. A interlock work with your current service...

    Howdy, Just a note. The M1101 trailers are all aluminum, bring zip ties if your doing other lights. I see you have a 12v civi to 24v mil connector. Just be prepared when things do not work and you do not have all your tools and stuff. wires might be clipped, bulbs out etc... Since you are...

    Can I ask a question about an auction that ended earlier this evening

    Howdy, I was wondering the same thing. Wow, 35 802 units up at auction. Then I saw all the reserve statements, and bids with reserve not met. Some of the units would not qualify for a bid higher than $500. It seems like it was only the Letterkenny units too.

    Which Diesel Generator Would You Recommend or NOT Recommend?????

    Howdy, I have taken my 2007 Fermont MEP-803A to around 16.5kw load. It just kept chugging along. I would throw some spikes at it, and it would really bellow some smoke, but would keep running. I did this under 120/240 single phase with a surplus load bank. The forum post is at Acquired a...

    MEP 120V Output, Balanced vs. Unbalanced

    Howdy, I would suggest you purchase a ground rod, and drive it into the ground where you will have the generator sitting when you want to use it. Yes, your generator will then be a separately derived system and needs to be grounded. Then run your extension cords to where you need.

    MEP-003A hook up question

    Howdy, I would suggest getting a electrician out to your place. Your configuration sounds like mine, and I do not think you could explain enough here to have anywhere as a complete correct answer (internet answers are iffy) Grounding is important for you and equipment. note: due to...

    MEP-803A Exhaust manifold temps

    Howdy, Looking for some confirmation about what should the exhaust manifold temps be? MEP-803A, the inner 2 ports are obviously higher than the outer ports. What is your sustained temp? In example, running at least 30 minutes with a load of 50% or greater, what temp do you have for the...

    MEP-802/803 fuel return improvements
