    yes one stop shopping. Just don't show up at break time. :-) No trailer backing required. Big parking lot with all sorts of 18 wheelers coming and going.

    You will be fine. OKC GL is a huge warehouse on west side of OKC. Your generators could be inside or in their lot to west of building. About halfway down the west side of the warehouse is their door, when you go inside there is a chain link fence that you will follow to the nice ladies that will...

    If you bought them at OKC, which I think is case, you have to make appointment online well in advance and be sure you include all three gens on that pickup or you will not be able to pick up any not listed. Take in paperwork as directed. They will tell you where to pull and will load you out...

    M101A2-A3. Best Overall Military Trailer Ever??

    I used 1/2" eye bolts though 1"x2" C channel near hinge to help minimize compression of channel. It's hidden by gussets so should never be in way. Picture on left is looking down with tailgate up.

    M101A2-A3. Best Overall Military Trailer Ever??

    I wish pin was 3/4" longer but it really can't slip even if not all way through both sides of square tubing. I even slotted the top so it has to be indexed to remove. When unpinning the gate just go ahead and insert it will pivot nicely as you lower tailgate.

    Here is photos of modification to allow the use of the tailgate chains to hold tailgate level.

    Hope they all run but realistically one will end up donor for other two. You did fine. Not likely any of use would wear a mid life unit the rest of the way out anyway. So those hours aren't bad and likely aren't accurate anyway.

    M101A2-A3. Best Overall Military Trailer Ever??

    Glad this one got trucked or railroaded over to RRAD so I was able to make short road trip to recover. Camo bedliner inside black underneath is nice. Missing the jack handle, I envision a large crate somewhere with the 5000 handles that were never issued. I've heard they exist but I have my...

    MEP-8xx stainless steel screw information

    Well now not so sure about riv nuts. Guyfang brought up good point. I just not going to deal with non captive nuts. I am headed down riv nut road in next few weeks. I will advise of trial and tribulations at that time. I do like the nuts that snap in place but unsure if they would fit without...

    MEP-8xx stainless steel screw information

    I recently bought an 803 great runner but I think every time a forklift drove by it the operator decided to see what kind of damage could be inflicted with forks. Anyway doesn't bother me I can straighten the panels and it let me purchase at reasonable price. However with lessons learned from...

    Delco 24si alternator install on nhc250

    Installed one on M813A1, NH250. Truck came without alternator. Stock belts worked fine, which is blessing because it would take 1/2 day to get everything loosened up to install new ones. Had to add one washer as a spacer or rear of bracket. Ordered the one listed for the for M35 multifuel...

    Anybody know what model this trailer is ? Came with a mep803

    And here I thought TQG was Tactical Quiet Generator. Both mfg. refer to it as Totally Quiet Generator. Sounds like trying to put a spin on it, put it on their trailer and it's totally quiet. :D

    MEP-803a overload circuit

    Mike thanks for looking out for us. I would not consider running a load test without having unit and distribution grounded. That is very good advise. Ground fault with no path could result in very bad day. Also had neutral bonded to ground at gen. By my calcs the 42fla at 1PF is pretty close to...
