I hope that I do not disappoint purists. I bought a M105A2 trailer BED and made a trailer out of it, three years ago. It seems to be holding up pretty good.
A month ago I bought another M105A2 for the sole purpose of getting the bows to cover my trailer.
Here are some pics.

So I have this MEP-006A:
and I am wondering just how much single phase (120/240) I can get out of it. I understand that it is 120/208. But maybe I can adjust the voltage up a bit to 125/216 volts, so that both 125v and 240v loads would be happy?
If so, how many kW can I get out of it...
Got my MEP-006A generator to run, it runs pretty good, I think.
Still need to figure out what to do about the ether cold start system. It does not seem to do anything.
I have a homemade trailer that I made from a M105A2 bed:

I am in IL and a local base has a Deuce for sale. I am not sure if I want it, because upon a cursory look at it, it seems to have some problems.
But my question is the legality of it in IL. Do I need a Class C license? SECONDLY, assuming that I am properly licensed, is it legal to drive it off...
20 humvee doors (actually could be 21 or even 22) came from this lot

I am willing to sell all of them to one buyer for $160. It makes them pretty cheap.
They are made of plastic canvas type material. I threw away 3-4 doors that were torn...

I still need to finish electricals. The trailer tows well. It has a 5,000 lbs GVWR rating. Details and photos (really a lot of them) are on the page above.
