The subject applies to any generator really... :-)

I have a MEP-006 and run small power grids for events around the PDX area...might be a useful bit of information.

I scored a MEP-006 and after hearing horror stories, my dad that was working very close by the base went and photoed/inspected the three I was interested in. Out of them, only one looked 'complete' although a suspect 5hrs total run time had me worried. It also had the red X marks all over it...

Anyone ever put one on their get set? Any come stock with? A picture attached for consideration:

Did it have oil in it while you were running it on ether? I suppose if the bore was VERY tight, running on heavy ether shots could have seized the piston in the bore (scrubbing the cylinder walls). Sorry to hear that! Pop the head off the engine?

Another thing to note Check your liquids for mixing. Those rotary pumps love to dump fuel into the lubricating oil...coolant can mix with oil...Vice Versa. We have probably competed for a gen set out of Ft. Lewis. I snagged the complete runner ~1.5 yr ago...picked it up late summer of 2010...

Hey all, I acquired a complete MEP-006 60kW gen-set from Ft Lewis about 1-2 years ago. It had about 7hrs on a fresh rebuild when I received it. Now it's up in the 400-500hr range and I have a problem. The set was powering a large shop (crane/heaters/air compressors/welders/etc.) and it...

Affirmative, 24V system here. Does the actuator easily clear the day-tank directly above? Seemed like it was a little tight there but it might just squeeze in? I will jingle that place and see what sort of prices they have. For the relay circuitry, you are just doing some stuff so that the...

Hey all, has anyone heard of this kit being offered by Oshkosh Equipment Sales, LLC? Here is an ebay listing link: Utility 60Hz to Precise 60Hz Generator Conversion Kit - eBay (item 380272082366 end time Oct-23-10 06:25:35 PDT) It appears they are selling everything you need to convert a...

I have a 1974 MEP-006A w/ (when I got it) 7 hours. 6-cylinder turbo-diesel 3500 series Allis-Chamber engine. Runs like a top!

Update: Generator is working flawlessly at the de-construction site. Running various electric motors, lighting, transformers, etc. I scored a 30kW heater and a 10kW heater (480V) so I use those as load banks periodically if the load is not enough to make the generator work a little hard. FYI...

I have a couple questions regarding a new-to-me MEP006. 1) I see the voltage selection card on the left side of the set, however I am not sure how you are supposed to 'move' this...does it slide? Do I remove all the nuts and then bolt it all back on at the next point up? I see the arrows, but...

My auction was cut loose finally at 7/28/2010 Summary: Submission of EUC 4/26/2010 EUC Sent to Battle Creek: 4/27/2010 (I beat their door down after some initial delays) EUC Approved: 7/28/2010 Customer Notified: 7/28/2010 It took time, but it was worth it :-)

Good news...unit was in-tact and untouched! Even still had the little bakelite/plastic wrench in there for tightening down the AC output lugs. I did a quick inspection before signing for it...and 4 hours later had it running and generating power. Ft. Lewis DRMO was looking pretty clean.

Hey all, I was just wondering, for my MEP-006A that is taking its sweet time with paperwork processing at Battle Creek, should I expect my personally inspected complete unit to be now missing parts? I have read that at some bases units that stick around for awhile start turning into parts...

Event 5132 (my first EUC) is still at Battle Creek...Since 4/28/2010. :-( I was hoping it wasn't going to take months to get my EUC cleared, but it's taking its time. Just waiting to get my hands on my MEP006A :-P Hope nobody has stolen parts off of it at Ft. Lewis!!

No word back yet. *yawn* I drive within a mile of my auction item every week going to visit my dad...haha! Antsy!

These quick turn-arounds on EUC's would seem to indicate that as of the past week GL is flipping them fairly quickly to Battle Creek and not letting them sit on 'the pile'. Hum. 8)

HeadWizard, how many previous EUC's have you submitted? How long did your first take (approximate year?) Glad to see it moved quickly for you!
