I don't know the head gasket part number, so I can't help with that. However, I had poured about a pint of ATF into the cylinders through the exhaust ports before heading out of state friday night. When I returned last night, I poured ina little Marvel Mystery oil, figuring the ATF had drained...

I drained at least 1 gallon from my new one last night. I vac'd water from the exhaust and would like to pull the head before I attempt to rotate it. Is it possible to reuse the head gasket? Just thinking I don't want to sink money into it until I know it's a runner. On the bright side, the...

Also, if considering one of these units from auction, check all photos very very well. I mean very very very carefully. There are sometimes units that you find look ok at first glance through the listing pics, or even look great from the exterior, but then find unphoto'd issues, like fire...

Congrats! Good to hear you got a good unit. Mine was filled with water. I drained about 1.5 gallons from the crankcase, and currently have atf soaking through each cylinder. Pretty disappointing. I spent about 2 hours going through the next lot. I took more detailed photos and notes on every...

For anyone wondering about lifting these units, now that I have one and previewed some, turns out there's a lifting eye at what looks like COG on the engine. Take the top panel off, and it looks like you can hoist to your hearts content. I noticed this when I previewed a unit today and saw a...

Yeah, same here... Very nice set up.

Also, regarding the 002 muffler, is it actually a muffler? The darn thing is so small and ineffective, I thought maybe it was for adding backpressure more than sound mitigation.

The noise has been discussed a lot, and everybody has to form their own opinion. "Noise" and sound comfort is extremely subjective. Personally, I have a background and a career in audio, so I try to protect my hearing as much as possible/reasonable. I just had it (my hearing) tested Monday, and...

I'd take your trailer down to get it. Its mostly I95 I think, so shouldn't be a hassle to bring yours down. Unless you're on LI and have bridges to deal with. I've hauled dozens of trailers right off the lot, but my max ride was 2.5 hours. For your distance, your best peace of mind is to load...

Hey, just occurred to me, have you figured out a way to unload yours? I have forks for my backhoe, but I was working up some ideas for fork-slot channels with chains and spreader bars so I can lift it with a chain. I prefer that over forks, much easier to set things down gently on my very...

I won an 802, and I can't wait to pick it up. I run an 002a for my house emergency backup power, and 5kw has been great, even with electric water heater and well pump. The drawback to the 002 for me has been the noise. My neighbors are not nearby, and I more or less live in the woods, but at...

Wow, that looks great! I can't wait to see it painted like your 003. I'm following this one, too. :)

I'll tell you... When you have it fully loaded, an adjustable leg is a lifesaver. I had (2) 1000lb generators in one of mine just for temporary storage, and needed to move the trailer to the back yard before some guests came over. It took everything I had to get it on the pintle, an adjustable...

Very nice. What are you using it for? Just curious, wondering if it would make a decent portable hunting cabin.

Also, those run flats are heavy... Yank them off and stick them on Craigslist, offload guys are always looking for them.

I dug out chunks of metal, but the nearest parts place was closed. I packed the remaining bearings with grease, cleaned and repacked the good side, and took it home slow and careful... I'll post pics once I get it apart to replace.

It definitely doesn't look like regular production, but it clearly cannibalized M116/M101 parts. It looks like someone designed it to dump. The front double-chassis that the a-tubes connect to is set at 180degress to the spring mount, which would make it the right angle for dumping without...

Awesome, thanks for the help, guys!

Thanks for the quick reply. This is an A2 with the different axle. Do you know if they're the same? Seems unlikely with the size difference.

Well, I let my main m101 sit all winter untouched, then grabbed I to head to NY for the day, and the bearing grenaded on I78. Anyone know the civilian equivalent part number for the wheel bearing? Surprisingly, I couldn't find it on SS. I'm in a Walmart lot right now, but want to run over to...
