    Upgrade complete

    Strong Work, gentlemen! The look is good. As to the minor fixes that always show up, HWLongfellow suggested: "All things come round to him who will but wait." Second the query about how to logout!!

    Why the 120/240 split issue?

    Thanks, folks. Yet another informative and illustrative thread. Special thanks for the useful links and the insights re military vs commercial sets. Here come another few evenings of study, and I haven't even been able to score a genset yet.

    Generator prices

    The ante is definitely up over the past several months. My guess it's a combination of re-sellers seeing an increased market that derives from weather events this year and individuals having similar recognition who are determined to get a genset. For example, a refurbed 003 on a trailer just...

    Ft Sam removal

    Picked up a saw at Ft Sam last Monday. Two calls to the GL person for driving directions got me to his door. GL says site is on 15th St...nope. It's Engineer St. Took about a minute to sign the forms and get out the door...new league record. No pre-GL clearing as I didn't use the...

    Just make sure you have enough fuel for that puppy before the you-know-what hits the fan. Luck!

    GL Gens at Ft. Polk prices?

    There were two 003As at Polk that appeared to be refurbs; went for $2060 and $2110. One in Pineville w/980 hrs on a 116A2 went for $2170. A pair of 003A refurbs on a 103A3 went for $2900 in Huntsville...deal of the day, relatively speaking. Four refurb 002As at Gulfport went for from $1075 -...

    Can anyone help ID these 4cyl diesel motors?

    Exceedingly curious about your acquisition. Are those motors intact and complete, except for filters, etc.? Sounds like you have plans for 'em. I might be in the market for one. edit: Nope, not yet.

    Starting 3-ph motors w/003A

    Yep. That's the thread that finally led me to think an 003 could haul the freight. I never cease to be amazed at the caliber and volume of info here and in the deuce forum. Hats off!

    Starting 3-ph motors w/003A

    Having read many of the extremely informative genset threads, I think that I might be able to start/run all of my 3-ph machinery using a 003A. Items of concern are: 1-~1923 GE squirrell-cage 5hp 220V/???a induction motor [12" jointer] ; 2-~1974 Reuland 7.5 hp 208/220/410V//21.2/20/10a motor...

    GL Gens at Ft. Polk prices?

    Negative! The $1600 clearly was a good price, and, your delivery option made it even more attractive. The dry ice, which took some finding during Isaac, did away with the immediate need, so I did not have to call you. Glad you had a buyer. Re the three girls, been there; still have the...

    GL Gens at Ft. Polk prices?

    Your prices are good; was going to call you for the 002A, but found the dry ice wholesaler! I'm curious about your comment about junk buys. Several folks have said they have been burned, but the majority appear to have made out ok. What would you estimate your 'junk' percentage to be?

    GL Gens at Ft. Polk prices?

    The Ft Polk 003As that I was watching went for $1490, $1925, and $1630, There is someone in MS re-selling who posts that he will have 003s this coming week. Suspect he might be the one. He sold an 002 recently for $1600, and has 2-30 kw sets advertised. Folks are still thinking hurricane.

    MEP-003 10kw diesel genset

    Might try taking it to a radiator shop. That'd save a mess at home/shop; likely well worth the cost.

    If you have an M105A2 with an undamaged valve ...

    Continuning the revival of this thread :arrow: All valves pictured in this thread differ from the Canada-made valve on my '87 Kasel M105A2. Comparing the photo below with the earlier ones, the bolt pattern mirrors the others, the plug in the base is aft of the wasp excluder, and it has a...

    Deuce Springer Seat Re-work

    Slick job! What thickness plywood did you use for replacement, or is the finished photo the flip side? bill

    To bid or to buy, that is the genset question.

    Roger the fuel i$$ue! Just did a back of the enevlope re a 15kw at ~.66 gal/hr for 4 days and change. Works out to about a 600-mile drive in the deuce; $260-270.

    Outstanding thread. I actually understood most of it! Seems to be reference material to me.
