Welcome aboard. There is lots of good information on this site.

Amen brother. I don't like it either, but this is a great site and I will not do anything to bring unwanted attention to it or it's members. There are too many great folks on here who enjoy this hobby, I'll not be the one to screw it up for them.

The AAS is the the acronym for the sound deadening enclosure. It should actually be just "AS", but people forget that the first A is actually in the model # of the generator as in MEP-004a. The second A and the S stand for "Acoustic Suppression"

IMHO it's still $360 too much

:mrgreen: Thanks for the words of praise for us lowly tradesmen. I've often felt we were an under appreciated breed...rofl

Follow the link in my post. Basically it's unburned fuel collecting in the exhaust of diesel engines not running at a high enough load.

go to e-pay and look for a hydraulic pump. You don't need a huge motor to just pump the fluids through some filters, so buy a 1/2 or 3/4 horse motor. Get two filter bases and I'd find two hydraulic filters, the first one about 15 to 20 micron and the second right in line behind it of about 5...

I agree. Put in some civy batteries, if you're just taking them to the local auto parts store to have them tested, the testers basically only look at the amount of current being put out by the battery. I'm thinking the big 6tl's could have a shorted cell or two and still put out enough current...

COOL VIDEO!!!!!!!!!! You are really making me anxious to pick mine up!!!!!

If it's the MEP-113a, that's the 400 Hz model. Unless you're going to run some air crafts or a boatload of incandescent lighting, or purely resistive loads, I wouldn't give $40 for it. Just my 2cents

If my Sparta recovery get's pulled off in time and the truck is in road worthy condition, I may drive her over for a day to have a meet & greet with some of the great SS members who'll be there.

Great pictures. Do the accessories come with it???? Maybe I should outfit mine with my own toys after I pick it up. That's better than the gun rack in the back window of Joe Bobs pick-up.

Welcome aboard.

I may be interested in a set, as soon as I find out if my deuce has the canvas laying in the bed or not.

I had a post about this a little while ago, I managed to track down the supplier for the military and get some pricing information for the strainer. Purolator is the only company still making this item. I managed to track down their military sales office and talked to them about it. The...

Ike, I didn't say rural areas in my post, I mentioned suburban areas. But you are absolutely correct, where I live as well (very rural) they run what you're calling single phase for miles and miles as well. But you need to think of that single phase a little differently than what you do for a...

Yes, the NEC states you need a transfer switch. And that is by far the safest way to do it. However you can get by with just pulling (turning off) your main breaker in the panel, before you hook up the generator. If you have the generator tied into a sub panel, make sure you pull the main...

Bump... My EUC was sent to Battle Creek today. It looks like I'm going to drive up and get her. If there is anybody who lives along the route between Cambridge Ohio and Sparta Wisconsin, I would really appreciate it if you would make yourselves known to me, if you would like you can send me...

Wrench Wench, You are right about the farmers getting 3 phase installed and you could probably con the utility into putting 3 phase into your garage, but I doubt that you'll like the price. By conning them into it you're probably going to have to convince them you are running a business, and...

more info for ya...the oil pressure switch is located right beside the oil filter on the left. The high temp shutdown switch is located inside the louvers just under the muffler.
