Mangus is right, take a piece of wire and one at a time jump out (short the two terminals together) the switches and try to start it. Is it stays running then you have found your culprit. If not, move on the the next switch. Also, if you can, peek around and look at the stop solenoid plunger...

Ike, you are absolutely correct that in most cases the utilities will not connect 3 phase power to residences. However 3 phase power is available in those residential areas, they just won't hook it up. The utilities always transmit in 3 phase, just because it's easier. If you look down the...

To give the engine a quick check, if it's not too hard to get to, take off the rear panel and remove the squirrel cage cover to give you access to the fan in the back of the engine. Take a 5/8 in socket and try to turn the engine by have clockwise. It should move pretty easily. If it's full...

Hey everybody, Thought I would post an update about my second MEP-003a gen-set. Initially I thought it just needed the blower (fan) on the back of the engine , and to straighten out the control panel, and replace the hour meter and amp gauge to get it running. I was wrong, upon closer...

Great looking bounty!!!! That is kind of a cool looking bridge being built. Good luck getting them running and producing power!

The Tech Manuals for the MEP-002a are TM5-6115-584-12 TM5-6115-584-24P TM5-6115-584-34 The manuals are here on the site in the resources section under tech manuals. The ones you need are about 5 pages into the list. They are all there except for the -24P, which is the parts manual. If you...

Maybe I'm immune to it from working in the steel mills too long, but I have a 2 MEP-003a's and I don't think that they are any louder than my diesel tractor when I'm mowing the yard. I don't expect them to be as quiet as a new honda or one of the other portable gennys. but I don't think that...

It was explained to me a long time ago by a guy in the tire biz, that when they make the tires, the steel belts that run across the tread from side wall to side wall, have a certain amount of flex in them. When they run out of belting in the machine or have problems with the belting they splice...

Welcome aboard. If at all possible preview the item you want to buy, or ask one of the great members on the board here to preview it for you. Don't forget about the fees and taxes GL adds when you plan your bidding strategy. Most of all, have fun and if you win...POST PICS!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, but now I don't have the time to change out the blower wheel, for at least another week. I was stupid and bought a monster of an air compressor and picked it up on the same day. Then I turn around and buy a deuce all the way up in WI. the day after I get them home. WHAT THE H**L WAS I...

J.P. Thanks for the offer, If I decide to come get her, would there be any way we could meet up and maybe have you help me give her a good once over, before the long trip home. This is my first deuce, and there are plenty of things I won't even begin to pretend I know about it. I could fix...

I just called the BMV about mine this morning. Farm plates are priced by the empty curb weight of the truck, they will give you a weigh slip that needs to be filled out when the truck is weighed on a certified scale. Specs on the deuce state a little over 13000 lbs curb, that equates to about...

Hey grounded, do you ever get up around Wisconsin? I have a deuce up there waiting on the EUC before I can bring her home. I'd love to not have to drive her all the way back if I can get transport cheap enough. She'd be coming back to Ohio if you'd be interested.

Sorry, The picture of the quages wasn't in this post...I posted it in another thread, but the tach, just over 1000 rpm,s. Oil pressure over 50 psi, temp gauge over 150 degrees. Unless all the gauges are screwed up...it's running

It does appear to be in nice condition, and the fact that in the pictures it's running helps out a lot!!! I was leaning that way too, I'm just not sure about the restrictions for farm use...and if they'll stop me if I'm not using it as such.

Hello all, Tonight I won my first Deuce from GL. The sale was in Sparta, Wisconsin and I need to get it from there to outside of Cambridge, OH. Time frame is in about 2 weeks, I can stall for a while submitting the EUC, since they are going through so much faster now than they were, I expect...

OK, I couldn't let this thread go any longer without throwing my 2cents in the mix. I wouldn't say Timken bearings are junk. Is the quality as good as it used to be, NO, but the are far from junk, and far better than anything made in China. There are only a few things not up to snuff in a...

Sevo, They are getting much faster with processing the first time EUC's. My first one took 13 business days from the time my auction ended, and I had to submit revisions! The second one took 5 days.

First, take a magnet to the oil pan and make sure if it's aluminum or steel, it's not very often you see an aluminum pan. Use a good Teflon paste on all the threaded connections (I would also make sure the threads are clean and grease/oil free). Be careful if the pan is aluminum you don't want...

I wouldn't try to turn it by hand unless the injectors were out. 1, the compression needed to turn over a diesel would make it very hard to turn. 2, and most importantly, there is always a chance it could start on you. I would imagine with the injectors out it shouldn't turn much harder than...
