I will be doing another M116A3 thread soon, documenting my converting it so a S-788 shelter can be mounted to it. I have everything already, just trying to wrap up other projects first. I also want to gut out the S-788 first.

They're not. I went through everything a while back. 100% functional. You can go back and see what I did on here. These were probably original shoes from the manufacture date, as were the others that failed. With 10,000+ hard miles, it's no big surprise they failed. Especially not knowing how...

No problem on the part number. I think somewhere back in this thread, I shared it as well. I took them off and sold them. They made to much rattle when running the generator. I can put one on there if need be but in the time I have been using this trailer and almost 10,000 miles on it, I...

Was using the trailer to move fuel to my new storage tank at the house, and since it's cooled off a bit here finally, when stopping, I noticed a nasty grinding noise since my windows were down. I knew exactly what it was. Pulled the hub off and found my brake shoes completely fallen apart, like...

Thank you. If you make a new thread for it, please come back here and post a link if you don't mind. I don't browse the site a lot but do get e-mails on my Watched threads. Appreciate the hard work!

When letting the unit cool down after the load test, I noticed that the temperature cot really cool. Thinking the thermostat is bad from sitting so long and opened up but is now stuck. It is cheap enough, so just going to replace it. Going to be draining the system again anyways before putting...

Got the radiator & coolant system flush today. Put it in and decided to do the 4 hour load test this evening. For a while, had over 7,000 watts pulling from it. This unit really runs like a top & it was well taken care of. Video for your enjoyment; https://www.youtube.com/shorts/p-ZMt8xYL6U

An S-788 would be good for this idea. Then, if you have a tractor or something, you can make it removable. S-788 has much more room without much more of a footprint.

Used some more stuff from the parted out unit to make this one better over the weekend. Replaced the fuel shut off solenoid. Adjusted the throttle limits a bit. Replaced the fuel sender. Nothing but the top was left. Sure the rest is in the tank! Tightened up the main 3/4 bolt for the...

Cool! I'd like to get one of these for a shelter to go on.

Connector came in and I got the thermostat remote all setup as it should be so that it is removable. A few more small parts are on their way. Once I get it 100%, I will probably make a video about it since there are none out there to my knowledge, showing how exactly it works and stuff...

Will go look now, thank you!!

I will try to keep an eye out for the dates for next years event. I will be there for sure. Having dates real far in advance will be great.

Alright, so... in my over thinking, I completely forgot there is a wire diagram right on the unit under to cover for the controls. o_O Anyways, in looking at it a bunch of times and scratching my head, I realized when I wrote down what wire goes where, I crossed wire colors in the thermostat...

The second one I got I knew it was going to be parts, but it was worth it. Gave me a lot of spare parts... some that are going on this machine. I got a good M116A3 w/title out of it as well. Been selling off some of the stuff from it on my eBay store to help fund other things too. My goal it to...

Got the fuel leak fixed today, along with a new air filter & the fuse mod installed. Did some other stuff like lubricated all the handles and the locking nut things for the control box. Much smoother now. Made a quick cable to hook some things up to it. Ran it for about an hour under some...

I wired to thermostat up temporarily while I'm waiting for a new set of connectors to come in. It gets power and does what it is supposed too. Burner doesn't want to start though, even when I put the remote in "HI". Looking at the wire diagram, I think it is the S3 switch that may be bad. It's...

Okay, so I had to come here to complain... I found the information I needed. The file was on a clickbait site but I managed to get the information I needed. Couldn't extract the whole TM from there.

So without the TM, I'm unsure how to wire the remote thermostat that I got today! There are 3 wires. I was going to guess they'd match the markings as they usually do... A, B, C as on the connector and wires on the unit itself. Inside the thermostat is 1, 2, 3. 1-A, 2-B, 3-C is my best guess...

Cool, I may give it a try today or tomorrow. I figured as much but wanted to know if anyone did it on these units. Will report back.
