    M1078 LMTV Fix-up Thread

    I wouldn't call you a weekling. That crane is heavy and there was nothing fun about mounting it inside the canopy when it was hot outside by myself. Also glad its not just me that had the issue with the rivets interfering with the boom sliding in. Lastly do you see the hex bolt mounted on the...

    MEP-531a 1st Fire up after purchase from GOVPLANET. What to do first

    No work around. Just have to removed the fuel line, pull the two bolts holding it in and pull it out soak it and clean it to free it up. When you put it back in make sure the bar on the pump is aligned between the two slots in the fuel on/Off lever.

    First MEP-803a

    I do not think a Generlink is going to work with this Generator as this is can pull more than 10000 watts. Although the Generlink is rated at 40 amps might want to do more research. I use a Breaker interlock. Cheaper and Generlinks are not allowed by my utility

    First MEP-803a

    My 2 cents find a new primary fuel pump for a spare as the old square ones quit frequently. E8131 rock auto not a direct replacement but with some hose will work Next make sure the coolant is topped off as i see nothing in the over flow bottle. Might be a good time to flush and change it out...

    Valence's MEP-531A

    Change your fuel lines, and your rubber plugs in the bottom of the tank. easy components to get. Looks like the spark arrester off the end of the exhaust is missing, fun little units, just picked up another one today as well as a 501a.

    MEP-501/531 wheel kit

    Has anyone used a universal wheel kit or created their own transport cart for the 531/501. i want to use the 501 as my mobile charging unit and at 150 pounds i would rather not move it around with equipment just wheel up to the generator or truck that needs juice.

    Capac MI pickup

    GPS will get you there but do not expect a big sign or lights and flashing arrows. all the millitary stuff is behind the building and a fenced lot. there was 1 maybe 4x4 sign on the side of the building.

    MEP-802A compare to Miller Big Blue 500

    If you arc gouge that will be a great machine and serve you well, and for occasional power outages i wouldnt worry too much about fuel consumption. On the other hand if you don't weld much or arc Gouge the computer boards get pretty expensive on that miller machine if its just going to sit around.
