Hello guys, A little while ago there was a thread talking about errors found in the generator TM's and we had discussed potentially creating Sticky's for these Errors. I came across another error recently and it mad me remember that thread and wonder what happened to it. In this instance I was...

I have an NOS ( new, not rebuilt ) still mounted on the shipping skid. White DD298ER for a 30K MEP-005 generator. Engine is complete including IP, speed sensor etc. Pictures coming soon. Asking $2500 OBO.

Hello folks, I wanted to ask the Deuce community for a little input regarding spin on filter bases that I make for the MEP-002 thru 005 generators. A fellow S.S member asked if I had checked to see if the same canister base ( which my adapters replace ) are used on any other military equipment...

Its been quite a while so I thought I should renew the classified for my spin on fuel filter adapters, referenced here: https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/mep-002a-003a-004a-005a-drop-in-spin-on-fuel-filter-adapter.201506/ And also to mention that I make spin on oil filter adapters for the...

I just wanted to take a second to wish all the fantastic SS members here on the best on line military equipment forum, a very Merry Christmas, be safe and enjoy the Holidays! Keep the lights on! (y)

Hi guys, as many have probably noticed there seems to be an increasing number of threads with people dealing with stuck metering pumps and stuck fuel racks on their 802's and 803's This seems to be a more frequent problem, now that virtually all available fuel sources have been low sulfur only...

Recently I've been seeing increasing numbers of failures with the Ambac M-50 Injection pump plunger guides. This is attributed to the lower quality LSD fuel available over the last few years. The reason for this post is to alert 002 / 003 owners to a slightly different failure mode on these...

Well, I have an interesting story for you folks! Today I took in a newly acquired 802 that belongs to a friend, in an attempt to try to give him a hand. He said it runs and makes power but won't rev up to 1800 RPM. He dropped it off this morning, and of course, with about 1,000,000 other things...

Hello folks, I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with a burnt R1 resistor on the A4 bridge rectifier board in an 002 / 003? I recently picked up another nice 002 from a nearby estate auction, on a tip from another SS member. The owner told me he acquired it while stationed at Ft...

Hello Everyone, About a year or more ago I began machining a true drop-in fuel filter base to convert the Mep-002 through Mep-005 generators from canister to spin on filters. Since then I have tried several times to locate my own post using the Google search function and have found that due to...

Hello, I'm working on an 806A for someone and the coolant temp sender in the corner of the head is broken. ( somehow the wire and center pin have come out of the casing and were dangling behind the head ) Looked in the TM and it gives a PN of: Beede 127341 , 5905-01-376-0985 , 88-21742...

Hey guys, I'm working on an 806A for a guy and the temp gage sender in the back corner of the head is broken ( physically broken! ) Looked in the TM and on line and it looks like I need: Beede 127341 , 5905-01-376-0985 , 88-21742 After a little internet searching I really did not come up with...

Hello Guys, I was wondering if anyone out there has repurposed an LPW2 from an 802A for a 12V application and if so, what did you use for a starter? My 11 year old son took one of my spare motors and swapped it into his JD 425 tractor, because it was there..... I guess.... Due to a lack of room...

Last week I mentioned developing an easy to use spin-on fuel filter adapter for use rather than the the WIX 24470 Here is a look at the first production parts off the CNC machine and mounted on my 002A for your viewing pleasure. These adapters drop right in place of the original Fram canister...

Hello everyone, I'm looking for a resident or someone in the Gerald Missouri area who would be interested in helping me recover an Mep-003A generator that needs to be shipped to RI? I just need someone to pick it up in Gerald and I will coordinate getting it shipped from your location to me...

Hello guys, looking for a little info on the Yanmar L70 in an MEP-016D. I have a customer with 2 of them, both around 150 hours. He lives off-grid and these are his sole power source. One of them cooked it's regulator so last week I did an sx460 replacement along with some other upgrades. This...

Thought I would try posting here... I'm trying to get in touch with a guy named Chad from MA. He owns an M35A2 I believe, as well as 2 MEP-701's ( currently in my shop ) So I was hoping maybe he checks this forum occasionally. I was repairing his generators for him and unfortunately I have...

Hello everyone, I've rebuilt a few more Mep-002a / 003a injection pumps over the last few weeks and pulled out a bit of hair trying to figure out a problem on one! So I thought I would share a couple new things I have learned. #1 when reviving a machine that has been sitting and has a stuck...

So about a year ago I had acquired a M1061 radio trailer with 2 beautiful MEP-003AASK's, one with 3 hours, the other with 6. One of which I did a nice restoration on, which I had posted pictures of. ( all it really needed was paint work and the typical fuel system work from sitting since 1989 )...

Hello guys, I'm working on a couple 701's for someone and I've got a question on the fuel metering pump which I can not seem to find an answer to in any of the TM's The machine's speed control / governor is working exactly opposite of how it should, such that moving the fuel lever to the left...
