MEP-803A, rented a forklift ($200) to get it off the trailer and in the garage. floor jacks to lift it, jack stands to hold it up. Built a 4X4 frame between the rails and bolted 2 large fixed casters at the very center balance point. Then bolted 2 1/2 inch ish smaller swivel casters at the 4...

I saw those as well, I did notice it looks like they have a Kabota engine!

Any bets on how long it takes the buyer to show up here in SS??? I say 21 days post auction. Matt

Happens to me all the time! I get busy at work and can’t watch the auctions. Grrrr!!!

I just saw this Load Bank sold on GP for super cheap. Hopefully it’s a runner for someone! Too far for me to take a chance. Take care, Matt

I saw elsewhere on here someone used relays and switches in parallel and series parallel circuit configurations to achieve many relevant KW resistance ranges. In DC electronics this is pretty straight forward. I’m not an AC electricity guy so I can’t say for sure if it’s the same math. Later,

I’m in Phoenix, do they make an Air conditioner based load bank?🥵🥵🥵😂 My toes got cold today pressure washing my truck’s floor mats.🥶🥶🥶 Stay warm my friends!!! Matt

Looks oddly familiar😁, but are they worth a darn??? later, Matt

Jim and/or GimpyRob, any word on these old load banks? Looking at a pretty clean one. This is the only post citing this particular model. 0-33 KW with variable control seems pretty ideal. Down side is the size and several states away. Thanks, Matt

I spoke too soon. Won a 3 piece ground rod set for $50. Paid, called GP, they gave me the hours and assured me that they were open the following Tuesday (this past Tuesday 12/13/2022) and gave me Marcos the lot attendant's cell number. I called Marcos, confirmed the hours, confirmed that they...

Lucky Dog!!! Were those the 2 out of Kansas last week? I was super busy at work and couldn't keep an eye on the auctions!!! If that's you, congrats! I'd have made you work a lot harder to get those! Adding insult to injury, I'm flying back to Kansas to drive my oldest boy's H3 Alpha back to...

Busy weekend with youngest son's club basketball, so not much to report. I did verify my power supply is not the problem. Disconnected the DC output to the solar controller, presto magico and it's now putting out 16.34V DC. Put 12v to the now disconnected DC feed to the solar controller...

Update: Stopped being lazy, started chasing wires. Different pin out on the AC plug. Based on the AC inputs(L, N, and GND) from the plug to the power supply . Plugged it in got nothing, but then noticed a very slight ticking noise. DC output should be somewhere in the range of 12 - 15 volts...

Does anyone have the proper wiring order for the batteries? I've got 2 yellow and 2 black sleeved wires in the battery tray. No real way to tell what is + or - and which pair goes together. Thanks in advance! Matt

Thanks, I hope jumping in a couple of batteries from work will do the trick. This unit is very different than the previously pictures units, and different from the 2 maintenance manual revisions I've found. Different motherboard (1/3 the length and no battery holder), different power supply...

I'm going to jumper in a coupe of 12v batteries from work just to test the unit. We have lots of old ones sitting around for spares and mockups. Once I prove it works I'll purchase some good ones. I wonder if one could sub in Lithium batteries in place of lead acid. Might get more amp hours...

Went through the TM, I do not have the long motherboard. This is weird. My board in the TM motherboard position is about 1/3 the length of the TM diagram Motherboard. That, and I have a separate independent solar controller down. Below the motherboard location. Do I have an upgraded version...

Okay, I'm thinking I have a modified unit. Top pic is on my unit indicating an upgrade. Middle pic is from page 8 of this thread. Clearly different motherboard area from mine with a different motherboard area and a solar charger at the bottom that is missing in the prior pic. Also, there are...

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction for the motherboard! I'll try and go through the TM as time permits. Anyone know if it will power up without the 12v batteries? Fuse is good and I have line voltage to what I assume is the power supply. Nothing inside looks disconnected and the...

Good grief! You guys rock! But seriously who sits around on Friday night working on this stuff? Oh, wait, damn, that's me on a Friday night!!! Well, I put 120V to it per the above pinout. Nothing happened, but at least nothing let the smoke out in the process. I'll find the mother board and...
