Would love to know your secret - I have tried several times to get my M1009 (1985) titled in VA. I went the VT route and have plates and registration so I can drive but have had no luck finding a way to get a title - what is your secret? My local DMV and Richmond practically accused me of...

Sweet!!!! Someday...Someday!

Hi Joe, I have not made any progress - I have cover - need staves and screw/tabs for attaching cover to rails. If I can help in terms of coming in on a deal for parts - deal me in. I have been lurking on EBay, SS, other sites looking like yourself for last year with no luck.

WoW - Great idea - have bid on these in past - no luck yet but will keep trying as your project looks like a super mod. From the unaltered "baseline" how significant is the noise supression with mod? Thanks for posting lots of pics - Really Neat!!

Thanks! Hi Jim, Got basic parts from Saturn - thanks though for calling them out as they are first stop and I should have mentioned in post. Will call them again on Monday on off chance they have some unadertised "goodies" in back that will help. Cheers! Ed

Hi folks, Looking for some help. After a month of clean up and repairs I finally got the engine of my MEP 017A to run - and it runs well - Hooray! Now the challenge... The existing wiring harnesses from the engine to the control panel, and from the control panel to the generator have...

Genset pricing - MEP-017A Hi Ike, A few datapoints for the MEP-017A Restorable - $100-$200 - Looks like it might still be made to run - like my current project :) Working - Needs few things fixed and cosmetics - $500-$700 Running well - minor cosmetics only $800-$1100 Good post as I...

re. rebuild Am interested in your progress - have same issue and am looking for a "reasonably priced" replacement so that I can pull existing unit - rebuild and have spare "on shelf" for my M1008/M1009. Keep us posted - I will do same if I have a breakthrough before you do. My M1009 is in...

Many thanks! Super thread - answers multiple questions I had for my civilian 15K Generic genset and my MEP017A. Looks like I can mod both and have options aplenty for fuel - should these be needed. Many thanks to all for great dope - and follow-on threads contained in this discussion! Ed

CUCV Brakes Hi Allenhillview, I am a relative newbie in the sport. I read the TM's, checked posts here and looked off SS site on net for dope. First and foremost make sure all hardware in good shape - waste of fluids if pads, calipers, lines etc. are not in good working order. If...

PM on Fleet Replaced airfilters, fuel filters, and oil filters on my M1008 and M1009. Added Seafoam "boost" to fuel in tanks. Ordered new hoses and belts for my M1009 - next weeks project. Ordered new glow plugs for the M1009. Will place order for new tires in next week or so. Bled and...

Hi folks, I am looking for a source for a 24V battery for my MEP-017A. I am running it with two std 12 v batteries now but would like to get battery that will fit in cage within frame of the genset. The best I have been able to do so far is a tractor supply place in the midwest that wants to...

Many thanks again for post - I have casually looked at harbor freight and northern tool for solutions. The idea I like so far is the PTO trailer (except for the price @ $650). I might scan Craigslist for a used one and go this route as I don't want to modify base unit (or do so as little as...

Many thanks for pics - starting to get an idea as to how I would like setup to work. Like your homemade cart - tires would work well across ground on lot - was thinking of using genset to work on trailers/trucks that are parked away from house. large wheels would work well for this. Cheers, Ed

Hi folks, Have any of you found a good solution for moving a MEP-016/017/018 around with relative ease? I have seen a few pictures on Youtube of wheels "bolted" to frame and "carts" bolted to frame but wanted to see if any of you had a COTS solution I could pick up at Harbor Freight or...
