Well it's a long story but my 802A ran out of diesel today. It didn't shut down because the floats do not work and it always thinks it has 25% fuel. I got it restarted but now for the first time ever, the electrical is cutting out on it. The lights go out, so I go outside and the diesel is...

I'd like to figure out a way to mount a spare tire on my M1101. I don't think mounting it on the tongue would be good due to the extra weight on the hitch. That leaves underneath. It looks like this would be perfect...

While I managed to get outbid on all of the recent MEP-802a that I was looking at. Most of them closed just higher than my $800 price range. I'm still curious to hear from anyone picking one up this week to see what kind of shape they were in. Add batteries, fluids, produce electricity?

I am impatiently awaiting the arrival of my new H45 heater that I bought from Uncle Sam's Surplus on Black Friday. I am planning on installing it in my woodshop and was wondering if anyone has any pictures of their heater installed permanently. Do you actually use a military tripod for the fuel...

I went to turn over my MEP-002 in cold weather for the first time and it almost started on the first crank but when I tried cranking the second time you could tell the batteries didn't have enough umph. With all the revisions and NSN number I am having a hard time telling what the difference is...

Picked up my first MEP-002A today (won't start) No return fuel This is my first military generator and I know little to nothing about them other than what I've been reading on the Wiki, hopefully I can get it running. I picked it up from Fort Meade this morning. Pickup went well, GL folks were...

I understand the whole story about the weight rating on these being limited by the tow vehicle and not the trailer itself. Therefore, I wonder, is the M1102 also limited by the HMMWV pulling it, or is the trailer now the limiting factor? I thought someone mentioned that Silver Eagle made a...

Well I just won my first military vehicle. I am pretty excited, a little less so when I realized that this was under the contract number that required all the MWOs. Can anyone tell from the photos if they have been performed. It looks like the pintle has rust on it indicating it is steel. Is the...

Hi, I'm new to the site and owning surplus vehicles, however I'm not new to driving them. I drove primarily M981 FISTV, M7 BFIST, and M1114s in the Army. I bought a 2012 F150 Ecoboost rated to tow 11,300 lbs. I own a wood pellet stove and buy 1 ton of pellets about 6 times a year, usually less...
