    WWII Backpack Generator

    I do have the muffler. Let me know if you want it. I can post a pic after the weekend if you'd like.

    WWII Backpack Generator

    I may have a muffler. I parted a unit out to someone who needed an engine a few years ago. I still have the gen end, frame and some other misc parts. I'll do some digging down at my shop this week, and see what I have. That's the Jacobsen engine, right?

    mep-003a teardown and refurb

    Lookin' Good!! I have always liked tearing down the Onan engines. I have done some JB's, JC's, a JA, and more C series than I care to remember (including a Cotton wound CW). To me, they are just plain fun teardowns. I have always thought it would be cool to setup a Onan generator trailer for...

    How hard should it be to start my 003A when outside temp. is below 40 degrees?

    Below 40 I hold My 002a on glow for about a minute. Above 40 I hold glow for 30 sec. Even in 80 degrees, mine needs some preheat. The TM says it will and Onan DJ series always needs some heat. If you aren't used to them, they all seem hard to start.

    Why the 120/240 split issue?

    There is no neutral in stock form... therefore, you can't get 120 from the neutral. You have two wires from the genny, when you need three. The Mods that you are reading about allow you to get the third connection that you need to get the neutral. The neutral in your box is the neutral for the...

    m116 A2 trailer

    The gentleman I bought my m116a2 from used a 4x8 sheet of pink foam insulation with the edges rounded. I didn't take this piece due to the size of it vs the size of my shortbox f-150.

    Picked up The MEP-002 last weekend

    Yeah, Pin and sleeve can be expensive, though I have a set that was scrapped from work sitting around somewhere... We bought this house a year ago, and It has a ITE pushmatic box that has many many issues. I am having it changed out this fall, and when I do, a 200A transfer switch is going in.

    Picked up The MEP-002 last weekend

    Just figured I would say hello, though i have been a lurker here for some time. I just picked up an MEP-002 this past weekend, and am looking forward to putting it to work. The unit is on a M116A2 trailer and should make a good backup unit for the house as well as a good portable/3phase source...

    Uses for 400hz generator?

    Given that there are those of us who follow GL auctions, It can be possible to find 400hz transformers. Take one of these, Order some bridge Rectifiers online, and you can charge a BIG battery bank. Also, in industry, VFD's can be used to adjust input, you just have to know about the various...

    Mack engine advice, swaps?

    +1. Try getting her started. Might be loud and obnoxious as is. If not, a Detroit fits the bill nicely. The only gassers I would even think about would be old truck engines. Most of them had low redlines and were pretty underpowered.

    ATF red dye?

    And would you call if the truck had AG plates? Just curious, because that's how it went down for us. We can't have the AG plate because The truck is used to pickup materials (We have to go to Buffalo for packaging) from over the specified limit for an ag plate, so it is registered special...

    ATF red dye?

    I have filled up the farm truck at the off road pump several times. You then get the receipt, and it goes into the file cabinet at home, and at the end of the year, you fill out the paperwork on it and keep the receipt (like all other farm exemptions in NY) for if (when) you get audited. For all...

    Is this military???? 2.5kw

    First time post on SS... a longtime lurker and Smokstak Member though. New to me MEP caused me to join... Picking it up north of Lansing, actually. The Briggs appears to be some type of 2" bore Briggs- based on the Model WM, perhaps an "N", "5" or "6". The fuel tank is an early style tank...
