Hello everyone, I have most always tried to resolve my issues. This one has me over a barrel. I am replacing a 003a CVT1 and CT1 transformers. Tried to do this with them inside the output control box. That did not work as the wiring isn't long enough to do this. Ended up pulling everything...

Kurt, Had some time today so I tackled your new regulator for my 803. Install was fairly simple. Just have one issue-when I start the unit, the power comes up ok, then when I release the start switch, the power drops off to zero. Being you have the experience with this, maybe you could point me...

I have a couple of other threads documenting getting two 002's going that I purchased in a private sale. From rotating diodes to starter/flywheel replacement, and general cleanup, it has been a challenge. After diagnosing low compression on one cylinder (325 vs 465 psi), I pulled the head. This...

I picked up 2 002a's in a private sale. Both units run, but one has starter issues. I found the flywheel ring gear and starter drive trashed. Repaired starter and replaced flywheel/ring gear combination. Now when I start the unit, the starter bangs in and out constantly until I let up on S1...

Just acquired 2 MEP 002A's private sale. One is seized (Injector was left out-parts machine). The other has a couple of bad rotating diodes. Diodes are 1N1204A and 1N1204R as far as i can tell through research here and elsewhere. Been searching and have run into out of stock, long lead time...

Has anyone had problems with the type 2 starters holding up? I have purchased several type 2 starters from the auction site. I have one with 20 to 30 starts on it and this week during the monthly exercise, it chattered and ground during the starting process. It did finally start that time, but...

Might be a dumb question, but has anyone been successful in adjusting the zero and span on the 002 or 003 frequency transducer? I have one that reads high and I would like to try recalibration. TM's are no help that I could find (both 002 and 003 manuals). David

After recently acquiring a 003a with two rusted off/stuck glow plugs I was wondering how I was going to get them out. Wasn't looking forward to drilling in the head. Tried heating and spraying with PBlaster. with no results. Was reading on The Stack about one poster having good luck removing...

Scored two 003's from CL yesterday in NJ. One complete and one missing couple of gauges and main breaker. 5 hour trip but worth it. 200 and 900 hours shown, 200 hour one was a reset. Now the fun begins.... :-D David

With 13 degrees (F) this am, I couldn't resist trying to start the 002. It sits outside under a large deck, so the cold soak is thorough. 30 seconds preheat and hit start. All I got was white smoke-preheat not long enough. 30 seconds more preheat and it took off with a clear exhaust after 10...

Today I had been running a load test breaking in the new pistons and re-installed rings on my latest 002 and noticed the q3 transistor on the AC power regulator board (5020), is very hot running at 60hz. Could not hold my finger on it for very long. Is this normal as it has a heat sink or am I...

You guys have been great for help in the past. I have a new one for you. My 002a (3rd one), has been giving me fits and then some. Fixed a4 and vr boards and tested-work great in working unit. Still have no power when running on this one, but that is for later. IP was bad and have a working...

Spent a good amount of time reading in TM12 and 34 looking for how the control cabinet screws come apart. Do the cross pins just press out or is there a secret to them. Have new control panel and would like to remove and reinstall the screws without tearing them up. Can someone point me in...

Working on sorting out electrical problems on a 002a and have a burned R11 resistor (1/2 watt, 330 ohm), on the voltage regulator. Is this an indication of Q2 also being taken out? Voltage goes high when board is installed in a working unit. Thanks David

Picked up another 002a at this month's GL sale at Ft. Meade. It is a reset unit from WVNG. Has 163 hours showing and is tagged as reset at 163 hours. Looks like it was repainted and has a new wiring bundle out of the control panel. Engine is dirty under the access covers. Wonder how much of...

Have a need for a few Ambac p50 o-rings. From what I have read, Ambac requires a minimum buy (have not contacted them yet). Anyone have a couple of them they wish to sell? Looking for the hydraulic head ones especially. Thanks, David

Noticed my 002a's are overcharging the 24 volt batteries (battery meter in high red). I have been using two 12 volt lawnmower batteries in the interim until I decide what batteries I want to use (redo base with two standard batteries or go for the special ones). The lawnmower batteries spin...

Moved from new member section: As my two new 002a's came as a light plant, they were both mounted on a M103-A3 trailer. Getting them off was fun... I won't go into detail.:smile: Did find the Army log books and they were last inspected in 1986. I am guessing that the hour meters showing...

Hello to all. New member here from Page County, VA. If all goes well, I will pick up two 002A's on Wednesday in New Castle, DE. Have read most all posts and am eager to get started. Have some experience on diesels (Dodge 5.9, and Kubotas). First with the MEP's. Regards to all, David :)
