If you have any decent junkyards left near you, or are lucky with Facebook Marketplace you might be able to find a good deal on a Tilt Column which will also have momentary wipers.
Has anyone come up with a standalone outlet panel/ power distribution panel with 120V/240V outlets and respective circuit breakers to wire directly to the output lugs on the MEP generators? We use our MEP-831A on camping trips and I was thinking about setting one up to make the unit more...
This has been a long debated topic, but I was always taught not to float synchronized transmissions which has been reinforced by every transmission rebuilder I've talked to. Sure you might save some clutch wear, but at the cost of premature syncro wear. Clutches are cheaper than transmissions...
If you are just trying to see what the RPM is for testing purposes, you can use a regular M-series Tach like on your M818 or M35A2. The tach drive and cable should match up
I've seen a Miller Big 40 mounted on an M200A1 before. Looked like they either used existing holes in the trailer or drilled new ones. I guess it depends what size generator you are trying to mount
Apparently the -208 is the Army version and the -012 is the USAF version. Similar units but still some internal differences as well as the -208 being skid mounged and the -012 trailer mounted. If anyone has access to -012 manuals that woukd be extremely helpful.

I checked the site section for the MEP-012A manuals already, but I may have missed them. All of the -208 manuals appear to be there. Still not quite sure the differences yet.
Thank you for the LO. I just looked up the MEP-208A and quickly glanced over the specs and they appear similar. I'll have to compare it to my units when I get back to the shop. I'm not sure what the differences are, or if its simply a redesignated MEP-012A? I do see the manuals for the MEP-208A...
Does anyone have any info or manuals for the MEP-012A 750KW Generator? These were largely used by the USAF and powered by a V12 Cummins 1710 CI. The only info I have found is a training video on youtube. Thanks
