I found a 1996 1083 (A0) on Marketplace. Description from the listing as follows: 1996 Stewart & Stevenson M1083 LMTV Cargo Truck Runs & drives excellent. One of the nicest vehicles in our fleet. Low miles. Cargo Cover. Needs Batteries, as they all do. Can jump start so you can see it run...

Have a 803a that normally runs just fine. Tried to fire it up this morning due to power outage but it won’t crank. I get the high temp warning fault LED in the run position. Batteries fully charged. Cranks fine via dead crank switch. In run/aux position I hear the aux fuel pump, but in...

I picked up a 803 a few months ago in good condition with a little over 5,500 hours on it. Runs good and I load tested it last weekend and it held a 12 kW load without breaking a sweat. Fired it back up yesterday and ran it for a few minutes and then shut it down again. Temps were in the 40's...

This is a continuation of the Picked up 6 MEP-802A gensets and will be documenting making them all runners here thread. This thread is specifically about the unit where the ammeter is showing a very low reading. I know the ammeter itself is ok since I swapped it with the one in my 803 set...

I have a crack at the top of my overflow tank near where top fitting is located. What type of glue/adhesive would you guys recommend for fixing it? There are lots of choices out there, like Gorilla super glue gel, Loctite super glue plastics bonding system, Gorilla epoxy and J-B Weld plastic...

So I started a thread about 7 years ago about rebuild a number of 802s that I picked up. Life happened and I wasn't able to get back to them until very recently. I got one unit running pretty quickly during a recent power outage we had that lasted almost a week. Today I went to fire up a...

I'm toying with the idea of mounting these 2 on a M116A3 trailer as follows: The 803 would be in front mounted sideways since it is longer than the 802. The M116A3 is wider than the trailer pictured above and would not extend past the siderails even though it is longer than the 802. This...

I got 5 802As. Some are runners and some are parts. Some have working gauges that are cracked and others have intact glass but the gauge isn't working. Is there a way to remove the front glass bezel from one gauge and put it on another? Maybe heat up that black surround?

Hi guys, I have a 802A that will crank no problem using the dead crank switch, but when I crank it from the main switch, after like 1 revolution or so, it immediately fails with a low oil pressure warning. Things I have tried so far: Removed the oil pressure sending unit and verified that...

So I have been tinkering with a 003A I just picked up last week. Got the fuel tank removed and am working on getting it cleaned out. Last night I removed all the filters (they all looked brand new as if this thing had just been serviced before being put away). Picked up new oil and fuel...

So I scored an Asco series 300 200A transfer switch on CL today for $300! These units normally run about $2000. I also picked up a 200A service disconnect breaker since the Asco is not Service Entrance rated. Here are a couple of pics of the pair: http://www.cstone.net/~dk/asco300-01.JPG...

So this was one of those "condition H" deals (determined unserviceable). Hour meter shows only 742 hours, but my guess is that it is likely more like 10,742 hours being a 1991 model. Key is missing, non running. But hey, at over 10,000 lbs, worst case, I should be able to sell it for scrap...

This is my fist experience with the MEP-802A units (or any MEP units for that matter). I've been looking for an alternative to my 3600 rpm civilian screamers (Generac 8kw and 15kw LP fired sets), which I just sold. I came across an ad on CL from a guy that had 4 for sale between $400 and...

Going to go look at 4 MEP-802A gensets tomorrow morning and hopefully leave with 2 or 3 of them. I plan to use 1 or 2 as backup generators for my house. I have 400A service into 2 200A panels. I just went and put a current meter on each of the 2 hot legs in each panel and got the following...
