    Darley P-100 Water Pump - Corrosion

    I bought this water pump in unknown condition. When I finally received it, I found it was seized up. There was a lot of corrosion on the impeller that was visible by removing the cap from the inlet port. I'm guessing it was used with salt water and put away wet. The tag on the pump is hard...

    MEP-803 panel dead after replacing batteries

    A month ago, I noticed that the 803 at my in-law's ranch was slow to turn over when the air temp was below freezing. The batteries were 6 years old, so I decided to replace them next visit. Later that day after temps warmed up a bit, the gen started and ran fine for about an hour. Today, I...

    MEP-802a - Intermittent NO FUEL fault

    My folks have been running on a Mep-802a since yesterday morning. Edit: Power has been restored. Storms rolled through and knocked down over 100 poles in the area. Heavy straight line winds and several inches of rain made quite a mess. Things have been running fairly decent. My teenage son...

    Jerry can fuel pickup adapter and hose for Wavian / NATO cans

    Hello, I recently found a place that was selling auxiliary fuel kits for NATO style fuel cans. The kits come with a hose, adapter-lid and pickup tube with a screen. Here's the adapter-lid. It has a small vent hole that is open to the atmosphere, so I'm not sure how this would do in a moist...

    Trailer mounting of 802/803 vs. 002/003

    My nephew and I built a trailer to haul my 802 and/or 803 generators. We drilled 3 sets of 4 holes in the trailer's frame rails to match up with the skid base such that we can haul either a single generator inline or a pair of generators sideways. Now, I'd like to use it to retrieve an 002...

    Adding a 240V 30A outlet to an 802A

    For the past several months I've been on the lookout for some extra outlets that could be added to a MEP-802A or MEP-803A easily and seamlessly. Recently, I came across a watertight L14-30 twist lock receptacle (Hubbell HBL2710SW) that was a close match to the cover above the right rear tie-down...

    MEP-831A - battery tray & tie down

    I recently picked up an 831 that is missing the battery and some related items. I've read about guys using a pair of commonly available motorcycle batteries in series instead of the stock 24v battery. I'm curious if anyone has had luck sourcing or improvising the battery tray and tie down bracket.

    Lockbourne, OH to Sioux Falls, SD

    I recently won a pallet of 20 slide hammers in Lockbourne, OH. These are the kind used to drive grounding rods. I'm looking for someone to pick them up and help get them to Sioux Falls, SD (or at least part way here: MN, IA, NE, etc.) I was originally intending to recover these myself, but...

    MEP-803a coolant recovery tank

    I recently recovered an MEP-803a, and it seems to be in pretty decent shape. It needed filters, fluids, and batteries, which were easy enough to find. Unfortunately, it's also missing the cap for the coolant recovery tank. Does anyone have a source for a replacement cap?
