    Moving 20 ft Conex containers

    I saw a 20 ft Conex container being delivered a few weeks back from a commercial deck over trailer and it as secured by the special locks (can't remember name of them) used on trucks, ships etc. I have this idea that I need a dove tail trailer with 8X20 deck and dovetail on the back so I can...

    PU348A/G Diesel Generator 5 KW I just got and have questions on.

    Just got the above unit primarily to use the trailer for mounting another generator on (Onan 7.5 KW Propane fired). I have searched Bing and Google for the Mod number and no luck. I asked a retired SF E8 I know who was Signal Corps and sent him pics. He told me it was a specialty unit most...

    Suggestions for mounting a MEP802a on a trailer

    Found a very nice trailer at a very good price on Craig's day before yesterday that was a new posting and yesterday I went to get it. Lucked out big time, I got there and after I paid him and hooked it up we were talking and he said he got another call from a guy in NC who said he was coming...

    Gauges for military generators

    Since I am batting 1000 on hour gages going South (MEP017 died at 299 hours) (MEP802 died at 255 hours) it would seem I am bad luck insofar as military hour meters go. On the 802 I have installed a log book that drops out when the panel cover is opened up, so far it hasn't broke haha. I...

    Auxillary fuel line for MEP802a

    Can anyone give me a good description of the auxillary fuel line for a MEP802a. I see the box where it is supposed to be but nothing there and can't find it in the -10 manual for it. Are there fittings on each end? How long is line? Is there a better fuel line available than what came on it...

    Military unit designation code on equipment, how to read

    I have a MEP802a I just got and on it is 9HQ5K2 and I was thinking 9th Div HQ Civil Affairs but this unit was made almost three years after the 9th Div was inactivated so it has to be something else with a 9????? I have been looking through the internet and can't find the website that will help...

    MEP802a Just wondering if anyone has used Amsoil ?????

    Going to Bragg to pick up a 802a on Monday with 255 hours on it. I note the Lube Order calls for 250 hour oil changes and 30/15W40 for 32°F and above. Thusly I was looking at Amsoil web site this morning and they list a synthetic heavy duty diesel lube for pre 2007 diesels 15W/40 good to -44°F...

    Article seems to suggest the MEP 802/803 line leaves a lot to be desired.

    http://greenmountaingenerators.com/army-deliver-fuel-efficient-generators-afghanistan/ Was getting ready to bid on a MEP 802 or 803 and spotted this article. Guess what I need to know is which is the most reliable from you guys that have used them the 002/003 or the 802/803s? Has anyone done...

    MEP017A innovative idea for replacement fuel tank

    Was looking around on Craigs list and a guy in Tennessee has a MEP017 for sale with a 7 gal fuel tank. It appears that he got one of the common black plastic tanks like the ones on PowerBack, Sears etc and he mounted the tank at right angles to the engine by attaching to 1" square tubing and...

    Hi Yawl from South Carolina

    Was surfing around looking for military generator information (I have a MEP017A) and was thinking of getting a MEP018 though data plate says SF10.0-MD which appears to be the same unit? Guy that has it says he has no spark so figures the magneto has gone South. Also read here about problems...
