New update time!! Finally got the panel lights wired In. The most I might add is an 8amp fuse this will be 2 amps below the transformer limit. I thought about a relay but for such a light draw I dont think I need it. I like the locking switch from cutler hammer don’t want to give away my...

That’s the next thing on my list. I have a set of paint samples coming in to find what color it is. I’m also working on sourcing stencils for all the warnings and markings to paint in after. I’ll make sure to rivet in some stainless screen and then paint it all. For now she’s safely tucked away...

Hey everyone time to add a few more photos got some more work done on the gen set. Installed a 24volt to 12volt step down transformer. It’s rated at 200watts. This will power the 2 red led panel lights as well as a usb charging port on the front I have yet to install. The charging port will be...

Thanks!! They are great trucks. I know it was an extra cab with a 440 big block and a 4 speed. If I’m remembering correctly it was a beautiful dark cherry with a 6 inch lift. If I come across a picture I’ll definitely post it. The battery cover is HDPE. I will be doing a job at work with 12x12...

Ok ok so maybe this is going to turn into a never ending update thread. Small update. Didn’t like having the bat terminals not cover so I got some terminal cover put on. Also had a sheet of some electrical isolating material left over from a job at work. Asked the boss if I could have a sheet...

Got some more parts in for the genset. Had an issues with the fan staying on so I replaced the thermostat on both of the. The one behind the exhaust is an 85 and the one on the hood is a 110. I also found a 7.5 amp dc breaker mine was all corroded. The last few things I’m going to do is find a...

Thanks for that. It nice to be able to help others. And unfortunately I learn by seeing. I can’t read something and do it, I have to see it or experience it. I didn’t have any help putting it in. So I figured if I have to man handle it then I wanted it to be as easy as possible. And let me say...

I think this will be the last update on this thread. So today my new fluke came in which measures hz I tested it against my house voltage which showed 59.9. Got the genset dialed into 59.8-60.0hz running between 118 to 122 volts. I did find that the fault detector panel is going bad. If I...

I am!!!! I will end up adding some more 3mm sound deadening mat to the inside of it just to quiet it down some more. But all in all a great time. I’m thinking maybe a repaint but let’s see what mother nature throws us the fall. Not sure what I’m store for next week in new england. Might get...

Update time. I had a lovely package from Yanmar on Friday. I ended up getting the fan over grommets the spacer bushing for the grommet. Fan case gasket and a pull cord. The motor went in after I pulled the front part of the generator case off. Pup decided to not help and just lay there while I...

Update time: got the controller installed and routed the wires into the engine bay. Got the magnetic contactor mounted had to do it differently because I still have the old style. Hooked up tb6 and reconnected my fuel pumps and anything I can before the engine goes in. Time for a tech tip. For...

Update time: cleaned the fuel tank out was so nasty. Got new fuel lines plumbed in. Got the new inline fuel filter attached. Cleaned the whole bottom of the case out. Finally put the tank back in and hooked up. Moving on to the electrical portion got the j7 plug moved over to the side of the...

Could very well have been. I do see why they hated these things. Can’t wait to get it finished and not have to worry anymore. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Update time: spent some time today on the 831. Got the gen head mounted and tightened down. Pulled the fuel take and found an old red rag in it. Cleaned it out and cleaned out the bottom of the unit. Went to 2 parts stores looking for fuel line and they both now sell by the inch. Yeah no. So...
