    Mep 002, Mep003 vs civ genset?

    OK. Here's the drop axle installed. Now she's level! FYI - I've got spare pair of lawn tractor tires for $40 plus shipping if anyone's interested.

    Mep 002, Mep003 vs civ genset?

    Thx! I did find it in my electronic copy on page 3-5 (Change 6) in table 3-2 which translates into page 68 of the pdf doc. FYI - The TM 5-6115-584-12 that I'm referencing came from this site and is dated July 1977 t~

    Mep 002, Mep003 vs civ genset?

    Update. Let her warm-up for 20 minutes in around 83 degree ambient temp in the late afternoon sun. Oil gauge initially read about 45 psi and then settled down to just under 40 psi with engine RPM keeping here making 60 hz. I was trying to find the operating oil pressure in the TM but couldn't...

    Mep 002, Mep003 vs civ genset?

    I knew you'd say that Speddmon. Yeah, I ended up having to change the front end to casters as it did not steer very well with the original fixed wheels. The casters I found were then taller than the already mounted rear axles. I'll be welding a tube underneath the dolly frame as a drop axle...

    Mep 002, Mep003 vs civ genset?

    I'm workin' on it SM. Right now, I'm welding up a dolly that the genset sits on so that I can tow the unit out of my polebarn when needed. I'm waiting on a couple lawn casters from a zero turn mower so I'll have some steering. I'll post pics of the project. Yep, Matt loaded me up and...

    Mep 002, Mep003 vs civ genset?

    Just as an FYI. When I picked up my two 002 gensets in Chambersburg recently, I asked the guy loading my sets on what I can expect as far as if/will these sets work. He replied that someone who has been regularly purchasing and picking up 002s at Chambersburg mentioned to him that 9 out of 10...

    Mep 002, Mep003 vs civ genset?

    NNA, What experience did you have with your PG1 unit? I have a desert tan 002 with 3 hours on it that came out of chambersburg. Not sure if if was rebuilt at the depot... would the gauge be changed upon rebuilding? There's no indication on the paint that the unit was disassemble...
