I did not, but I imagine you could. I'm not sure how those load meters work, though - does it matter if the generators are different sizes? like, is that meter "tuned" to 10Kw? or does it measure the % load a different way?

Back in business. got some injectors off a member who was parting out an -003, and she cranked right up. life's good - now to wire up the house to her. more pics to follow as I get her mounted up.

the wiring harness hasn't been cut at all, and it ran beautifully for 30 minutes until I shut it down. if I can figure out if this is a fuel or a heat problem, I'll have a good runner already. though, if I can't, your idea is my next plan, though that's pretty far away now that I've heard it run.

LOL. very true, and my lips are sealed, until I meet someone else working on ex-military stuff. And I'm not going anywhere - I have a no start condition now, and once i get that fixed and then genset is working right, I'm looking for a Deuce. I get quiet from time to time, but I'm here...

Thanks! BTW - My Uncle lives in Fort Valley, and I have an aunt in Warner Robins. small world. Yeah, the guy that loaded for me in the trailer said the same thing - he figured that's why i bought it, and when i told him I planned to make it a runner, his eyes got really big and he said...

Here's some "after" pictures. I'm still doing some work to it, but she runs great. gonna do a little more painting and cleaning her up, and a load test, before I hook up the house to her. so far so good.

UPDATE: I picked it up today. It's decision time - I took a look at it, and sure enough, the Voltage Reg is gone and so is the injector pump. BUT... It turns over by hand with a socket wrench on the blower wheel bolt on the crank. Also, I was able to get most of the parts I needed from a...

I'll remove the blower housing and try the prybar trick first, then. thanks for the heads up.

just thought of something... do the newer MEP 803 TQGs have any interchangeable parts with these sets?

gotcha. having never worked on these particular models, what size socket would I need? I'm assuming it has a crank pulley with a bolt I would attach my socket wrench to in order to turn it over.

ouch. and they're not easily seen in those shots I posted, so there's no way to really know until I get the unit, correct? this is not looking good. assuming the worst, I may be lucky to break even, If I'm understanding you guys right, and If I decide to keep it, I may be dumping quite a bit...

thanks for the heads up, I fixed them just in case. those were just bookmarks, but all the same, it's edited now. I'll watch that closer next time. As for the IP and VR, do you mean they're some of the first things removed, or the first things that go bad?

I think that will be the deciding factor, along with the motor's condition. if it turns over by hand, and the fuel system parts are there, I'll go forward with piecing it back together. if not, I'll part it out if either of the two are true. side note - I can get just about all of these...

epitts, that's the exact panel I mentioned above. I can get the correct volt meter (which doesn't appear to be on that panel) and I think that combined with the parts on that panel, I can rebuild the control box to working order. I downloaded the 24P manual, and I'll be staring at the wiring...

thanks for the feedback. I'm not sure - I didn't catch the missing starter until AFTER I'd won and paid for the genset. the missing tank I can work around, and I figured I could pretty easily make some sort of air cleaner housing work. the start I found for $75 online, and I know surplus...

Here's what I won. not the prettiest in the bunch, but it's what I could afford at the moment (aka justify to the wife). :D

I just won an auction for one at Warner Robins a few days ago and paid for it today. I think I did OK on the price (under $400). downside is it's missing some things: all the gauges except the Hobbs meter, the air cleaner housing and hoses, the starter, fuel tank, (I think the lines, but I...
