Glad to hear your unit is working out so well. There has been one of these units for sale up with just 550 hrs on it in Portland, OR (Craigslist) for a while now. If I didn't already have 3 gensets I would consider making an offer on it. The older model NF-2 that I gutted and sold the Onan...

Its rare but packages do get lost, or stolen, in transit. I can attest to that: A few years back I had a Breitling watch that I had sent to the factory for service. It was on its return back to me and I was using the UPS tracking # to keep tabs on its movement. Tracking showed it had landed...

I think it would look great in shiny OD green! BTW, mine was towed to my place using car hauler trailer with winch since the old tires were dry rotted but still holding air. Haven't replaced mine yet since they are still holding air due to having tubes. No plans to move it much since its...

Don't know when or what color you plan to paint it. I went with Rapco paint and chose 383 green due to my surroundings and it turned out very nice. I have it parked under a low hanging maple tree and the color blends in with leaves and grass quite well which is good since its parked 100' from...

The new bulbs do cast a very nice beam. I may have to put my light platform back on my NF2 (DIY) D and find those particular light housings and bulbs and scrap the Mercury lights that came with my unit. Having that much light available is a good thing!

Ok, gotcha! My older NF2's suspension was lower on the wheels and the ballasts were not part of the lights (were wired inside the units enclosure) and the lights were fairly easy to take off. The ballasts for my NF2 (older style mercury lights) were the size of an old 5 lb coffee can and were...

I was thinking it would be nice to see photo's of the two different bulbs installed side-by-side (MH & Sodium) taken like your field shots above just to see the beam pattern and color differences if a photo can capture those differences. Then a shot of only the new MH's installed. Don't go to...

Can't you just crank down the platform to ground level working height? Or is it too time consuming to crank down and then back up. As I recall from the platform that was on my older model NF2 it took a lot of cranking and there was a lot of friction in the very heavy duty light platform with...

Would also be nice to see a night time photo with the two different bulb patterns on ground/scenery along with your description of the perceived differences between the two.

Congrats! You got a runner! I recall when I lit up my NF2 when it was still in original OEM condition before I repurposed it. It was a purty sight to behold!

That slide out for maintenance is a very nice feature. Between that and the Kubota engine I'm quite jealous! Just wondering...if one were to want to connect a NF2D unit up to a house inlet box/transfer how would that be accomplished? I don't see any distribution load terminals or any type of...

Yeah, if I had run across a NF2D with the nice Kubota Diesel and 7kw Kohler diesel I would have just painted enclosure (wife is a stickler for aesthetics when it comes to me dragging stuff home) and then utilized it 100% as is. On the other hand, the NF2 I purchased with Onan CCK and 2kw gen...

That enclosure looks vaguely familiar! If you look at my post #7 in my thread below you can see what one looks like when repainted: https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?144001-MEP-002a-transplant-into-NF-2&highlight=

You should also consider posting on Smokestak.com in the military generator section. Sometimes the guys over there might have stumbled across info we don't have over here or already have same unit you are purchasing . Just a thought. reference: https://www.smokstak.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=79
