    Which MEP is this?

    I have one of the Hardy LED meters (from the recall batch, recall was due to missing strain relief on the cord which allowed the sharp edge of the plastic hole in the case to cut into the cord), it is not readable in direct sunlight, is marginally readable in shaded areas or with cloudy a sky...

    Which MEP is this?

    Type does not matter much, I would think most lined or unlined steel would be best, if you get a plastic one check to make sure it resist oil (there are a lot of different kinds of plastic, some become brittle when exposed to oil or sunlight), you also want to make sure that the previous...

    Which MEP is this?

    Mobile is relative, the MEP-701 with the ASK housing weighs in a bit over 500 pounds, I think the plain MEP-002a is around 850, so while it is lighter portability is not that different. The Yanmar powered MEP-016d is probably the lightest of the family as it has the smallest engine, and the...

    Which MEP is this?

    It is not that old, at least in its rebuilt life, the Yanmar upgrade program started around 1999, the generator end and frame were probably built in the 1960's or 1970's. It sounds like you paid a very good price, I have a MEP-701a (016b in ASK) powered by a single cylinder Onan diesel and...

    Which MEP is this?

    That is one of the Yanmar diesel converted MEP-016a / 016c making it now a MEP-016d. Ike p.s. the manual for the original a or c version should still cover all of the generator end stuff, and I am sure there is a civilian manual for the L70 series engine, I think the only change the military...
