Mep802 small fire repair help !!!

[oliveone]

Hello all here is the lasted. I cleaned up everything and spend a few hours checking other wire and parts in the area. It all looks good. I did a temporary repair (very Temp LOL) and fired it up. 802 was running fine closed the circuit breaker (Not the right word but you will understand) and verified that I have power at the wire terminals. So just need to replace the terminal block and will be up and running.

I called the company that makes the terminal block on Monday Marco Manufacturing out of Philly PA. They verified they make the part. I though wow this is great!!! Part 4300-12 is about $7.99 each but the company has a $50 minimum purchase request. Talk about a Buzzzzz Killer! I will order from another web site.

I replaced the top cover as we have a bad store coming on Wednesday. Don’t want water to come in.

Back in the day when I was in uniform one of my many job was to send soldiers to training. I ran a Q 36 Fire Finder Radar. Had a high speed operator that wanted to go the radar Repair School. I took some workings but he went away for almost a year for the training. Worked on the radar for a few years and did a good job. About 6 month before it was time to reenlist he came to me for a job reference. He said it is time for me to move on I hope you understand. You hate to lose a greatsoldier and good friend but you have to let them move up. He left the service to go work as a CECOM LAR. He is very busy with work and family butwas able to help out.

I will take pics and update when I get this back up and running. I have a spare 802 and an 803 ready on standby. This 802 is trailer mounted so it is my go to genny.

Thanks everyone for all you help and input!!!

There are people in the forum parting out gen sets. Look in the adds. You should get the TB cheap from them.

I might know know your young soldier. Most of the CECOM LAR's rotate through the vielseck office here. I still drop by, every now and then.

Did is a lot of work on the gen set of fire finder. The PU setup was a good one.

Talk about way over priced!! There isn't a terminal strip in the whole universe that is worth $16.00.

We live in the woods and field mice are part of the deal. I put Decon boxes throughout the garage including inside the base of my MEP-003A. Never had a problem with mice in there. Tonight in the middle of this nor'easter I went into the garage to put my long snow boots on and instinctively reached inside to check if anything was in there. Just a small pile of Decon in one of them.
