scored 2 MEP003a's on trailer

[hedgehog69]

Scored 2 mep003a's on trailer today. Look good...but...they have been sitting out in Iowa weather for 10+ years. Cleaning fuel tanks..changing filters. changing oil and filter. Anyone know filter #'s off top of head?

I was able to get one engine to turn by prying generator thru the perforated shield. 2nd one is stuck. My thinking is to pull injectors and squirt Sea Foam into cylinders.

Anyone have better idea?

Thanks

Fram c1125pl for fuel and Fram CH6pl for oil.

Put diesel, kerosene, PB blaster, WD40, etc in the cylinder before seafoam. Seafoam has no lubrication and just eats varnish. It won't do anything to lubricate the cylinders from being stuck.

If you find that your fuel tanks are beyond repair, I have nice NOS ones available....... I also have the correct glow plugs available.........

Another question comes to mind. Are there different rims available for these trailers? I would really like smaller diameter rims...and get rid of the *#@* split rims.

theyr're still holding fuel...nasty, stinky fuel. Acouple years ago I had a leaky tank on a MEP003a. I took it to a tank repair place in Pella, IA. Still doing great...but dang....cost me around $275.

Well, maybe, if you posted a picture, and or told us what model trailer you had, someone could tell you something about the wheels.
