Honest question with a touch of sarcasm. I didn’t know what was officially the front. Now I do. And who are you calling civilian? When I was active my gens put out 425 kW each, I could parallel all three if desired, and I knew which end was the front (kinda obvious when they’re mounted to the...

Yeah, it’s pretty tight in there. Hopefully I don’t have to pull the IP but that shouldn’t be too hard (famous last words). Yes, the return to tank line is female AN/JIC. Thanks for the clarification on which is the front. I’ll have to spin the unit around in the garage so I look at the right...

Thanks you for confirming my suspicion! By “front” you meant the control panel eng of the gen? I’ll see what I can track down. I wasn’t sure if it was some special fitting since it looks like 1/4” flare from the return line (as you mentioned), NPT into the IP, and AN/JIC to the tank return...

Where does the return line from the injection pump to the fuel tank connect on/near the injection pump? Bought a Mep-002a a year ago, runs fine, carries a load, etc. Fuel return line (says “From Inj Pump” on tank end) was just dangling under the engine. Checked the TM but nothing definitive in...

I figured the batteries would be necessary. I already have a MEP-531a so I'm not going to bother investing in the parts to make this 501a a not so portable 120VAC unit. I really appreciate the replies, saved me a lot of time and money.

Sorry to revive an old thread... I have a MEP-501a with only 2.4hrs and it runs like a champ. I was going to use it for battery charging but plans changed. Was trying to sell it but no one in my area wants a bizarre 28V DC gen. Does anyone know if I can directly connect a 24VDC to 120VAC...

Before you go grab that S10 wheel, be advised, I have the entire S10 steering column installed in my truck. Here is a pic of the leg (knee) room I have.

I run a 180 in SE Virginia with no issues. I had some vapor locking problems this past summer but that was due to the previous owner mounting an inline fuel filter in between the pump and carb (?) and the fuel lines were rubbing on a coolant line. Relocated the filter to the frame rail under...

I have a smaller steering wheel in my M37 (came off an S10 I was told) and I can fit my knee in between it and the door. Definitely going to want power steering if you go with a smaller wheel.

Rolling north with an empty 18' car/equipment trailer (16' flat, 2' dovetail, HD ramps, 8,000 lb load capacity) and F-450 (8'x9' flatbed). Might have room on the truck's flatbed on the return trip. I usually go up the Eastern Shore but I can accommodate the DC/Baltimore route. Not looking to...

- Mods, if I need to put this somewhere else, delete it, or get a "Vendor Account" just let me know and I will do so. - ***PM me before you bid*** I can recover items in Portsmouth/Norfolk, VA. Trucks/Vehicles: 2.5/5 Tons are no problem. Others on a case by case basis. $850: I will preview...

I like the weld a nut idea! Plus playing with the welder is always fun.

Can't. The splines are super shallow and the the square won't grab

First oil change on the PW has me stumped. What bit do I need for the drain plug? It's like a T60 Torx but has 8 points instead of 6. I've heard of them referred to as "double square" and "8 pt star" but can't find anything online. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm surprised the...
