    Trailer jack on MEP-803a

    Guy there is no bolt but I went back to try driving that shaft out with a punch and with a lot of persuasion it started to move. What I found was the pin was broken in 3 places which is why the gear spun and the shaft did not. Also the square threaded block that the shaft moves up and down was...

    Trailer jack on MEP-803a

    I tried that too Guy. I was think of running a weld right across the top to join the gear and shaft but would rather leave that as a last resort. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Trailer jack on MEP-803a

    It’s pulled out enough and I removed the vertical gear too. Looks like it should come straight up and out but not budging. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Trailer jack on MEP-803a

Took the roll pins out and from what I can see the gear that lays flat inside is spinning but the shaft it’s attached to is not moving. Assuming there is a roll pin in...

    MEP 803a Water temp gauge

After some finagling I was getting a reading of 120 ohms and with a temp gun it showed the temp of the water housing at 140...

    MEP 803a Water temp gauge

    Also what is the difference between the engine temperature switch and the thermostatic switch? I was looking on the TM (http://www.liberatedmanuals.com/TM-9-6115-641-24P.pdf) and now I am confused. One has one wire going to it and the other has two going to it. I'm hoping the one that has two...

    MEP 803a Water temp gauge

    Zed thank you for the print out for the gauge. I jumped from the sender to the ground on the gauge and it pinned to the right like it was suppoased to. I then checked the resistance from the sender wire to the ground on the gauge and was getting OL. So I then ohmed the actual sender which...

    MEP 803a Water temp gauge

    Hello everyone and thank you for all the useful info. I've been lurking for many years and finally picked up a MEP-803a. Everything seems to be working properly except the water temp guage. When the unit is running and up to temp, I checked the supply voltage to the gauge which was 26v and...
