Thank you for this. It seem dimensionally accurate. I was able to locate several online stores that carry it but some were back-ordered and most want about $15 to ship a 60 cent item (x 10 min). Can you recommend store to buy things like these? Also, what is the procedure to drain an 802 fuel...

A few weeks ago I was walking through a parking lot and saw a trailer with a very THICK bed. I had to do a double take on it. But that's what it was. Pretty neat!

I like that idea. Especially if it allows to shift forward enough to balance things out. May have to re-arrange the rear leg to swing east - west on the rear bumper??? I'll put eyes on it tonight when I get home. That's thinking outside the box! Thanks fellas!

Thanks for the suggestions Chanbreaker, Been to NAPA, Tractor Supply, CO-OP Farm Supply, Hardware stores, searched online, have called Parts Direct and some other place in CA. No luck. Then this morning went to Fastenal. They did not have the copper gasket, so as a potential alternative we...

The tank was installed by previous owner but never hooked up. It does seem like it would be very out of balance when tank is full (additional 412 lbs) on tail end. Does it appear to you the gen was moved forward on the trailer possibly acting as a counter weight? Accessory box is in the front...

The tank in the photos was attached to the trailer (behind the generator) when I purchased it. I have since removed it to better inspect and drain the approx quart and a half of water from it. I intend on improving the method of attachment to the trailer (PU-797) also. I've attached some...

Excellent! Those are all great ideas. I'll update the post after I open up the tank via the covers mentioned earlier. We'll have to see what lurks below... Thanks again!

Hmm, good idea. That brings up another question. If one is for a return line, should it just be capped or does the 802a have an auxiliary fuel return line option? I haven't heard of one but thought I would ask. I'll try to dig into it this weekend. Thanks Chainbreaker!

I have a new auxiliary tank that was included with my 802a. Apparently it was intended for a 5 ton tractor according the NSN. Anybody know how to identify the connectors on the tank. The docs I did find about the tank did not show any exploded diagram or provide a clue as to which is the vent...

Ahh! Great idea. I'll have to give that a try. Thanks for the idea! Edit- I just tried it and it works!👍

Nice rig you've got there! I'm also new to the forum and also in TN. Franklin county to be clear. You mentioned south- Franklin, did you you mean the city of Franklin up north or Franklin county down south? Welcome to the forum!

Thanks for the tip. I'm mostly looking for a way to archive topics or threads for offline review. Thank you again for the response!

Thanks Chaplain! I appreciate you forwarding my question. Blessings sir.

Does anyone out there know how to download (to a thumb-drive or other drive) an entire thread topic? I'm particularly thinking of conversations about MEP 802a repairs and troubleshooting in case the grid or internet is not available for awhile. After all, the electrical grid (at least in my...
