Yes.

The IP is dead, likely the switch on top of the injection pump. I became familiar with the fault clear switch early on.

Well, I'm using the one manual I got. So far I'm thinking the electronic governor or solenoid is junk, as in it's not allowing the IP to do it's job. Opening the panel and looking at the boards isn't very telling. No red lights on, no overspeed, no fault lights I can see. About to wash my...

I've gone to the Deere manual. So far I've cracked the fuel filter housing, and got some bubbly fuel out. I ran the primer till it was a steady stream. I primed again, then no start. Next I cranked the IP return line open, and primed the system, got quite a lot of fuel out, still no start...

I'll take a look. Thanks for the tip. I've never cracked injectors on a diesel, so wish me luck.

"Notify Next Higher Level of Maintenance" doesn't really help me much.

Picked up a 2007 MEP-806B for our police department back in January. Unit has 13.6 hours on it according to the meter. John Deere won't fire up. Put fuel in it, showing nearly half a tank on the screen. Cleared the fault codes, put two new 850 CCA batteries in it, and still nothing. It will...

Well fellas I'm in the same boat. Picked this up from the DRMO in january. It has 13.6 hours on it. Starting to think the reason it was in demil was it's got a bad IP. It cranks and cranks, but won't fire except on the ether. I put two new batteries in it, thinking it might be sensitive to...

It is an 806B. So far I've learned that the unit has 120v power (courtesy power) off the unit, but is only 10 amps, but that with the proper setup, it can power off two of three legs without issue. We have to have it two years before it can be liquidated. The problem is that I will not be...

Believe it's a MEP 806-B? The Optima batteries in it are fried and so we are unable to power it up and the tags are hard to read.

Long time no see! My police department just got gifted a 60kW genset (we applied for a 15, got a 60....go figure). However we believe it may be a white elephant as the town utility guy says since it's three-phase it's worthless for backup power for our police station, or in fact any facility...

It's not going to work, and even if it did, there really is no point. Believe me when I say that 4L60E transmissions are notoriously weak.

Thanks guys. If you trip over any photos of these big blue beacons in use throw em up in the thread, if possible. Much appreciate!

Those would be the lights.

Among other things, I'm a collector of vintage emergency lights, such as Federal Signal, Dietz, Mars, etc. I bought a Mars Skybolt 12v rotator marked "US ARMY". It's a 12 volt light with a blue dome/plastic base. It uses two PAR36 sealed beam bulbs. The trouble we are having, is...
