Small so they can be transported easily, used to quickly check runways during & after airfield assaults. Obviously has other operational uses and is a lot quicker then running the length of a runway to ensure it is operational. Not a long range tactical vehicle, been around and used by Army...

Great looking projects. How would I wire up my 803 to step down from the 50amp to 30amp?. Reason is my house was wired to accept only 30amp to the transfer switch.

CCT uses them also.

Very nice work roscoe. Your set up is exactly what I've been looking for. I have an 803A and a 30 amp gen plug already install on the house with a manual change over switch. I just need a 240 twist lock and maybe a 120 duplex. Problem is I have no clue how to wire up something like you have...

Thanks for the quick info. I believe my electrician can change the set up. If I'm not mistaken I had him use 8 wire for the run from plug to panel. I'll get that done before I hook up and get a 50 amp plug. Thanks again.

I have a MEP 803A, which is operating nicely. When I built my house I had a transfer switch installed at the panel and a 30 Amp plug connected to it on the outside. Question is, can I connect a 30 amp plug that is on a 10/4 wired cord to this plug. If so how is it properly connected at the...

Thanks CBR, glad to see someone close by who can answer some of my questions.

Thanks for the info. Still looking on ebay for one. No luck so far. How did you search for it?

Thanks for the info. I was hoping I didn't have to take the tank out, but gotta do what I gotta do.

Great all around set up. I'm going to do the same with mine but until then it will remain "mobile". When I built my place I had the electrician put an outside RV type plug and a manual transfer switch in the main panel. I have a 50 amp 6/4 wire generator cable that will plug into the external...

Anyone know what size machine screw will fit the well nut we're talking about here. I have the same issue, the petcock and nipple extension pipe is missing from my 803A fuel tank too.

Thanks for the reply. Good luck with the control box. Hope i never have to install one of those.

What kind of connection did you use at the house. I just finished my house and had the electrician install a lock out/transfer panel and an outside 30 amp plug. Just wondering down how I wire the 30 anp plug to the gen.

So my 803A came with a box full of relays and I think I have them in correctly, but another set of eyes on is always helpful. So the one on the left is a "switch" and the others are relays if I have read the manual correctly. The "switch" only seemed to go in one way, I have another...

This is an amazing build. Your cab wiring is impressive. Wish I could do half that good. Looking forward to seeing the project completed.
