Hello,
We've run a 1991 M-923A1 5 ton for our brush truck on the Fire company for years, its been a great truck but recently it has been giving us issues with the air leaking up into the airbox and the brakes not building air properly. It's stumped our truck mechanic so far and I'm wondering...
MEP-803A still working great. I wanted to get a cover made for it for a while, but just had a piece of plywood on it. After a bunch of searching I ran across this cover for outdoor furniture on Amazon. It works pretty darn well, and for $30 I can't complain...
MEP-803A ran flawlessly this last storm for over 24hours. went to shut it off and it wouldn't. went inside, messed with a few things and came back out, a few min later is slowly died. After a search I found this thread, sure enough I went out and the black knob / bolt linkage had rattled...
Thought I'd pop back in on here with a report since it's been a while. After the recent storm We lost power, I ran the 803 for 52 hours straight, not a hiccup! Ran the whole house, well, two freezers, fridge, even had mama run the dryer when she needed it. I reworked my setup so I can now...
I had a heck of a time figuring it out. I did have one of those clear plastic in use covers that I could have made work, but I didn't want it sticking out 3-4 " past the exterior.
I didn't see a setup the way I wanted exactly for power so here's what I came up with. I wanted it to fit close to flush, and have the ability to be unplugged. I also didn't feel quite comfortable with running a 50A plug even though it would have probably been fine. I went with 4/4 SOOW from...
Demoh Thanks for this info! I seams like I'm over thinking it. I like the idea of a twist loc better then a straight plug and hadn't seen the CA type 50A style. Heard Head I just swapped out all the return lines for new and also wired up the gauges for light per info on this site!
Our main problems around here are stink bugs, lady bugs and mice. I don't have many trees at all around where the Generator will live so hopefully it will stay clean.
On another note: I've been doing lots of reading and it looks like 50A plug ends are used but to be really sure I should be...
I had some time to work on the 803 here's my ss screens installed. It was a bit of a pain to cut them perfectly to wedge in there and also to get the screen in place. I'm happy with the results. I did have to temporarily remove the hand throttle cable to get the one in on the left. A simple...
:???: Thanks, I re looked at the 151 heater kit picture, and I have almost every piece in that kit. I wish I had a picture of a deuce heater setup laid out to compare. I'm
Nice deuce! Ya that sure looks like it. What is the other cover for? it almost looks like it would fit over the winch, but that doesn't make much sense to me for a winterization kit.
Batteries sit in there nicely it's close but there not touching the engine at all. Tie down is just snugged down, it's not titling battery or anything. Thanks Hard Head for this well throughout list of improvements. We have a big problem with stink bugs and ladybugs here, I like the...
