I have no doubt you're right. It is an extremely well balanced trailer. I'll have the 802 sitting sideways across the front, so no real worry about tipping it back. At least that's the case until I get the compressor on the back. Plan is to have adjustable landing gear at 3 points so I can...

And just because I hate untidy posts with no conclusion... There's a M116A2 chained down on my tilt bed hauler currently. Former PU of some type. (can't recall the number). Picked it up yesterday. Has the bows/hoops/supports (haven't looked up their nomenclature yet) for a canvas cover, and...

If your batteries are in good shape, the ammeter should only go positive briefly. Once the batts are topped off from the start, it should show 0. Compare the battery voltage running, and not. If it's higher when running, the alternator is putting out juice. I'm sure the other folks here can...

I was kinda curious too... Multiple colors available. https://tracerproducts.com/uv-fluorescent-dye-multi-colored/

I'll add just this as I'm no expert... The TM's really are extremely good. They are however, enough to cure the worlds worst case of insomnia. If you're not used to the way the military wrote manuals, it takes some getting used to. I'm just finally getting comfortable with the 802a manual...

I saw a DRASH unit kinda close for a crazy good price, but naturally when I contacted them, it was gone. It was the style with the tilting deck in the back, which I really didn't care about, but the preinstalled outriggers made it appealing. That's kinda what started me asking as I was simply...

That drone support rig looks tall sitting up over the fenders. Nice to have all that flat deck to work with though. I knew I had seen something like that when I was looking at the first 802 I checked out, which was a trailer mount... I had no idea what the TM number was though...

Thanks.

Ok, good start point. Which one is in your photo? Looks like room on the front for an 802a sideways, and the compressor is a touch more narrow so likely ok on the tail.

I've been wanting to put a trailer under my MEP-802a. It hasn't been an urgent need, so I really didn't pursue it. It still isn't urgent. However, I had the thought that it would be very nice to put the 802 on one end of a trailer, and a vintage pretty heavy, but low power draw air compressor...

Yea, but if they're all captive nuts, you don't get to use all the weird shaped 3/8 wrenches you've collected over the years to access some of the nuts.... And then there's the captive nuts that seize and spin, and you get to break things to get in...

I'll add that I occasionally use starting fluid to clean and dry for the same reasons the contact cleaner works. With the cranky, vintage, gas powered toys I have, I always make sure to have that in quantity... Contact cleaner is around, but usually a can at a time, and I always struggle to...

The bottom you have to screw on, The batteries I just put in there, and dropped the trays on top. The top and sides I simply wired in place with light copper wire so it wouldn't rust off. It doesn't have to be a work of art. I did fold the edges over to make it a little more rigid, and less...

Many folks, myself included, use 1/4" hardware cloth over the various opening. (big one on the bottom, 2 under the batteries, side, and top. The power outlet hole would be a challenge if left as is, but if you install a dedicated outlet, that's sealed up. I've had more than enough rodent...

Given a choice, if you gotta move it the long way, put a pallet under it. It gives you a little more margin for error without spearing the machine, and you're less restricted to keeping the forks right under the skids. I keep my 802a on a skid whenever I need to work on it as I can then move it...

May I suggest a bit of labeling on the bad pump in the parts pile... It doesn't take long to forget why one put something that's bad in a pile of parts that may be good...

As I understand it, the fuel gauge has nothing to do with the no fuel fault light. You may be looking at a sketchy gauge sender, and then the low fuel float is out of calibration, or sticky...

And, of course, I should have just gone through the stickies first... No excuse. The answers were right there.

I had a lined tank fail, and a portion of that lining then settled over the outlet. Was a tractor in my case, but another possibility if you're just unlucky.

As I get ready to salvage what I can from the 813a carcass, I wanted to run a couple by the gurus here... I've currently got a square blue S1 in my 802. If I understand, that's the 2nd version, but still prone to failure? The 813 has the below S1, and I thought I should confirm if this is the...
