Could you guys tell me how to bench test these fuel pumps. I am still trying to get my gen set back going after algae and tank contamination. I have took the tank off and cleaned it and I removed the pumps to clean but upon inspection they look really good. Screens are clean, but one did seem...
Hey guys - thanks for all your help. I am needing advice on getting my 002A running. Currently I work for a Rural Electric Cooperative and farm. My 002A doubles as a backup genset and also I run my welder off it for farm repairs.
Right now we have 12,000 people out of power (including my...
Hey guys - Thanks to everyone that always helps me on this site. I appreciate it really.
My 200A is hooked up to a stick welder that I use on the farm for building pipe corrals and pipe fencing corners. Let me first say that I have neglected to keep the fuel fresh in this gen set and that is...
Hey guys - I put a digger derrick on my M923A1 - 1984 vintage - before there was no problem with the rears binding - but now with the added weight of the unit - it's complaining in a turn on hard surfaces. Im guessing the unit at around 10,000 lbs.
Is there any practical way to divide the...
Can you guys point me in the right direction for replacing a transmission line on my 923a1? I believe it to be a return from the cooler up by the passenger front wheel. I am going to try and post pics. Thanks for the help.
Hey guys - was wondering if anyone has had any experience running the heat side of a 5ton unit with a genset? It indicates 100% loaded - I let it run for about 10 minutes and the genset turned itself off.
On the AC side it is only running 50% loaded. I am looking for the technical manual now...
I have a MEP-003 that I changed the tap from single phase 120/240 over to the three phase 120/208 - It turned fairly hard and it seemed like it went past the position before it switched. I ran the genset and got the proper voltage readings off of L1,L2,L3,L0 but the tap changer liked locked...
First of all I would like to thank everyone here who offers great advice. You guys have helped me out numerous times and it is greatly appreciated. As I have said before I am just an old farmer who uses my M923A1 around the ranch but I do keep it tagged because I have to get it out on the...
My apologies in advance for not knowing the answer to this question already, BUT.......... It's deer season and I had my 923 out this weekend - yeah just because I love to drive it through the woods and you can see way better - anyway just like a kid in a candy store I couldn't resist the barn...
Does anyone know where a guy can get a replacement black knob off the front of the genset? I think they are the same, but I need the triangular black knob that is the start switch.
THanks
I was considering a 939 dump truck to go with my cargo on the farm. Seems I have heard that the CTIS is a bad deal, and all the dump trucks seem to have it.
Is is a deal breaker? I mean, should it be avoided due to mainentence nightmares?
Thanks.
Severe Flooding here in southern Missouri! I texted my boss this morning - ME: Water is too high for company pickup across my driveway; its coming in the doors and sliding the front end sideways and I just barley got in it. My Boss: Do not take any chances. I am not fishing you out. Wait...
Has anyone had any experience running an arc welder with a 002a or 003a? My question stems from an guy from Nordic Air that told me the compressors on the a/c units had continuous run compressors because it was hard on the gen sets if they cycled a lot.
Well that got me to thinkin...
One a MEP701 - the cover on the outside of the unit where the battery goes has a diagram that says its 24v, but there is only room for a small battery inside. I have never seen a single 24v battery - is that right?
Need some advice please! Got my gen set home and oiled and fueled it. It cranked up and ran great for about 20 second, then slowly lost rpm and just chugged and then died. There was air at the fuel filter drains of the last two filters, and a pretty good oil leak coming faround the bolt head of...
Could you guys tell me what all modifications need/have to be made to add a winch to a truck that is W/OW. My 1983 923 has the controls in the cab, and the winch in and out has a cable attached to it and I found a hydraulic pump with a smooth shaft coming out of it. Not sure about the PTO...
