FYI, I spoke with Eddie as referenced above. He looked up my item, verified it was at the GovPlanet company lot, off site from RRD, and gave me Marco's number as the POC at the GovPlanet lot in Hooks Texas , 903) 556-0237. Marco facilitated my Uship driver's arrival and pickup. They had a...

Dupont Krytox Teflon grease is my go to on all things with a rubber o-ring, or seal. Effortless removal down the line of such things since it does not degrade or get washed away. There are higher temp versions that are probably better, but the 206 is what I have and works well. Take care...

Things I noticed whole vacuuming out the cobwebs: Obviously someone lost the fuel filter battle. Looks like, they drained the oil, took off the oil filter, destroyed the fuel filter, gave up and gave up. The hour meter reads 22.7 hours. Not the 222.7 in the auction listing. Here's to hoping...

More pics, sorry for the random order.

Pictures, pictures, pictures, as requested!

More pics to follow once we're back from my youngest son's deer hunt. Anything particular you want to see? Thanks, Matt

Exhaust flap is intact and appears functional.

I will definitely incorporate the shimmed middle caster to my design. Thanks for the tip!!! So it's in my garage. Pretty much as advertised. Uship guy did a great job. $400 to him, $440 total, and another $200 for a fork lift rental. Initial quick inspection, there is oil in the crank case...

Ahhh, should have known you already slayed this dragon. The pics are great and present a stable and cheap option to move it about. I have bigger mobility plans that will involve welding and result in the ability to winch it in and out of my truck bed quickly and safely. I was looking at this...

Will this work to safely support and move an 803a about my limited garage space? It's a 1500 lb capacity wheel mover missing the bottle jack(easy replace) and I don't initially need to lift it any further...

I like the homebrew idea!!! I've got a 11KW spa heater for sale locally on Craigslist. That, a cheap used pool pump and some 1.5" hose might make a nice load bank. Although the thermostat is just on or off. Genny shows up tomorrow, hopefully I can get her running without too much trouble...

Thanks all! Making me have less "I always get out bid" buyers remorse! Honestly bid and expected to get out bid. I always get out bid, except this time! Matt

Thanks for the info. I hope that's the toughest problem I'm up against. I'm a bit scared of a fully drained unit. Why is it fully drained, no oil filter, coolant overflow tank removed (but present).... Hopefully just drained for shipping and not a catastrophic failure. It does not appear that...

Greetings from AZ. I recently won this MEP-803a, lots of good pics in the posting. My MEP-803a Description mentions "missing Fuse" cannot be tested/started. Here is a pic of what appears to be FU1 missing. Looks like the fuse and screw cap are both missing. What do you guys think? Tier 2...

Yeah, but I'm pretty sure where it came from and how it was used/maintained. Won't surprise me if it's a runner. Still, they paid retail. I'd bet it was used periodically throughout the year. Hopefully we pickup a new member with a running 003a! Later, Matt

Thanks for the heads-up on that. Seems like there's several doable homemade LB designs on here that work well! Matt

I betcha these bad boys will crank my new (inbound) MEP-803a 10KW generator so hard it will produce power even it doesn't run!!! YES PLEASE!!!! Matt

Forgot to answer you, I got the tan one. Dry of all fluids, and missing a fuse behind the control panel. I hope they drained it for transport, and pulled the fuse to keep anyone from cranking it prior to servicing it. More praying than hoping!!!! Later, Matt

Thanks guys, I'll pass on this load bank and keep my eyes open for something along the lines suggested. I'm space constrained so an old electric range is out. I did see the homemade one using 3 electric hot water heater elements plumbed to a pool pump. Might go that direction. I'll pick up...
