Harleyhouse, I will be towing with a silverado 2500. Did you find the safety chains too short and or the hooks to large for the stock hitch? If so, how did you overcome this?

Harleyhouse, did you have tags on that trailer or just slapped the lights on and rolled?

Yeah I debated that because I have the bill of sale in hand now...

Yeah I checked with MD MVA and they said that I have to have a title to get any kind of tags. And they don't appear to have in-transit tags. Looked into GA as well but couldn't find much info. I'd rather tow it instead of dragging a trailer down and loading it up but my luck isn't so good so...

Rusty, Yeah I was reading some threads about them putting a stop to the selling of the MEP's that's why I jumped on this one! Sad sad day...

CDR: I got it for $800! I couldn't pass that up, even if it is a 12 hour drive one way... Whew! Leaving Sunday

I debated on that but I've got to drive through 4 states, one of those being Virginia and the state troopers there can be a bit umm... a pain

cuad4u, it sounds like you got the bug bad! Haha bought 9 in the last year! I've learned a lot already on this site. Lots of knowledge and great people on here! Thanks for the luck, I'm excited to pick her up!

CDR, Yeah its been frustrating at times searching and waiting but you'll find one. But they definitely don't seem as plentiful as they once were.

After a year of searching I finally was able win the bid on a MEP-003a and M116a2 trailer!!! :clinto: Can't wait to pick it up and bring it back to life! Georgia here I come!

Gotcha. Thanks for the quick replies!

Finally won a auction on a M116a2 with a MEP-003a! I guess I'm going to bring a trailer with me to load it on because it sounds like getting temp tags for it are a PITA. My stupid rookie question is, how does the jack on the tongue of the trailer operate? I have poured over pictures and haven't...

You will not effect timing by removing the heads. You can remove them and turn the engine over

I would pour some ATF into the injector ports and let it soak for a bit as it lessens the chance of breaking a ring although you have already turned the engine over. While thats is soaking for a few days to a week you can work on the rest of the generator but it is good that it did turn over...

That is awesome! Thanks for posting the pictures! That's the exact same setup I'd like to do!

Nice job!!!! Wish I was closer so I could see it first hand!

Congrats! I was hoping to get one of those but was outbid yet again... :-(

I'm in

Wow Brendan! Any idea why after getting the head pulled and looking into the engine?

Oh man! Yeah it looks like it was an operation! Whew!
