Going to pick these up tomorrow. The specs for the M103a3 trailer claim the width is 82.25", and my trailer spec sheet says width between the wheel wells is 82". I've got a plan in mind if that 1/8" on either side is a problem, but it should be fun/interesting either way. I also found a 50...

welcome from sunny(and really humid) florida

Great post! Looks like you painted it in place. Any tips on that? Did you spray or brush, tape off the inlets, etc? Also, I've seen a few ask, but didn't catch the answer, what size breaker are you running this to?

sounds like a lot of work for $500-/$600 in fuel

Guy, will the sync box output the parallel power, or just indicate sync and put one set online at a time? if just sync, then we would need to take the power directly from the set and combine first, then send to the load, correct? I read through the TM and there was no mention of parallel...

Current plan: Going to do a semi-permanent install at my house with one of the units. Put it on a pedestal along with a 50 gallon tank. I may add a fuel polisher, TBD. This thread is my inspiration For the other, I'm planning to mount it on a trailer. I am contemplating stripping all the...

What is going to be the best way to get the rear gen off the trailer? I can't get a fork under it because of the wheel wells.

Once I have mine up and running, I'll post my own results.

since I've just acquired these, and am learning about them, i'll contribute as I can to threads where applicable. The military ran a test of various fuel types and part of that was consumption rate. For the 803a @50% rated capacity, they observed ~.66 gal/hour. I think that is a more real...

Rather than start a new thread, I'll put the question here. What fuel has the best shelf life for an MEP-8xx? If I were to buy a 55 gallon drum of something, it could be years till it is actually used.

10-4. I'm picking up a pair of 803s next friday from Lake Butler.

Late introduction here. I grew up enamored with green machines. Having one is on my bucket list, preferably a deuce. For now, that will have to wait. I found SS in my search for a generator. After losing power for 5 days after Hermine, I decided I needed a bigger generator. I have a 5kw...

Just got off the phone with the POC at the pickup location. He said he had cleaned up the set and got them in good working order. I imagine that is not the norm for this stuff. Confirmed pickup next friday.

10-4, thanks

The pics in this thread resolve directly from photobucket. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?156889-Ferret-Sand-Ditch-Ramps was there a change sometime after that thread to remove the functionality? I hate to use up SS storage when they are hosted for free elsewhere.

I want to post a pic from photobucket and have it render on the forum without creating an attachment or a hyperlink, just show the picture. http://i1010.photobucket.com/albums/af224/lonesouth/MEP-803a/1_zpshkxzgthc.jpg
