Having 3 flex plates in the machine might have something to do with the bolts shearing off. You could probably bolt 3 plates up just fine, but I see a few problems in doing so. 1, The bolts are going to have to be longer than normal to get the proper thread into the holes...unless they used...

With all the northerners coming this year I hope Lloyd rings plenty of regular peanuts with him. I am planning on getting down there for a few days. I also hope he brings plenty of grits with him...there is some southern cooking I like!!!!!

You guys should also know that if you try to run your 003a with a 400 Hz regulator, the VR will not last long. They are interchangeable in the 002's due to the smaller field in the 5KW head. But the card will not stand up to the increased current draw of the 10 KW head.

Which bolts are sheared off, item #21 or item #24 in the figure you referenced in your post. Also, as far as the disks are concerned, I believe that is a laminated disk, so you are probably seeing the laminations and not 3 separate disks. That being said, I am going to guess that the bolts you...

Kipman, you gonna be at the show? I was thinking about trying to get there Friday afternoon sometime.

Working these generators takes a lot of concentration at times. First off you have to get out of the habit of letting it "warm" up. Warming up one of these generators means to start it at 1800 RPM's (Which is where it should have been when you shut it down) and letting it run for a few minutes...

I have not seen one jumping around like you mentioned, but the fact that you cannot adjust it with the rheostat indicates that the VR is probably bad now. As Ike said, it's a fairly easy fix, I have done several. As a matter of fact I have several of the output transistors being delivered...

I could bring some....what you got in mind?

That's a good idea Jerry, I'll put that in the back of my mind when I get around to doing the sticky. It's actually an easy process, but you need to have a known good speed reference (Either a tach or good Frequency meter) and a way to load it down to 100%. Once you have those 2 things it is...

What Chevracer said...sounds like the damage is already done. You could have saved yourself the trouble if you had spent a few hours reading on the site here or reading the TM first. This issue has been covered here so many times it's not even funny. What is your voltage while the set is...

I know I am WAY behind on getting this thread put together and a "sticky" made, but I promise I have not forgotten about it. Life sometimes manages to get in the way of our hobby

I've been meaning to take pictures of that lube tank I listed earlier in the thread, but life keeps getting in the way of my hobby :mad: Maybe before the show I can get pics if anybody is interested in it

I'm really surprised that if a new filter base and maybe a bracket is all that is needed, someone hasn't done this long ago.

I know where possum run road is too...LOL. Every time I see a possum on the road :wreckerman893:, HE BETTER RUN!! :twisted:

Yes the canister filters do have to bypass check in them, it is inside the center bolt. Don't ask me what the PSI rating is though. All engine oil filters have this...kind of important. You guys all probably know that I make and sell the spin-on kits for the 002a and 003a's. If someone can...

wow...13 posts to get around to the same thing I said in post 5...LOL rofl :grd: rofl

Actually Ike, it makes perfect sense. Each coil of the MEP series generators (All of them up to the 60 KW that I know of anyway) is only 120 volts. When you configure the head in the various ways (series or parallel coils) is how you get the 240 single phase and various 3 phase voltages.

From what I can make out of the NSN on the bottom of the tag, yes it is for the MEP-003a

GOOD LUCK. That trailer with the 2 - 60 Hz MEP-002a's on it will most certainly end up going for more than $1000. The generators selling by themselves tend to bring 500 to 800 or more a piece

What you let the Jehovah's Witnesses do at your back door is your business. I don't think this forum is any place to be airing your dirty laundry though. :shock:
