I've never worked on one or actually seen one in person. But it should have both, a temperature switch and an oil pressure switch. Almost all generators do have these. Simply because, unlike all vehicles, the operator is not sitting right in front of the gauge panel watching things. So in...

The frequency of these kinds of generators is set purely by the engine speed. There aren't many generators on the market that use frequency regulation ( with the exception of the newer inverter type generators). If the speed is staying steady, and the on board meter is steady, then you have an...

Welcome aboard. If you're a friend of Kips, it's already too late for you...LOL Seriously though, Kip is one of the good ones. Have fun and I hope you can get your OD fix soon. There is nothing worst than an OD addict going through withdrawal.

:funny: :not worthy: :nothingfunny:

Supposedly, there is this mysterious "zig zag" connection that I have heard members talking about having on their 004's (but have yet to see any pictures of one actually hooked up like that). But in doing this connection, you have to de-rate the set by at LEAST 1/3rd, so you now have a 15 KW...

you should be good with the 003a. Since you have the ability to check amp readings on your AC feed, and know about the "hard start kit", I would take an afternoon and switch the house over to the 003a and see if it would run everything. It may run everything just fine since it's rated at 52...

yeah, the main wiring harness going to the fuel pumps, started, safety switches and the like are all the DC side, so they are the same connectors (the DC side shouldn't care between 60 and 400 Hz). Since the connectors for the generator head go to the output box, they will be correct since they...

Bob, You are correct, the VR and Bridge board are different. But so are a lot of other components. Pretty much all of the gauges are different, the CT/CVT assembly is different, the main 3 phase breaker and almost every component inside of the output box is different. Like the gimpy one...

Great pics, I am curious about the last one though....Kip, was that name tag for the benefit of everybody else, or your own (so you didn't forget who you were)????

8800 hours is still a baby. It shouldn't even be away from it's mamma yet...LOL. Seriously, 10,000 hours is about the point the military says to rebuild them, but if you look at diesel construction equipment and diesel farm equipment, it's not uncommon to have machines out there with 20, 30 or...

Of the two deuce recoveries I made, one in WI and one in PA, both were really cool about letting us crawl all over the truck and check all the fluids and diffs and tire pressures. We didn't spend time gawking at other vehicles and BSing with everybody, just got down to work. And in my humble...

I just purchased and sold some of them here a couple of months back. They are really nice heaters. Very compact design, and unlike the larger H45 and M1941 heaters, these are totally self contained. Every part including the stack tucks away neatly inside of the heater itself. As for the...

your parts, are they for the 10 KW gas generator or the diesel MEP-003a generator?

I had some bids on a couple of them, but I'm too cheap (IE...Broke) to win them.

I know some folks with motors for these generators that will be willing to part with them. PM me if you are interested in their info.

It'll run your welder just fine. The MEP-002a is a fine generator. It will put out 24 amps at 240 volts all day long...and then some.

The originals are the 6TL's that the military uses a lot. However for the price, any good group 31 battery works really well. I used a pair of 1000 CCA Interstates for mine. Compared to the price of a 6TL, you can get both group 31's for the price of one 6TL sometimes.

You're running that control unit on a MEP-903a APU. The MEP-002a and 003a's are quite a bit different. However, it probably is very possible to do a system with the controller you are using. These sets don't have the electronic boards like the APU's have, these are older models with conventional...

First off, the MEP-003a doesn't need an auto throttle. That generator and engine are designed to be started and taken straight to rated speed. Just set your speed when you have it running and leave the throttle alone. That way the next time you start it up, it will go right to the rated...

Phil, I have to agree about gimpy, after the Haspin "event" you never know what he'll pull, does Durhamtown have "kiddie" trails, we could always limit gimpy to them. P.S. That was me driving gimps truck in the grand canyon at last years rally.
