    MEP-805B Oil in coolant

    There are lots of brands that can work. Since it has a John Deere engine in it, your local agriculture or construction dealership should have the appropriate fluids. No idea what they'll charge you though.

    MEP-802a 50 amp female twis-tlock receptacle

    Are you using the 802 in 240V or 120V mode? If you're going the 120V-only route, that might explain why the electrician guided you towards a 50A receptacle.

    Civilian generator trailer from WI to SD-ish

    Civilian generator trailer (empty) from WI to SD-ish I'm looking for someone to pick up a civilian generator trailer (MGT1E) in Germantown, WI and bring it to (or towards) Sioux Falls, SD. It's got a single axle, electric brakes, lunette ring, and currently an empty bare frame. Overall...

    mep-802a no start well pump

    If any of the burners were on, but not set to high, they would be cycling on/off attempting to maintain their temperature setting. That would cause the load to vary and the ammeter to jump around.

    Adding a 240V 30A outlet to an 802A

    You could mount that receptacle on an 803, too, but you'd likely want some sort of fuse or circuit breaker.

    MEP803A Lister Engine Build Number

    Some of the reset 803's have engines with Lister Petter plates on them. Can someone post a picture of an engine's data plate? Maybe that will have the build number on it somewhere.

    MEP 803a fuel filter housing (spin on)

    Here are a couple fuel filter heads that might work: Donaldson P560382 - has 1/4 NPT inlet & outlet Donaldson P562263 - has 1/2-20 UN inlet & outlet (works with o-ring boss) Both of those heads have M16x1.5 threads for the stock primary fuel filter. I've used these heads on my auxiliary fuel...

    Help me identify these wires

    I haven't seen those before. I wonder if they're related to what appears to be electrical tape on the bottom wire going into S17?

    MEP-803A Injection Pump sticking

    Two years ago, I got a good deal on an 803 that did some time in the sand. After I got it home I changed all of the fluids & filters, added fresh fuel and a pair of batteries, replaced the dead primary fuel pump, and spent some time cleaning the sand out of the switches on the control panel...

    Need some help from Venezuela

    I'm a visual learner. Hopefully this will help someone else. The 4 positions on the blue arc are for 3-phase. The 2 positions on the red arc are for 1-phase. Assuming you have the voltage adjusted properly: When the switch is on any of the positions with the yellow dots, the voltage should...

    Picking up an MEP-803A from an Army depot

    They will also fit in the bed of a 1/2 ton crew cab chevy. In a pinch, you can move them on a flat surface fairly easily with a roller (3 or 4 foot long piece of steel pipe or wooden dowel rod) and a 3 foot pry bar. Use the pry bar to lift up under each skid just enough to get the "roller"...

    MEP004A generator block heater

    I haven't tried this personally, but it ought to work for an 802 or 803: The Zerostart Engine Heater 3100077 for Lister-Petter LPW Series (1994 & newer 56 CID 2 cyl., 85 CID 3 cyl., 113 CID 4 cyl.). This model is to be installed between cylinders. Point element UP or DOWN. PRODUCT...

    Pretty sure the 804 has a 10-lead generator head, which is 3 phase only.

    MEP-803A Spare Parts

    I've had good luck with a rubber strap wrench. Occasionally, for something really stubborn or soft, I'll use a pair of them offset 180°. The ones I have are similar to this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B001AMXRG6/ref=cm_cr_srp_mb_bdcrb_top?ie=UTF8

    MEP 803a 24v fuse needed F03A125V30A 5920-00-539-6920

    Reset kit in a box? Not sure if this is what you had in mind, but I was looking at this on a recent GP auction. It went dirt cheap, probably because it was in Guam. I couldn't get a shipping quote in time and I didn't want to risk spending big bucks shipping home a cheap win, so I passed...

    Extra discharge port on MEP 802 water pump

    Agreed, it's not necessary. I've seen some with a short chunk of hose and a bolt clamped into the end as a makeshift plug.

    Identification of Marine Diesel?

    Looks like Banks is making the engines for the JLTV, the replacement for the HMMWV. Possibly based on a Duramax block. https://www.bankspower.com/insider_news/pinch-me-i-gotta-be-dreamin/

    MEP 803a Auxiliary Fuel Connection

    The auxiliary fuel fitting on the generator is a -5AN fitting. You can also use a 5/16" JIC fitting since they are compatible. I'd use a 5/16" fuel line personally, but 1/4" or 3/8" would probably work ok.
