    #2 MEP 805B oh the joys

    Started on #2 805B today, replaced the mandatory John Deere washers on all the fuel lines, primed it up, and it started like a champ. Now the issue is having negative oil pressure, negative amp draw, 2 amps draw on all 3 legs with the engine not running, and it shows the battle short switch is...

    MEP 805B on a M200A1

    HAHAHAHA its alive, and all worked as designed,finally. I really like how well that John Deere motor pulls, even from no load to full load, it was just a split second of load then it was back to an easy pull. It didnt sound like it was working at all at 32KW, and only a hint of smoke going from...

    Finally got it working, and the sun is down and its cold so I didnt get to do a proper load, but at least I can say it worked. Part of the problem was a wire pulled out of a connector and there will be lots of contacts that need emery clothed.

    Standard Trailer on a M932A2 Tractor

    A 5T fifth wheel is the same size as a com'l trailer, only problem you will run into is getting the trailer on the truck, then you run into overall height issues. A good thread to read. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?163057-M932-M1088-Fifth-Wheel-Height-vs-commercial-truck

    MEP 805B on a M200A1

    After reading the schematics for the load tester, going to give it a run on 240/416 and see if i can get a load on 3 legs. Well 240/416 didnt work at all. I think this load is just old and grumpy. Got l2and l3 to load for a minute then l3 quit. So i guess i will get the load in the shop and...

    Well load testing didnt go so well, could only get my load tester's magnetic switch to work on L2, I could only get part of them to work. After manually closing and opening the magnetic switch (with no power on) I did get it to pull 10KW on L2.

    I want to be confident in the jenny, so I will run 80% for a couple hours. 5-10 gallons of fuel is pretty cheap as a confidence builder.

    GovPlanet, one short day a week pickup times, Anyone else having this problem???

    IMO if you are going to charge me storage fees after 8 business days, then you should be open for pickup during those 8 business day. I am not saying you have to have a body on site 5 days a week, but be AVAILABLE to load 5 days, or heck, 4 days a week.

    well crap, delay of game until tomorrow afternoon, the fuel gauge decided to read zero, so i will have one here tomorrow. How long is a good load test at 100%? 50%? The tm doesnt say anything about time.

    I did not, they were a pita to get in the terminals anyways. I may try that before i hook up the second 805b for a load test. I only have 1 100amp cable with bare wires on one end.
