Anyone have an idea why many are coming out with the lunette's and landing legs bent and screwed up?
I picked one up recently and discovered the lunette is bent and the brake head damaged just enough to not be obvious in photos, but make the lockout misaligned and the internal shock absorber...
I'm re-timing a 4a084 after cleaning up and resetting the points, but I'm not clear on the cylinder order, and think I may have reversed two plug wires. The TM shows the firing order, but I couldn't find cylinder numbering anywhere in it.
Anyone have a figure/illustration, or description of...
Just for pure speculation...
How do you folks think a MEP-802a Lister motor would work on a lawn tractor (water cooled)?
How about a MEP-002a motor (air cooled)?
My particular tractor has a hydrostatic tranny, so a steady RPM engine is all I need. Well, since this is just speculation, assume...
I'll say I *really* like mine for everything except generating power and idling.
Last edit, I promise...
Compared to the 002:
Pro's:
- Starts easy. Stupid easy. I can have anyone in my household go start it while I'm at work.
- Very quiet. My distant neighbors don't hear it.
- Enclosure is...
I've seen this Deuce parked in the same spot for several years. I asked a few neighbors about it, and no one knows anything (or claim not to). I thought I saw a thread about it once on here, but can't find it by any of the keywords I think might be relevant.
Anyone here know this one? I'm not...
I noticed my Battery-to-battery wire had some damage to it as I was putting my batteries in for long term. Someone before me decided a few wraps of electrical tape was good enough to repair it...
I suspect this is the reason I saw and have heard of several of these units having fires inside...
Anyone else notice odd behavior of the site?
The state list isn't showing up under the map, and the auction sort order is all screwed up. Normally (for me), it sorts by ending soonest, then lot number. Today, it's all over the place.
Just me?
Well, I let my main m101 sit all winter untouched, then grabbed I to head to NY for the day, and the bearing grenaded on I78.
Anyone know the civilian equivalent part number for the wheel bearing? Surprisingly, I couldn't find it on SS.
I'm in a Walmart lot right now, but want to run over to...
Hi all,
I have a MEP-017, 5kw gasoline-powered generator I want to bring up to my dad on Long Island (I'm in PA). Problem right now is that people are stealing generators and gasoline all over the place.
So I want to make this noisy gas unit quieter. If we can't hide it, at least make it...
I'm making a pickup tomorrow morning at aberdeen proving grounds in MD. I'll have limited space available, but should be able to haul something moderate sized. Don't have the luxury of time to deliver it more than a few minutes off course, but I can get it off base for you to pick up outside GL...
Anyone else experience this?
GL customer service doesn't know jack about a hold, but my site contact will not schedule me a pickup time because he says the government just issued a hold on it, and all the other units in the same sale event.
I've paid for it already, had a decent window of...
Anyone picking up a truck or something with lots of empty cargo space in the next few days? Could you to pick up and hold for a day or two an electrical shelter from Ft Meade?
I can come get it from you just about any evening or weekend, just want to avoid missing time at work to make the GL...
Anyone going to Ft Meade with some trailer and yard space in the next 10 days?
I have to pick up a 1000lb 51"x64" steel box, I'd really like to do it in more flexible hours than GL's. I can pick it up any evening or weekend, so you wouldn't need to hold it longer than time of pickup to that...
Hopefully this isn't a tired question, I couldn't find it in a search. I'm sure I can't be the first to think of this, though.
I can't find a good fuel filter replacement for my Mep geographically near me. I want to get it fired up tonight, and Lowes/Home Depot have the heating oil filters on...
Heading to Chambersburg and Ft Meade Tomorrow - Bueller?
I'm in Chester county PA, heading to Chambersburg in the morning tuesday 1/31, then Ft. Meade for the afternoon, then back home.
Anyone with a small item in need of hauling, like a MEP, let me know, I can help you out for some fuel...
edit: This is just about worked out.
I'm looking for a hand hauling up a trailer from Ft. Meade to PA...
Any chance someone local to Meade could pick it up and keep it in their driveway for a day or two?
I can meet just about anywhere on the route from PA to Meade.
Also, I need to pick...
Anyone win some today?
I bid on several, didn't win any. Seems like they were much higher than I've sen in the past. Is that about right, or am I just not used to the prices? I could swear I've seen 003's go for under $1000 several times in the past year.
I gotta give Matt a big thumbs up. Next recovery I do there, I'll bring a box of donuts or a coffee.
I had a scheduled recovery that went ultra-quick, then a slightly more complicated, unscheduled recovery I wanted to squeeze in the same trip, and Matt was very cool about it. He had his work to...
I have one M101 to recover from Chambersburg, and two to recover from Maryland. The MD units are waiting on an EUC clearance, but the Chambersburg unit is ready to go.
Anyone nearby Chambersburg that can pick that one up and park it for a few hours? I just need to be able to come get it after...
