    mep 802a -- mep803a source for panel meters

    Does anyone have a known source for the panel meters on the 802/803? Specifically, the 60 Hz meter, the % of rated current meter, and the AC voltmeter. All the others are fairly straightforward, but I'm having some difficulty in finding the above three. z

    crane, indiana ---- three good experiences

    The folks at Crane are easy to get along with and very helpful. The base is reasonable in terms of getting on although it is spread out over tens of thousands of acres with roads mostly going through the woods.

    fuel pump part number 802a/803a

    I have noticed that on some of the 802a / 803a gensets that there is a second type fuel pump. One type is the Facet cube that we all know and love(?), and the other is a round cylindrical pump. Does anyone have one with this cylindrical pump? If so, what is the manufacturer and pump model /...

    mep-802a -- brought back to life!

    I picked up some 802a's from Crane, Indiana in a recent auction. They all were missing a lot of parts and had some cut wires.. After some concentrated effort, I fired up one of them today (47 hrs) and it made electricity!! So I sat there and basked in the heat of the day for around an hour or...

    diesel fuel lift pump question(s)

    Trying to get a little education on diesel lift pumps... What is the relationship between GPH and PSI? (now, I know what the two are, just trying to determine how they interact with each other.) Can one compensate for a lower GPH with higher PSI? What effect does either higher or lower PSI...

    M1101 and M1102 question

    There are two ~2" square bars that go mostly across the front of the M1101 and M1102 trailer. They appear to have a pivot bolt on the outside ends but they also seem to be blocked by the Jerry Can holder. Can anyone tell me the purpose of those bars?? z

    mounting a 5 KW mep- 802a on a M116a3 -- need dimensions....

    I'm mounting an 802a on a M116a3 trailer. The mounting rail is already installed on the trailer but I'll have to drill some holes in the trailer mounting rail where the 802a skid attaches. So, all I need is the dimension from the rear of the trailer to the center of the first hole (rear most) on...

    removing an 803a generator assembly

    Has anyone any tips and experience in removing the generator head from an 803a? I'm sure there are some tricks to doing this and I'd like to collect as many of them as I can before I dig in.... thanks z

    802a AC interrupter switch

    Does anyone have or know of a source for the AC interrupter switch? I thought it would be easy to find, but I was wrong. Anyone have a 'work around' for that switch?

    rebuilding MEP802a fuel injectors??

    I finally got the 802a fired up, or at least it was spinning.. I disconnected wire #6 to the voltage regulator in advance 'cause I figured it would need to crank a while, and I wanted to address getting the engine running and at this point I don't care if it generates any electricity at all. I...

    using advanced search

    I can't seem to make the advanced query work properly. Since it doesn't work when using the advanced search form, has anyone been able to find a way to make it work? Specifically, one can do logical AND searches on keywords, but I can't seem to make it work on logical OR searches.

    need parts manual for mep804a -- TM-9-6115-643-24P

    First, this manual does not down load from LIBERATED MANUALS. I stopped the download from them at 20Mb since any other manual I got from LM was around 2Mb. I'd contact LM, but there didn't seem to be any contact info. So, if anyone has a copy of TM-9-6115-643-24P that they have downloaded...

    mep803a voltage regulator schematic - anyone got one?

    I have the general schematic and manual for the 803a. However I'm looking for the schematic for that "black box" voltage regulator (A1). I'm thinking that it just might be in some depot maintenance manual or perhaps someone has been able to reverse engineer one.... thanks z

    brand new surge brake unit for m101 trailer received

    Earlier this week I got a brand new Hydro Act brake surge unit with a 5 position adjustable hitch from Mendenhall Industries. My old unit was twisted in such a manner as to make it useless, and besides, I wanted to be able to use bulldog, pintle, and conventional trailer hitches on this...

    Just looking for any helpful hints at picking this up. Since I'll be driving across Virginia and West Virginia, do I need some sort of temporary Virginia tag or something? Any hints would be welcome -- never purchased from the GL before thanks z

    Wandered in from Kentucky

    Howdy y'all. I was looking on the web at some surplus trailers and generators, and I wandered on to this site. It looks to have an answer for about anything that one could ask. I'm from either northern Kentucky or south central Kentucky, depending on the season. Don't have any military vehicles...
