Next Im looking at are the 3 wires coming off the center of the terminal block. Im guessing they are going to the sx 460. any idea what he did?
Thanks, metalworker393
Good day scoobyshep ,how are you. I would appreciate your help with this if you can. This mod was done several years ago by Craig A Tull. His post was titled Civilizing the MEP 002A This is how i would like to wire both my 002a (currently running) and my 003a ( currently not producing any...
Hello Scoobyshep, Im trying to eliminate all the garb that goes bad on these machines. I have no use for 3 phase power, and always run my 002a in 240v configuration anyway. I can get an sx460 fairly easy and if it goes bad i can replace it fairly inexpensivly. Im trying to get my 003a repaired...
I was looking at Rustys post on his mod. He states he used an " sw460 " avr. I could not find a sw460 avr for sale but what sx460 would work.
I am also guessing that I could use a connection box from an 002 machine as most everything will be removed ? ( planning on installing on an 003a...
Okay, I measured a spare flex disc that had out in the garage. This is a scale measurement, but it looks dead on if you turn the disc so the flat is on a 45° angle
Hello and how are you all doing. Do any of you have the bolt pattern on the flywheel that the 1/4-20 bolts go through for the flexplate ?
I can't find any drawing on the web for this flywheel. I looked for Delco patterns but could find nothing. Is there any drawing on this that the military...
Thank you for your response. Bell housing is a #4 and flywheel is a Delco.
Can't find a Delco flywheel drawing and that design is obsolete.
I can now measure my 002a and work from there on getting the 003a set up.
This has been extremely frustrating trying to get this repaired .
Hello and how are you all doing. I was messing around with my 003a again and still can figure out what's wrong with it and why it won't make power.
Thinking I might go to plan b.
What I would like to know is if the face of the bell housing to the face of the flywheel is the same between a 002...
Craig's set up , he has the machine running on 240 volt, single phase. He eliminated the selector switch, cvt 1 and 2 , I believe the bridge rectifier , the reactor and I think the main breaker.
What do all the symbols on his drawing mean ?
Hello and how are you all. Its been sometime since Ive been on here. Alot has been going on and I have been very busy.
So, this winter I want to get my 003a in the garage to see if I can get it to make power again. What I am interested in doing is setting it up like Craig Tull did. I want...
Chainbreaker , thanks for your response. I was looking at a battery kill switch I saw on Amazon, not too expensive and rated at 1000 amps but only for a few seconds.
I have my batteries off the skid in two plastic boxes . I had an oversized fuel tank made after hurricane Sandy years ago. Now...
Good and how are you all doing . Quick question- what are you guys using for a battery disconnect switch for the mep 002/003 generators ?
I have marine type battery terminals on my genset but I would like to add a disconnect switch .
If someone can provide a switch with a p/n I would...
Hello chainbreaker, thanks for the reply.
This is not a new unit to me. I've had this one for some time now . It was producing power , I had it running and getting ready to do a load test to exercise the machine, then it just stopped making power .
I hooked a 12 volt battery to TB3-5 & 6 and...
Hello and how are you all doing g . Haven't been on the forum in some time, had a lot going on.
So, I'm looking for some help . I can't get this 003a to make power. Is there anybody in New Jersey that can give me a hand with this unit ?
I've tried everything I can do to check the unit out...
