we should be there. I'm on daywork for the next 5 months so I'll always have the weekends off from my primary job.

All four of us will probably attend

There is a separate ground wire. It isn't SO wire, so the ground wire isn't insulated, and therefore not counted when naming the wire 6/3. There are indeed 4 wires inside: black, white, red, and a ground wire.

Shoot, I didn't even realize I never posted this picture:

Thank you for the info on the panel that Northern Tool sells. I do want to avoid cheap parts if possible. I do like your advice on a Square D panel with an interlock kit. I can remove the interlock kit when I move out and it will look like a normal installation with nothing funky. I like...

I realize the 004 isn't rated to exceed 60 amps, but it could easily on a big surge, like well pump, air handler, and AC all kicking on at once. The 004 can surge more than 60 amps. The 003 probably could even surge 60 at once too. Plus, breakers begin to open at 90% their rated value, so I'm...

I realize the 004 will suck more fuel than the 003 and I am fine with that. I plan to feed it with a 275 gallon heating oil tank. Once I get this new rebuild motor on the 004, it should very few bugs.

I've looked at those already, actually. Around $500 for a 200 amp manual transfer switch that switches my entire load and then another $75 for a new panel for the house. Not a deal breaker there, at all, but perhaps the $470 Reliance panel that lets me utilize 100a of generator input and still...

Hmmm, found one of those Reliance panels that lets me have 100a input from the generator side... Reliance Controls TTV 38 Circuit 200Amp Outdoor Generator-Ready Load Center for Generators up to 25000 Watt: Tools : Walmart.com

Not really. What kind of updates are you looking for? Been working on my generator lately.

I have a working MEP-003a that I have not yet used to power anything larger than the two 120v outlets could handle on the control panel. In light of this hurricane we're currently being hit with, I have no problem hooking up a safe lockout panel to run stuff with a 25' cord from my MEP-003a...

Got a gantry setup today to remove the generator from the trailer and then the engine from the generator. I have a chain fall I can borrow but I'll probably buy one anyways.

Swiftwater kills. Don't mess with it. Like Fireman5199, I am an Advanced Swiftwater Rescue Technician and Swiftwater Boat Operator and have been on the river rescue team at work for the past 4 years as well as a couple dive rescue teams over the years. Moving water is extremely deceptive...

Thought about it rebuilding the ASK and I think it would be fairly easy. I can build a frame for the entire top with square tubing and I already have a sheet of 1/8" that I can use for the flat parts. The ASK would be the easiest fix and permanent solution...

It might be the easiest and cheapest option to rebuild the ASK...and quietest. I'll reconsider this option. I know I basically need to rebuild the entire top of it, fabricate the front tower, and fix a couple other problem areas. I also need to put new sound insulation inside (thanks for the...

I got all of the ASK off. It's in pretty rough shape and I did have to cut two of the cams that hold it together. If I decide to reuse the ASK, I'll fabricate a bolt on tab in those places, but at this point I'm fairly certain I'm not putting the ASK back on. I'll build a sheet steel housing...

Both Adobe Acrobat Pro and Adobe Reader 10.x tell me that the files are corrupted and cannot be opened. I've never had any trouble opening other downloaded files like that. Any chance someone could email them to me at juddspaintballs@gmail.com? I was outside fiddling with the generator...

You could pull electric heating coils out of HVAC units to do the tests. They usually come in 5k, 7.5k, and 10k banks at 240v so it would be easy to work a MEP-003a and MEP-004a with a couple of elements. My backup to the backup heat in the house is a 10k bank of electric heating coils, so...

Found the manuals on Jatonka's web page, but adobe and preview both cannot open the files. JATONKAM35S MEP GENERATORS TECHNICAL MANUALS PAGE

Got the rebuild you see above for $600 rebuilt in OSMS Oregon in April 2009. With shipping at $350, I've got $1300 into this generator so far but it should be practically brand new once I fire it up :) Still less than I paid for my MEP-003a sight unseen from GL. Just glad that one worked out...
