Thank you for that one. I'm still laughing about it. About choked on my sweet tea.

Do keep in mind that that after drinking your German beer our 3.2 may not quite be up to par.

Now who could pass offer up like that. I've noticed that there are quite a few of us in Oklahoma/Kansas area. We could definitely keep someone entertained for a good bit. So Mr Guy, go west young man.

Well Guy come to Oklahoma, we can start our own surplus dealer business. We can call it no mountain surplus, prairie surplus, wind blows all time surplus. It would definitely be change in scenery.

I requested quote. But as BadRobot stated his quote of $5700 is ridiculous. Since they still have military contract I guess they can maintain these prices. I for one would not ever pay that much for a fiberglass topper. $$$$$$$$$$$$ was the accurate price.

I'll try and get quote tomorrow and will follow up with details afterwards.

Guy you are always so willing to help. I appreciate the offer. Funny I thought you were in Germany, oh well check is in mail.

I can attest to that. I had a bit of inverter issue and unit was still running while a couple of capacitors were on fire or at least having melt down.

When you say $$ do you really mean $$$$$$$$$$$? Or just $$? Can you quantify? Just idea of price range of new one. They look really cool.

Would it not be possible to make oil pressure before unit it actually started? If it has frequency input that has high enough range 254hz from pma you could that to verify run Or you could just use the 24vdc permissive power to governor speed control through k12 relay which in effect is oil...

That was my thought as well, only that the contactor was not functional. Not familiar with dual gen sets on trailer but is there an interlock that prevents you dumping both gens on same bus. If so it could be preventing contactor from pulling in. Just food for thought.

Very cool, I am going to sale my panelview 550 that I was thinking of using for some of same applications. These would be way easier to configure and have a much better suite of options. I signed up at DSE website, so I can get more of the information that they would not let me get to without...

I agree with the savings, but seems like all I do is buy more gens and need more parts and save more money to buy more gens...............

The sad thing is with GSA auctions anyway, in particular forestry service auctions, that the equipment may sit exposed to elements for years before GSA gets around and auctions them off. The thing I most interested in watching how long before these actually come up on block. At the sites (GL) I...

True by NEC. Terminology 101 Lol. All of our skids are "grounded" with external wire, even if welded to deck. Little known fact that loose electrons are attracted to the green of the wiring insulation and will orderly march way over to ground wire during fault. Hence need for ground.

Hey I appreciate the offer may end up making some modifications to pintle hitch on one of the trailers. So will need it. Here is another use for it. Redneck trailer mounted gen set. Pales in comparison to one that I saw was being held hostage. Oh and don't tell me about an LMTV. I'd have to...

That's why I'm always hesitant to try explain. I work in offshore oil industry. We bond all equipment to deck. The structure is the ground. When I said bond I mean ground lug to ground rod as well as "visible ground tapped to structure. No bolt thru's." Neutral is only bonded to ground at one...

Uses #280 & #281 for retired trailer. Work platform for installing trim under car port and sawhorses. :D

I would also bond the trailer and the generator ground together as well to be on safe side and inspectors like the ground that they can see. The reason it is so important to ground your gen set before running is as follows: Lets say L2 shorts out to frame of generator, what would happen...

It would be nice information to know, however it is going to drive price up, be an interesting experiment. Will cost offset buying known good machines? Will the big boys with deep pockets swoop in? I will be watching, no interest in buying, shipping being the limiting factor. Few other thoughts...
