Hi Folks. New to the forum. Hints on the 831; Oil filter is a screen. Pull clean and only replace if it has a hole in it. Safe is pull it every other time. BII includes a 90 degree fitting and hose so you may use to drain oil. Main gen removal: Use a document protector between the rotor...

Shhhhh. Folks ain't supposed to know that kinda stuff. Not allowed to say Patriot. Some G man will get upset. You signed a Non-Disclosure agreement like me. Never saw that exit the gen set happen but we did have pictures to reinforce to Students not to stand in that area on all the...

The attached parts lists have helped for a long time. They are up to date as of July 22. Everything is Distribution Code A as reflected from the source document which may not be a manual. Each list follows the parts manual, and reflects fig and item number, usually a part number, but not...

Heard about that one. That heater was something else. Worked great if you followed the TM and crossed the fingers. Only high blown fire ball i have had the privilege to see came outa a 30KW turbine gen. This item came to us from the Air Force. They wanted it in one of the Missile systems...

Loading TQG Main Gens and Contactors. The gen is rated at 5KW. I do not recommend for long periods of time to go over 100% load. The main gen windings in all TQG gens will over heat, expand, and you wind up with a birds nest as it chews up the rotor and stator and exciter windings. The...

Attached is a Dist Code A drawing. I am allowed to send this. Measurements are in Inches. Please use from Tech Manuals under the generators TM 9-6115-642-24P Fig 6 item 18 as your reference for PN: 88-20008. This is an XB part that was never produced for normal requisitions. The engineers...

Me a lowly little Retired 2 Maintenance MOS Warrant Officer who made CW4 with 3 masters degrees and 4 master mechanic certs and a retired CECOM P&E LAR Master Tech and Action Officer for the Planet. I made the info, so i gave it to you so you stay the Guy like you supposed to. Can't mess with...

Good day: In the words of my mentor; GOOD DEAL! I have been using 0W40 in my private autos for 20 years. I also live in Europe. Works great. In the ARMY junk I have been too busy using TAACOM approved lubricants, mainly 15W40. Interested on your AOAP results.

I got that multimeter at SEARS at FT Bragg. Worked for a while, but nothing beats the Fluke 112 or 175

Good Day: Had to read this all several times. Lets mess it up a bit. A B model TQG using a JD engine shutting down after 4 Hours running time all by its self. It just ran 4 hours no problems. As a TQG shuts down from another issue, the low oil pressure indicator comes on as engine RPM...

Good Day: You can test if this is the issue. Use the info Guyfang posted and find the 006 schematic. Its hairy. Without research i believe it will be pins D and E but that will take a few to research and the idea is to follow the wiring back from the speed switch a few inches you can use a...

Some of these attached could be helpful. Got one for every size gen

I have seen several battery issues. Attached are batteries to generator listing. If no one has an extra front panel let me know as I have the tech drawing so one may fabricate one.

I played with these and eventually you get it to work again. If you get tired look into PN: 31907LW for a newer one.

OK, there was no parts they put in the Gen manual or engine manual for the Battery charging alternator regulator from Hitachi on the B model. It was a 35 AMP battery charging alternator that put out too much current popping the 30 AMP battery charging fuse or 25A breaker causing a free...

I recommend you research posts Guyfang posted. He posted everything you need. Step 1; What type do you have, TRC or Libby. (TRC black or green Libby regulator). only replace with same type. Step 2: PN: 19870 is TRC, and PN: 122-3054 is Libby. This is just the regulator. DLA Avaition...

Fermont built the 803. As Guyfang and others have said, cheaper to throw away, and get a newer one that works. The schematic in another post looks similar to the tech drawing I have on file. OEM VRs were riveted. No repair authorized for field maintenance. Many have tried, and some have...

If you are into just plane Gen noise, stick your head in the side of an EPP running at 130KW looking for an oil leak. Better is giving a class, in a test cell, on a GTE-1500 running at 40,000 RPM and opening the bleed air valve and being told by hearing conservation they measured 160 DB. They...

Had the occasion to fly into a FOB to help Soldiers fix a system with two 006s on a flat lowboy. TQGs coming in in a month. Got em going, and with no place to stay so I took a nap between them on the lowboy. Ear muffs on I had no issues and konked really hard as it was 2 days on the go. Got...

Good Day: Not intelligent, but here are a few tips. MEP803 is just a 10KW gen. If everything is 120/240 in your house, set it on that. You get the full 10KW but be careful not to load only one hot too much. Causes many things to occur that are not good. A MEP-1041 is an AMMPS gen. It is...
