I have a MEP 701a with the one lung Onan, 234hrs on the clock great running gen, only the charging system seems to be offline. I tried to get the TM's From LOGSA but they are not avaliable to the public. Does anyone out there know if there is a fuse somwhere on the unit for the charging system?
The Manuals in question here are still "Classified" and not avaliable to the general public.... just like the manuals on the M1031 Contact Truck and several other pieces of equipment.... Hopefuly one day they will be avaliable....
Have you had the engine running yet? That looks like a 4 cylinder 65 horse Wisconsin air cooled. Good engines.... as to the Gen portion I would start the engine and see what happens.... and take it from there.
Well to answer a couple questions here..... First off on the pulling off the end thing.... the way it was rigged had something to do with the survival of my winch.... the center of the cable had been trimmed and was not in the origional .... I gotta watch it from now on though I got my...
The second tank was a bit more of a PITA..... same diameter but 2 compartment and 40 foot long..... Had to chain the truck to a tree, ran a 2 part line.... she came out .... cables were twanging pretty good.... kinda added to the pucker factor it the fact I had left the winch in gear last time I...

I have been working on a Benmar - Hupp Heater 20k BTU I can get it to fire but when operating it makes a "Growling" noise (Noise is more pronounced on High Heat) . it is NOT bearings or fan noise. it is the way fuel burns. The heater is brand new (Well right out of the box) I have the manual...
Well it has been a bad day..... While driving home from town I start to hear a rattle comming from the floor area of the truck I pull into the nearest gas station. Once I get stopped I smell the "Magic Smoke" smell.... (No NOT that magic smoke) grab my tool roll and run to the side of the truck...
I dont know if this will violate any site rules or not if it does I apologize in advance....
I am home from Afghanistan this summer and we are doing some clean up around the farm. I have a early '70's Mack Postal truck. The truck is wasted (MI Truck rusty ect)But the engine "Ran When Parked" ...
Karl, I am pretty sure they are either glued or epoxied in there. I would cut the center out of the panel, Then take the remainder out one side at a time.... I dont know of any solvents that would dissolve whatever is there with out doing more damage than it is worth... (That is even if you...
