    M1102 Trailer: Generator mounts

    I'm pretty sure that's not a genset mount. I've got 1102's that had gensets and the mount looks nothing like that. In fact, I've never seen anything like that. You may have something rare and valuable. Before you do anything drastic, wait and see what you've got.

    1984 6.2 Oil

    Does anyone actually run these things enough miles between oil changes to justify better oil and filters? I know I don't. I use run of the mill filters and Rotella oil and change frequently. Except for my M925. I had several big trips line up close together and put like 5000miles on it...

    To Sand or Not To Sand

    They make glad hand air hoses available at any truck stop for $50ish. The deuce compressor will do it, but it isn't particularly happy about it. The 939series 5ton does it with much more authority. 12V air compressors are cheap and readily available and can be clipped to just one battery...

    To Sand or Not To Sand

    If the Gladiator will do it, the deuce will do it. Air down at the first hint of trouble, before you get dug in. If you're not concerned about originality, there's plenty of 24v winches. I've lived in Tucson.

    Suggestions on Tires:

    I'm going to second the suggestion to change to 395's. That said, I have two 14.00 XZLs on 5ton combat rims. Good tread, old date codes. Located in KS. I'll send you a PM.

    MEP802 on the House. What's going on here...

    Fluke meter and kill a watt are on the list. When I get them I'll run it again and update this thread with more and better data. It may be a bit as I've got multiple demands and I'm getting pulled several directions at once. Thank you everyone for the enlightenment.

    MEP802 on the House. What's going on here...

    Yeah, someone saw fit to remove it. I found a sticky square area . I'm going with the idea that the AC is just way too much for the genset. I just expected a different failure modality. I've overloaded an 802 with my plasma cutter and it simply fell on its face.

    MEP802 on the House. What's going on here...

    I've been using the twin to the one you got from me. No worries with capacity there. But I grabbed several of the 802's and wanted to see just how much load balancing would be needed.

    I'll have a look tomorrow and see if I can find a data plate on it.

    MEP802 on the House. What's going on here...

    Only with the onboard gauge. I'll get a meter and get after it at the box in the basement and see what we're seeing in the house. I'm still not really understanding why the 40 amp breaker didn't trip.

    MEP802 on the House. What's going on here...

    I cut the AC fan immediately. My philosophy is anything I don't understand is dangerous until I do. Transfer switch is preexisting with the house. Not my inexpert tampering. Electrician redid all of the wiring to include new breaker box in 2020. The house is all new wiring. The AC is new as...

    MEP802 on the House. What's going on here...

    I thought the same. I'd expect the breaker to pop rather than what I'm seeing.

    MEP802 on the House. What's going on here...

    I honestly didn't expect it to run the AC. I expected it to overload and shut off. What I'm seeing isn't what I expected to see. And yeah, AC is nonessential. Refrigerator and lighting during the summer months, and lighting and furnace blower during the winter months and I'd consider it...

    Turntable on the microwave, and outdoor cooling fan on the AC unit turning slowly.
