I have an MEP-805B 60HZ unit that is working great with low hours... IN 3 PHASE!!! my are bleeding from research trying to figure out if it would be reasonable to convert to single phase... I understand that the 005A was quite doable because it had a 12 wire gen head... I also remember someone...
Any simple way to wire an MEP-805B to a transfer switch allowing for exercising and transferring upon loss of street power and returning to street power once it returns stabilized?
In the alternative, can I convert my mep-805b into a mep-805a. I understand that such a unit allows for a relay...
You would think some tech savvy member could get into the business of repairing/restoring these units... the quote I just got for an NOS unit... sit down... $ 14,500.00...
Well, here is my sequence... MEP-805B Generator would not start and panel showed a fault. Arrow was unresponsive in display. after reading several posts (thank you) I developed enough intestinal fortitude to open "pandora's box". After opening and being quite pleased at finding no water...
who carries parts for an MEP-805B generator? I need an air cleaner cover + several other pieces. Is there a general source for parts for these other "green" toys? I have tried most of the usual suspects. Thanks
I feel like I am delving into secret passages that only those so licensed and permitted should dare... I have a Diesel genset that is working fine, it is a 15 KW unit, engine runs well and if exiter winding is juiced with 24 volts, we have 246 volts out both phase 1 and phse 2. pretty good...
How do I ask if another member recognizes a pic of my Genset? I have what I believe is a 15KW Diesel Genset with apparently low hours, but has not been run in many a year. I cannot find the ID plate since it was completly disassembled , prior owner was planning on sandblasting and painting and...
OK... I admit it... that first step in the M925A1 is a Bit%$ ... what have others done? Just got this thing... and during breakfast I was telling my wife... I must have pulled something... to which she replied... did you pick up anything heavy? I replied... the paper this morning, it was full...
While doing the complete go through of my new truck, I noticed that the horn was not operational. If grounded at the horn relay it would work fine. If I wiggled the steering wheel, once in a while it would do its thing. Tracing the wires we found that there is a connector at the bottom of the...
Just got my M925 and being in south florida, I know that a/c is a must. A couple of years back, I picked up two complete a/c systems from members. One is the red dot type that the condensing unit goes on the hump of a hummer and the other one, is the type that has a regular condensing coil...
Low mile/hour M925A1 truck needs to leave Richmond, VA and come down to Miami, FL. Working out the finances as I speak. Truck obviously has never (if at all) been run. I would be hesitant to do a shakedown trip thats over 900 miles long. Anybody with a trailer coming back empty? I am...
A friend wants my help getting this puppy going, but it has sat for a very long time. Looks very rough, but only 280+/- hours on the clock. I cannot find any id plate and I suspect that it was painted over many years ago and I cannot find it. I would guess it to be a 15-25 kw unit. The fuel tank...
Been thinking that I need one of those MK48's with a trailer unit. Been doing some research, but cannot find the manual for the units. Some of the GL info says that GL personnel will not re-attach the trailer to the cab. I have no clue, and may be biting off more than I can chew, but I can be...
My deuce Fire truck would start well and showed borderline green, but during a night response to a fire with all of the spots running as well as the emergency lights, even at a high idle, they got dimmer and dimmer until my battery voltage was under 18 Volts. Truck kept running... gotta love a...
I know members of tis group are resourceful and very capable... It is worth a shot... I bought 2 magnetic rollers for a conveyor belt, size is approx. 5' long, 22 inches diameter and weighing approximately 500-700 pounds. Items are on the ground at the back of the farm, but the property owner...
I have a very nice 818 that does not get as much use as it should because quarters are cramped. I am in Miami, FL and it gets HOT here. In mind I have a couple of projects...
1. Singling out the truck... already have the rims, beadlocks, and tires...
2. Putting in an a/c unit (have a brand...
After 818 sits for a couple of days, when I try to start, I have to manually pump the fuel. Holding the pedal about 1/2 of the way down, she starts right up but shortly thereafter, she dies and after repriming and cranking the engine for a while she then starts and runs like a top.I noticed...
Guys, on a separate note, don't forget to put your flag up for 9-11 in honor of those we lost-I have made a personal promise to always fly Old Glory as a reminder of who we are, of who we have been and more importantly those that made us so.
Pride in our Country is something we usually carry...
Well.... Doing testing on the pumping system of my M35 fire truck... 5 Ton is in great shape (or was) sitting on the sideline... My trucks are parked way out of the way at my site (wood yard)... this idiot pulling a 100 yard walking floor trailer took a shortcut... nicked my fender, hooked my...
