I replaced the belt, belt looked to be in decent shape. Tightened belt and noise has gone away. I purchased 2 belts, so I have a new replacement on hand, and in a pinch I have the old still if I ever needed it.
Additionally I went through and tightened hose clamps on the lower radiator hoses...
its a reset with 1400 hours.
I went ahead and bought 2 replacement belts already. Belt only is noisy on startup, I’m guessing that’s when there is most draw on alternator causing the old belt to slip. I’ll closely examine the belt and look at any alignment issues too. But I figured it won’t...
It runs perfectly after calibration!
thanks Kurt for the help and for such a great product!
now to figure out my belt squeal on startup and my coolant leak..
Gentlemen!
First, the good:
got my 803 semi installed. My current setup is temporary until I get my 12’x20’ shed built, at which point I will move my generator in there.
I went with @kloppk ‘s remote start and Generac board. Installation was easy and he was quick to respond when I needed...
I love this idea! My garden tractor doesn’t have a 3 point but I can put a Jack on it. What’s you use for the axle? I tried to send you a message but I don’t think I have enough posts yet
I am recreating the font that was used in mine. A bit painstaking and definitely overkill. Like I said earlier, I’m pretty certain the stencils used on mine came off of a Marsh stenciler (at lea at same font). It would not surprise me if someone on the forum has one just cause they’re cool...
I used a laser cutter to cut the stencils.
In my research it looks as though the used a Marsh Stenciling machine to make the stencils. very cool tool. I have tracked down a font (Just search Marsh stenciling font) that looks similar but not exact. I don't know font definitions very well, but...
Hey gents,
I found artwork for stencils here:
https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/generator-painting-and-stenciling.193532/
I cut them out and compared them to my genset and the font is different. Could this be a case of mine being a reset?
thank you for this suggestion! I plan on doing nearly this. I will make a version for SS but also an excel sheet that can be shared. I also want to include page numbers in TM’s, links to YouTube videos, and links to SS pages where replacing that specific parts is discussed/shown. I will do a SS...
Good day gentlemen! (and gentlelady if you're here:LOL:)
I started this thread to be a guide to new MEP'ers like myself (ill pickup this weekend).
I want this thread to serve as a list of parts that the brightest minds on SS thinks we should all have on hand!
Now, this is not a place to debate...
Wow! I would love an AMMPS but I think ill give them a few more years. Light having previously owned it certainly gave me comfort, but like chainbreaker said, its still a 30 year old machine (older than I am:ROFLMAO:). Im actually confident it would work fine for me but as youve said, there are...
