Hello and how are you all doing . It's been a while since I had a chance to work on this . I went back to work and my free time has been used doing everything else at the house and my job . So, this is about as far as I managed to get on the job . If I have this correct, this should be for the...

good day chainbreaker how are you. well for starters my troubleshooting electric isnt the greatest. I bought the machine off of Government liquidation years ago and it was sitting under the deck at my previous home. ( im 6' tall and there was room above me ) This home has well water as to my...

good day chainbreaker how are you. Yes I am trying to do this so I can figure out , or at least try to figure out how to make the machine more reliable. As these machines age out parts will become harder and more expensive to replace. I did opt on this mod to buy an inexpensive avr to keep...

not to prove how much I dont know, but I need those 6 wires to trip the breaker when overloading it?

heres the info I have on the avr

Thank you chainbreaker, this will help me remove wiring in the connection box no longer needed. I have removed several items, if the wire went from CB1 to either S6 or A4 for example that wire started and ended in the in the connection box and is no longer of any use. I can remove obsolete...

Okay, so im attempting to change my 003a machine over to an sx460 avr. I was in the garage today and i need a little help understanding the connections on the back of CB1. I am trying to use the machine in 240v 1 phase configuration, and want to eliminate the 1 lug on the connection box. I am...

Next thing i would like to look into is instrumentation. Im not planning on using the oem gauges as they fail too often for me. I have bought several over the years and a takeout gauge wasnt too expensive to buy, but the last time i did the price had gone up. I found some inexpensive gauges...

Hey scoobyshep how are you. I had some time today I was out in the garage working on the connection box. So to my surprise, I did find something that may have caused the unit to stop making power. My Polaris connectors are not here yet and I was looking at rustystuds drawing. I figured why...

Good day and how are you all doing. Well, I bought an sx460 off amazon and that arrived. I ordered the Polarus connectors, still not here. So I was out in the garage last night stripping out the connection box from the 003a. So far I have the voltage selector switch out, ct1&cvt1 transformers...

Thanks Chainbreaker. I might be asking you some questions later on about this drawing.

Chainbreaker agree with you on that, one of my parts units i Had a mouse got into the reconnection box and destroyed the harness . Plus the switches for voltage selection needs to be cycled periodically to clean the contacts. Too much garb in there to go wrong.

One other thing, The double Delta connection that i copied from Craigs post is different from the one in the TM. Different in which leads are connected. see TM5-6115-584-12 pg 62 I dont know how much of a difference that makes as I am not an electrician and have no idea how to rewind an...

Good day Scoobyshep. I was running the generator on a normal startup and checkout not actually using it. I heard a tick noise and the gauges went flat. Im at the point with this machine that if I cant get it to make power Im going to machine a flywheel adapter, buy a bellhousing spacer, and...

good day chainbreaker how are you. I contacted rustystud and he said the information was lost due to the post being so old.

Looking at schematic in TM 5-6115-584-12, pg 62 i think Craig used this double delta connection. T8 & T10 tied together and tucked in his harness. I will need a 2 wire Polaris connector for this. T2 & T4 tied together and tucked in his harness. I will need another 2 wire Polaris connector...

Next Im looking at are the 3 wires coming off the center of the terminal block. Im guessing they are going to the sx 460. any idea what he did? Thanks, metalworker393

Good day scoobyshep ,how are you. I would appreciate your help with this if you can. This mod was done several years ago by Craig A Tull. His post was titled Civilizing the MEP 002A This is how i would like to wire both my 002a (currently running) and my 003a ( currently not producing any...

if rusty should happen to look at this again, what did you do in the control cubicle?

Hello Scoobyshep, Im trying to eliminate all the garb that goes bad on these machines. I have no use for 3 phase power, and always run my 002a in 240v configuration anyway. I can get an sx460 fairly easy and if it goes bad i can replace it fairly inexpensivly. Im trying to get my 003a repaired...
