    M101 on-road weight capacity

    I'm looking into getting a cargo trailer to tow with my F-350. I want this to increase my firewood-carrying capacity. The M101 and M105 trailers can often be had cheaply on GL. I was looking at the specs of both trailers over on the Olive Drab website. Although the M105 is a "1 1/2 ton"...

    MEP-016E/MEP-016D Secondary Mufler selection

    I would like to add a 2nd, larger muffler to a couple of my generater sets. I was thinking that a smaller automotive type mufler might do the job,but figured htere was more to the selection process than just putting any old mufler on. I know that bigger isn't always better. What I want, is...

    MEP-016A/C,021A/c,026A/C (and other 4A032 powered sets) fuel line question

    I have an MEP-026C, and two DC4.2 ORD/28 APUs (28VDC Gensets). I got these from GL, and they haven't been run in a while. I tried to run the 026C today. I can get it to start with starter fluid, so I know the ignition and starter are both working OK. I can't get it to pump fuel from...

    4A032 Carburator -- rebuild or replace?

    I have three APU/Gensets with the 4A032 engine on them. I'd like to get these running, but would assume the carbs are probably all gummed up from sitting. Are rebuild kits available for these, or is it just best to replace the whole carb? Thanks, Jay

    3 Generators - just got home from Letterkenny - not good

    I looked forward to today with anticipation. I finally successfully navigated the EUC gauntlet, and made my pickup appointment of the three generators I "won" in sale #5014, two MEP-016B's, and one MEP-016A, all converted to Yanmar diesel engines. I'm guessing these are actually 2...

    EUC items from GL auctions and reselling

    Has anyone here sold an item you needed to file an EUC for when you purchased it? Does any paperwork need to be filed with the gov't? Also, when you all file your EUC, what do you put down for use? Personal? Resale? Etc? Do I need to put down resale if I think I might sell? I...

    24VDC Starting power connector on MEP's

    What is a good source for the male plug to connect 24V starting current to start an MEP (my MEP-026C, and two ORD/28's don't have onboard batteries, or a spot for one), just this big round connector with two round pins that appear to be about 6mm in dia. Thanks, Jay

    Yanmar Diesel Engine Service Parts

    Single cylinder Yanmar engines are used on many pieces of military auxiliary equipment, including, but probably not limited to generators, air compressors, and pumps. I have a couple of MEP-016D generators that have the Yanmar L70, as well as a civilian-issue L40A, and L100AE. Where is...
