On December 9th I made a ~6 hour round trip up to Jerome, Idaho and bought from a police officer an MEP-531A he was tired of moving around for years and hadn't had it running in just as long.
Hour meter at time of purchase: 274.9 hours
The front panel needs some repair and it is only held on...

USA homes run 120/240v split, single phase (I believe that's the correct terminology). I have read multiple posts of very good information from @Isaac-1 about the MEP-701A/016B generator (the first military generators I've owned):

I would appreciate a little help diagnosing the problem of me not getting power on the output terminal and the Main A/C Circuit Breaker tripping with no load:
My 1986 MEP-016B (with ~784 hours) starts and runs great, even after a long period of sitting.
I have my generator configured in the...
Yesterday (Feb 04th, 2022) I purchased an MEP-803A 10kw mounted on an M116A3 trailer with the "Power Unit PU-798" body. I believe both were manufactured in 2003 and were rebuilt/reset in September 2010 and delivered in October 2010. The generator had 77.4 hours of runtime. It even still had the...
I just purchased a LifeSaver jerry can (designed and manufactured in the UK). It is an all-in-one hand pump water purifier in a jerry can platform and holds 18.5 liters (~4.9 gallons), which due to the internal hand pump and filter (and structure reinforcing holes) is just slightly less than the...

I saw a post by @patracy about a membership drive for $10 for a year. I have a current/active membership but I thought it was a great opportunity to get a deal and extend my membership. However, it appears the purchase will run concurrent to my existing membership instead of extending it.

Yes, yes I have purchased another trailer (purchased on September 5th, 2019). :whistle:
This trailer was listed locally about 15 miles from my home and I just couldn't say no to it for the price and condition. It is an M116A2 chassis with a Power Plant AN/MJQ-33 body sporting two 3KW MEP-701A...
I wanted to discuss a minor difference between a older style master cylinder (probably original) off my 1997 Pribbs M101A3 trailer.
First, a side-by-side comparison. The new one is (obviously) the shiny silver, which is the "marine" (wet environment) finish:
Part Number: 10614-M...
Well, I sold my 1968 M101A1 and, in favor of the surge brakes, bought this 1997 Pribbs M101A3 from Gunzy!
Obviously from the stenciling it places it as a former USMC trailer. It hardly has been used too, but not surprisingly the surge shock is bad and the master cylinder was dry and...
