Quick question... Anyone have a pic of one of these units in action? I can't quite visualize how it sets up. Is it basically an in-wall unit?

Awesome, thanks!

Thanks, they all say "contains refrigerant". The appeal is the price and location. In the past, they've gone for a lot less than a consumer unit, and cheap enough to be throwaway. Of course, hidden costs of down time are relevant, too.

I'm looking at possibly purchasing an R22 milsup Air Conditioner. Model/Part No. S9150-18KH-1 These are 220v, single phase, 18k btu units. Looks like that's equal to 1.5 ton, which is a little more than I need. This unit will be used for primary cooling of a radio transmitter building. 64...

Thanks Don, I'll call you when I'm out of work and can talk on the phone.

Thanks for the suggestions guys, bummer it looks like it won't work out. I'm still looking, so more posts are welcome.

I need a CUCV hauled from southern AZ to PA, any time in the next three weeks after next week. Possibly sooner, but will be a little more complicated. Google earth says the trip is about 2337 miles. Anyone making an unloaded trip and able to send me an estimate and timeline? Thanks!

Did you work anything out? I need a vehicle hauled in the opposite direction, AZ to PA. Possible to reduce costs if both ways are loaded?

I need to pick up an aircraft stand from the Chambersburg site. It's 5' wide and 14' long according to the specs. If someone could pick it up from the site and store it, I can pick it up one evening. If no one's able to do this, I'll be making the trip next week, and can fit additional...

I have a fine mesh screen (basically window screen) over the air exhaust grid which keeps out large debris, and I keep a piece of plywood siding over half the opening. So hopefully, the drains will not clog because no debris should get through the screen, and snow will only fill half the...

I added soundproofing material to my 803 when I had it apart for some cleanup. It helped a lot. I added Mass-loaded vinyl to several panels, and inside the center upper cavity (where the contactor and current transformers are). I filled large gaps with expanding poly foam (Great Stuff) as a...

In the quest for load for my MEP-803a, I decided to build one into the machine. It's tough to see pics, but as I did other work "under the hood", I bought kiln heating wire, and coiled it in front of the radiator. Wire it into an additional contactor or the output lugs directly, and you have an...

I thought a lot about this in order to reduce electrical load on the genset, since I have an electric hot water heater. Somewhere, I have a schematic/drawing I made of an exhaust system with water coils that would capture reject heat and stay isolated from the genset; so no overcooling of a...

The ground is for safety than anything else, but actual safety, not lawsuit-protection safety. It's very dangerous to run any power generator ungrounded because you, or anyone obliviously touching it, can become the ground if the equipment is shorted or miswired by the user. I usually don't...

Thanks guys. I did sign up at the Zone a few weeks ago, but forgot all about it. I like the divorced tc, but yeah, I would like to replace it and get a little more highway speed. I'd love to put a diesel in it, too. I have thought a set of CUCV axles would be great, but that's farther down...

I checked the TM section and this one, could not find one for the M715. Anyone have a link, or maybe better eyes than I? No pics on the PC I'm using right now, but I will try to get a few up soon. I was offered it in trade, and had never heard of it. I was talked into it... It's pretty much...

Thanks! I would have liked it smoother finished, but it's more function than form. I need a control panel with a few gauges, the door/cover that goes over it, and a couple little things. I should get a few spare parts, too. I'll PM you when I get to work

Being impatient, I cut out a piece of plywood in the proper dimensions, and made it a door. The entire plywood is encased in fiberglass mat and resin, and the edges are angle-aluminum to provide rigidity and protection from warping or damage. The wet-looking edges are sprayed with "Flex-seal"...

Yeah, that's probably a good place for it. I remember there being freeze plugs on each side, and the starter-side plugs being a little higher. Putting one on the lower side is probably better for convective coolant flow. I looked into doing this for mine a while back, but opted against it...

You can pull a freeze plug to insert a block heater, that would be the most efficient thing to do. I've started 802's and I think my 803 in sub-freezing temps without preheating. The 802/3 seem to start much easier than the 002/3, though in warm weather, my 002 fires up pretty quickly. I can't...
