    220v 1-phase HVAC unit reliability

    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...

    Arizona to Pennsylvania, need a vehicle hauled

    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!

    Chambersburg to Philly area, or off hours pick up near Chambersburg

    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...

    Picked up an M715 recently. Can't find the TM here, though.

    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...

    Backhoe and deuce moved 25 miles in PA

    I need a Ford 555 backhoe moved 25 miles in southeast PA, and then possibly a deuce. This would most likely not be at the same time.

    Abandoned deuce in southeast PA...?

    I went to look at a backhoe at a commercial property, and there was a rusty old deuce behind it. It was not the backhoe owners. He said it appeared there 10 years ago, and the landlord wants it gone, but no one knows whose it is. It's not sitting like it was stolen and parked, its like it was...

    Anyone win a Gichner Shelter out of Tobyhanna last week? Want to sell it?

    I'm hoping someone bid on several and won more than they want... I need one, but was unable to get back in and up my bids on the ones that remained closer to closing. If you bought several unintentionally and are now ringing your hands trying to figure out how you'll pick them all up, please...

    MEP-80x lack of used parts...?

    I need several MEP-80x parts, and find the classifieds to be lacking much content for these gennies. The stuff I need is nuisance little parts, not worth buying 100 from the manufacturer or government-priced $50 nut and bolt assemblies... With all the bad ones (over 40 I've counted!) to sell at...

    Lister Petter LPW2/4 or Onan DN2M/DN4M freeze plugs

    I'm looking to buy a block heater, but don't know the size and can't find it in any manuals. Anyone have an idea what size these plugs are? I don't think I'll be able to measure mine until Tuesday, and want to place the order asap.

    GovPlanet photos

    Anyone else seeing an issue where the photos don't actually show up beyond the first 5? I was looking at some listings today, and found that it said there were 72 photos, but as I tried to view them, they never showed up, just the initial 5 or 6 on the listing page. I clicked the links in the...

    Mep-802a, 803a, 002a, 003a air filter flow

    I need to replace an air filter housing for one of my units, and am going with something generic. This thread was originally asking if anyone knew the max cfm of these gensets air filters, since it appears to be non-existent on spec sheets. I decided instead to look at the air flow...

    24v Battery chargers

    While it's not painfully difficult to separate our 12v batteries and charge them individually, wouldn't it be nice to leave them in the generator and just plug in a charger to maintain them when not running? Most 24v chargers are an arm and a leg. But, the ones designed for motorized...

    Mep-802a overload capacity

    I'm wondering if maybe these units can provide more than 5kw after all. I've been reading the engine specs, and it's stated to provide 8.5kw. I can't see the gen head consuming 3kw of inefficiency, so I'm thinking there's more to it. I ran mine loaded into a 4500w water heater element for about...

    May need a pallet hauled from OKC to PA

    This may be a long shot, but are any members travelling from the west coast or midwest to the east coast by the end of the month? I'm considering buying a pallet or two of items at OKC from GL, just trying to guesstimate shipping costs through the SS network to set my spending limit...

    M116 pickup Wednesday at New Castle. I have a little extra room.

    I can pick up something more if you can get me your pickup authorization and info by 10/21/14 night.

    Anyone have code inspection issues with their MEP's?

    I know a few of you have had them installed and inspected with no issues, just wondering if anyone has had one rejected by an inspector for no emergency stop, or any other reason they came up with. I just found out I definitely need a permit for permanent install, and I have lots of things I...

    M116 modifications for higher capacity?

    If I had an M116A3, with an axle and bearings that are rated much higher than the 2000lb limit, what would be some smart things to change to carry 3500lbs? I'm thinking springs and shocks at least. The tires are rated for over 2000lbs each, so I'm not worried about those. Ultimately, the...

    M116A3 covers and similar covers

    Anyone familiar with the M116A3 covers? I picked up a new-to-me M116A3 that had a cover crumpled up on the bed. I laid it out, then tried to install it, and find it's way too big. It has most of the matching tie-downs that follow the bed contours, but the dimensions are just way too big. The...

    2740lbs in an M101A2

    I just picked up a load of gravel, and they accidentally over loaded it. Figured I'd grab the opportunity to take pics and post them here, since we often talk about how much more the equipment can handle than it's rated to handle. I don't believe my springs are worn at all. This trailer barely...
