I bought some stuff at an auction a couple weeks ago and ran across this unique looking shelter. I have never seen one like it before. It's about 5' tall inside, 64" wide and 81" long outside. It's totally rectangular, there are no wheel well cutouts like the S-250 has. It does have lifting eyes...

I found a great deal on a MEP-112a generator last summer. The seller included a 60Hz generator head from a MEP-003a generator for converting it over. I researched it and discovered that I would also need a different control panel and output box as well. I have a non-running mep-002a and found...

A while back I recovered an S-250 shelter. I'm finally back to the project and working on it. Here's a couple pictures of the shelter when I picked it up. It had some potential but needed some exterior work. We worked on the roof and got a first coat of green paint on it. The inside has...

Hello I was checking out my MEP-004a generator and it started right up but then dies. I noticed the low fuel light came on and it ran for a couple more minutes with the battle short switch on. I had been reading up on the mep-004a threads and had a few ideas of what to check. The main fuel...

Hello I picked up a small trailer mounted H1 heater this summer. I believe it was an air force unit used to preheat engines and shelters. It is NSN 4520-01-135-2770 P/N: 8227100 manufactured by Hunter back in 1983. It uses a single cylinder lister diesel engine to drive the burner unit...

Identify this generator trailer AN/MJQ-32 Dual 3kw Hello I picked up an interesting trailer the other day. I've seen trailers with dual 3kw Mep-701 generators, but this one has a bunch of extra brackets mounted to it. Does anyone know what else was on the trailer as used by the military...

Hello I just won the auction on a nice looking ctmgsa-15 kw generator. I'm very excited to get it going. I've been looking around cannot find a manual on it. Could anyone please help? It looks like a great unit. I found one of the smaller 5kw ones a few years ago and really like it. Thanks to...

I was looking for a heater I could add to my HMMWV now that winter is coming on. I've only got soft doors and with the helmet hard top it's got a lot of space to keep warm. I have this heater that I bought years ago and am not sure what it went to. Does anyone recognize this unit? I...

We occasionally have pretty cold weather in Utah, not the coldest, but enough that I would want to at least use a block heater. The Contact Maintenance truck is not used often compared to our daily drivers and may not be near a power outlet so I began gathering parts for the arctic heater kit. I...

Hello I just picked up a neat trailer with generator. Originally it came with two 5kw generators wired to a switch box. Apparently the DOD needed more generators in the 90s so they came up with these commercial trailer mounted generator set to supplement the MEP series. The trailer is really...

Hello Years ago I bought a 30kw generator. It sat for years as backup power at one of the state prisons. It's a Hol-gar CE-301-AC generator FSN 6115-077-8600. It uses a GM Detroit diesel 3-53 engine and I believe it's a Westinghouse generator end. I've had it running a little but the fuel...

Hello I just purchased a neat USMC Ground Expedient Refueling System from a collector locally. I'd always thought they looked neat but shipping it would have been expensive. It's the medium size system that originally came with 4 155 gallon fuel bladders, 2 dual 24v air compressors, 3 fuel...

I'm planning on a recovery trip to pick up a S-250 shelter tomorrow. I was planning on putting it on a M-101 trailer but I think it's an A2 model because it has surge brakes and CUCV wheels. Is it true that those are too narrow? My backup plan was to take our tilt deck car hauler down there, it...

Hello I never thought I'd end up posting about a HMMWV, but that changed a couple months ago. I was surprised how just how much they had come down in price from the initial offering last spring. I ended up with this 1995 M998A1. I wanted something that I could take the family out in, but the...

Hello I just scored my first HMMWV a few weeks ago and am trying to make it a little more comfortable for the family. The 4 door ones were going for quite a bit more money, so I ended up getting this two door model. I've found a helmet hardtop locally to put on it. It gets pretty hot out...

Hello I've been an occasional reader here for years but I think this is my first post. First off I would like to thank everyone who provides so much help to everyone, I've usually been able to solve any problem just by reading posts here. I bought a nice M1031 from a university auction...
