I would like to troubleshoot in my spare time....it is a nice crane. Based on my knowledge of military TM's (limited to gensets), I know they can be...

    Gov Liq Generator Working Ratio

    I won two MEP-003's from Ft Meade and 1 nice MEP-004ask from Chambersburg. Both 003's had less than 5hrs on the clock, very clean fuel tanks, were missing oil filters, missing batteries, no oil. Converted Oil Filters to Spin On (Thanks Speddmon), Converted Fuel Filters to Spin On (Local...

    Load Testing Gensets

    I completely understand the idea of wetstacking. I also understand how load testing works and the reasons it is done. As I stated in previous posts, I have no problem figuring out how to come up with a bunch of dummy loads if I wanted to accomplish a load test or an excercise. What I'm...

    Load Testing Gensets

    I get all the different ways you can come up with some dummy loads to test the generator, especially the 003's. I too have an 004 and with oil heat in the house and an indirect water heater, short of running my welder at full tilt just to creat a load, I'll be in the same boat as...

    Load Testing Gensets

    Stopped by the local NAPA and bought some filter bases from them and used wix filters. I replaced the fuel lines with some Parker Push-Lok hose and fittings from local hydraulic supplier. Pretty easy install.

    MEP 003A Pre Start Inspection

    Just picked up a couple of MEP 003a's. I've given them the once over as suggested by the many fine contributers to SS. I've replaced all fuel lines with new, after installing new civvy spin on filters. The big question, I've read about some people having seized IP's. Can anyone give me a...
