Not all starters are created equal. You usually get what you pay for quality wise. But even with a good name brand that cost a lot, that doesn’t mean it won’t go up in smoke that quickly either. But the chances are much more remote than the really cheap ones out there.

Would be nice if they engraved the Data Plates back then.

I like that you didn’t repaint the floor bracket. Still has what looks like boot marks on it!!!

Yes It was definitely made to live on a nice flat tarmac

I have seen these generators laying on their side, upside down and everything in between at the auction yards. Yes I know you mentioned the fluids were drained but I have bought a lot of things that said that, only to discover it wasn’t true In the video it did look like oil smoke but am...

That looks to me like an old agricultural trailer. You can tell the fenders were once much more of a flowing design than any military trailer would ever be. No tie down hooks or even remnants of them. Clearly it can handle a 500-1000lb log without any issues. Worth saving in my opinion...

Hawkers for sure Plus there's a Hawker Dealer 45 minutes away from me.

Last thread post was 8 years ago. Any link, if posted, would almost certainly be dead. Suggest you start your own thread and/or post any adapter needs in the Parts Wanted forum.

Well I still don't know what it is but now I want one. Mobile hunting shack!!! Thanks for the pics.

Any inside pics? More detailed outside pics? I’ve seen these before come up for sale. They were too big and too far away to capture my attention. Did you look back at past sales to see if any of these were sold?

I have a NOS gauge panel

Mounted a 250 gallon IBC tote on my Raytheon prototype Fire Finder Trailer. Also mounted a pressure washer to make a poor man’s fire fighting machine. Actually it’s for wetting the embers and not fighting the flames directly. Not enough water or volume for that. It’s been a deadly wildfire...

Exactly Don’t forget about our hail storms. Several storms last year with softball sized hail. Yes ………softball Going completely through the roof and ceiling and landing inside homes. That’s exactly why we have a metal roof. I spent the morning on the tractor getting rid of the downed...

Well generator is back in position. This Friday and Saturday are again two days of extreme fire threat with winds again in the 50-60 range and low humidity. When this threat is over then I have tornado season to deal with. Perfect

This is what I have. Bought it on govplanet three years ago. It was brand new and never used. Military paid $2979 for it. I got it for $150 It’s Diesel and I have ran it for about 30 minutes, using water so as not to ruin pump, then put it in storage. I keep meaning to get fittings and...

I watched a few stories on the LA fires where the preparation of a few home owners saved their homes. They all had pools, water pumps rigged with fire hose and generators. They pumped from the pools and ran them dry but saved their homes. Generators saved the food and kept the lights on...

I will admit that the MEP-002A is VERY loud. But when trailer is strategically placed behind shed, makes the world of difference. Forgot to mention I also removed, cleaned and sealed the engine oil drain valve. It had been slightly leaking ever since I’ve owned it.

I did rig up a spray trailer using a IBC tote and pressure washer. Will use this for the embers since it wouldn’t work for heavy flames. I was going to use my M149A2 but I haven’t gotten around to mounting the pump. I did move my all my other generators out of harms way.

Discretion is the better part of valor I will fight fires to a point because I’ve personally seen raging forest and grass fires both in New Mexico and Oklahoma. When and hopefully IF the fire wall hits here with 50+ mph winds, we will be be somewhere else. Not worth dying or getting scarred...

Well it might be needed again sooner than than later. Fires are still ongoing and another fire missed us by 1/2 mile yesterday, Monday, 17th Only the Super Scooper Fire Attack Aircraft, two were used, snuffed down the eastern line advance. They were banking hard right directly over my ranch...
