This has been a long debated topic, but I was always taught not to float synchronized transmissions which has been reinforced by every transmission rebuilder I've talked to. Sure you might save some clutch wear, but at the cost of premature syncro wear. Clutches are cheaper than transmissions...

Btt.

So how did you do it?

Welcome. They are fun machines. The forum for those is Motorcycle's and ATV's

If you are just trying to see what the RPM is for testing purposes, you can use a regular M-series Tach like on your M818 or M35A2. The tach drive and cable should match up

Ditto. 2 Group 31s or the batteries from your deuce will be plenty in warm weather.

Nice looking M915A1, still have the original M915A1 as well?

AMD is the best in my experience. Used them on my M1009 and was quite happy.

Nice lineup, but where is the M125A1? :jumpin:

Very good progress nonetheless. Looks great

Looks cool. Are you planning to cut the bed out to fit the engine?

I've seen a Miller Big 40 mounted on an M200A1 before. Looked like they either used existing holes in the trailer or drilled new ones. I guess it depends what size generator you are trying to mount

As I understand it, AM General uses body adhesive for part of the assembly of the body themselves

Apparently the -208 is the Army version and the -012 is the USAF version. Similar units but still some internal differences as well as the -208 being skid mounged and the -012 trailer mounted. If anyone has access to -012 manuals that woukd be extremely helpful.

https://radionerds.com/index.php/MEP-208 I checked the site section for the MEP-012A manuals already, but I may have missed them. All of the -208 manuals appear to be there. Still not quite sure the differences yet.

Thank you for the LO. I just looked up the MEP-208A and quickly glanced over the specs and they appear similar. I'll have to compare it to my units when I get back to the shop. I'm not sure what the differences are, or if its simply a redesignated MEP-012A? I do see the manuals for the MEP-208A...

Does anyone have any info or manuals for the MEP-012A 750KW Generator? These were largely used by the USAF and powered by a V12 Cummins 1710 CI. The only info I have found is a training video on youtube. Thanks

I was going to ask how everyone was slaving generators over with external batteries and connecting battery connectors. Is electrical taping the terminals together enough? Or is removing the terminals, bolting the lugs together, and then covering in electrical tape preferred?
