I'm excited about getting the load bank done and posted. I believe it will be helpful for others and my load bank all fits in a tote and can be stored easily. I don't have the space for an old electric range or two!

Its been a while since a updated everybody on this thread but due to that pesky day job and family crisis I was put a bit behind. I was finally able to get that old exhaust pipe off and as you all pointed out, all it took was a (proper) torch and about 2 minutes of heating and it came right...

Good point! Thanks!

I think now that she's running I will revisit the notion of changing the exhaust. I would much rather the exhaust fumes go up instead of down as it is currently configured so I believe I will be trying as you suggested to get that off.

I had a ground attached to the trailer frame which is attached to the ground lug. When I test with my transfer switch I will be sure to move the ground/neutral bonding bar for that test.

And a very smart one too!

Coming up with a load test plan. I do have a transfer switch which I use with a 7kw gas screamer with some circuits such as sump pump, furnace blower, lights, TV, etc and so I will be connecting to that. After that I was going to try to locate someone that has an electric range that I can...

Yep, ok I just found it and now it looks much better!

Yes, I noticed that as well. Is it as easy as turning the dial?

OK, so I went and put some fuel in my MEP and fired it up with no issues (so far). Here's a video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uyx2AIzXeb8&t=8s @Guyfang, I didn't 'protect' the wires yet from rubbing so be nice to me! I just had to start her up!

Regarding my exhaust. What they (The National Guard Guys) did was put steel plumbing for the exhaust which is fine as it is angled down. The issue I am having now is it is so rusted on there that even after doing some penetrating oil on I can't get it off. Now granted I am not giving it my...

Excerpt from the actual quote sent to me: Is it OK for me to post the company?

First AGM battery is charged, second one on the charger. I couldn't resist to turn her over and she wants to go so after the second battery is on I will be off for some fuel and to fill the radiator and give her a try! I did get the all important 'Quad Winding' fix in:

Does anybody remember the $100 hammers and the $600 toilet seats and the $3000 coffee makers that the government was paying for back in the 80's? Well right after I got my MEP home, I reached out to a company that distributes parts for the MEP's and asked for a quote for the exhaust flap. I...

Yep, pretty straight forward! Thanks!

Not yet....need to charge the batteries. But hey, I swapped the switch after just getting home from having three tooth extractions!

You guys are awesome! I have it wired and yes, I made sure the wires were clearly marked which also included where the diode was/is connected! Sure is great finding people to ask questions!

While I was taking the old switch out, I didn't notice this jumper. It looks like one is pre-installed on the new switch between 4 & 8. Is that correct? That is how I installed it.

I received my new Master Switch. It is a Version 2 switch by Kraus & Naimer with the blue square base which will be replacing the Version 1 switch with the blue round base. What's the best approach in doing this swap? I see that the wires are marked but before I start disconnecting I will...

This is great info! While I wait for my Master Switch, I will be looking at these items to fix.
