Guyfanf,
You Are A Fountain of Knowledge on these gen sets. Have enjoyed all of your post, still on pg. 27 of the generators.
Paper work: They both are identical.
Army TM 9-6115-641-10 circa 30 DECEMBER 1992
Inside cover: CHANGE NO. 1 TM 9-6115-641-10/TO35C2-3-456-11 circa 30 December 1992...
No sir, I was never in the service. That was all the documentation that was in the doors of the units. There was a coil of aux fuel hose that was very stiff and still had the green tape around it. Each gen set has three sections of ground rod bolted to the skid and both sets of 3 unions with...
By your location, looks like you could use the "Winter Kit" more than me!!! It really crowds an already crowded space. It would be nice to know it's travels from birth in 1998, to the heater install on 09/2001 by Radian Inc, to how it ended up in San Antonio Texas, then finaly to me in Lake...
Not going to get into the tire debate. Just know that they are very heavy!!!! Pulled one off as a red neck theft deterrent 😎. All the fluids have been drained one both. The back one (2) has the overflow nipple at the radiator broken. Missing the overflow cap. Fuel tank has a layer of sludge in...
Falstaff, sorry that you had one let loose on you!!!
Made it home with no issues, Stopped every so often to check the tires and bearings. The tires were no warmer than the trucks and the bearings were barely warm to the touch with bare hands. Kept the speed between 60-65 mph, They arn't Z...
By the paper work, it is a circa 1997 M116A? Very much has STEEL fenders and deck. Temp mag lights stuck real good!!! Used two zip ties to make a two loop lanyard and used one of the lifting rings to secure.
Thanks all for the reply's!!!

Vise grips. -Check
Learned a long time ago it is easier to do the pre-trip checks in a driveway than to work on these things on the side of the road!!!
P.S. GOT TO LOVE THE GREAT STATE OF TEXAS!!!!!

A trailer would be nice!!! All my other trailers have boats on them or are too small. My F-350 is not set up for a goose neck either. Tongue pull it will be!!!
First I would like to thank everyone here for a wonderful forum. Have spent way to many hours reading all the different posts.
I have been kicking around the idea of a standby generator for awhile and stumbled onto the MEP series of gen sets. My wife and I both drive diesel trucks, so a diesel...
