    10KW head found on MEP002A

    goldneagle, Decided to go ahead & deliver the generator with the 10KW head. Thought I'd post one of our load-out photos of the generator after everything was installed. Our Ford 3600 tractor lift started acting up today so we had to drag it over to our "sky-hook" (chain fall hanging...

    Lee, Would be happy to see you some of our rain...Just Monday past we had 3.65" (in one 24-hr period)...had to lock my hubs on the truck the other day just to get off my property & onto the street...

    10KW head found on MEP002A

    Jimc, This is the first time I had noticed the manufacturer's name for the gen head. When I googled it, I came across a couple generators that listed Bogue as the brand (vice Libby or JRH).... BTW, thanks on the job compliment. My son helped out alot on this one. Being for a family friend...

    212sparky, Uploaded the attached photos. 1st one--battery/fuel tank side view, 2nd pic blower end view, 3rd one showing gen head lkg toward fuel tank & last one showing a close-up of the generator data plate. Hope this helps to make my post not worthless! :)

    10KW head found on MEP002A

    leedawg--Was planning to do just that. We've been smothered with day after day thunderstorms out here and outside working conditions have been nothing but miserable. I have to travel out of state for the next few days so won't get back on the MEP job until this coming Friday. Hope you guys...

    10KW head found on MEP002A

    That sounds like a good idea but funds are not available for paying for a load cell rental. I could also set up a salt box pretty quickly, but haven't acquired a good Fluke yet either. As to pics, we've had steady rain here for several days now with no end in sight. I'll try to get a couple...

    10KW head found on MEP002A

    Not as concerned about keeping the 10KW head as I am being comfortable that the unit will function properly when it get's up to 6-7KW or so....Will the circuit breaker still trip as it's designed to for a 5 KW unit or did someone install electrical components designed for the MEP3 machine, thus...

    10KW head found on MEP002A

    Fits just fine--about 2"+ clearance between the rear of the meter box frame and the end of the head IWO the louvers...It was "normal" enough that I didn't notice anything out until I pulled the masking tape off the data plate on the head & saw the 10KW nomenclature...wasn't expecting this, hence...

    10KW head found on MEP002A

    I've already run this unit & everything functions properly--both DC & AC side. Just haven't done a full load test as we're still gathering parts to build a load cell. I'm inclined to keep this machine and just build another one that has the proper 5KW head. That way if I come across another...

    10KW head found on MEP002A

    So you're saying I don't really need a spare and if the unit functions properly, let it go with the larger head? Interestingly, this one was overhauled at the Tooele Army Depot a few years ago, so I assume they made the switch to the larger head...I just don't know enough about the electrical...

    10KW head found on MEP002A

    New discovery made today--as I was finishing up final preps for an MEP002A for a family friend, I pulled off the tape covering the generator head label plate and much to my surprise read that it was a 10 KW head (Bogue Electric model 7701). Never noticed it before since the unit wasn't...
