    Mep002a phase connection switch

    OK, after looking at everything till my eyes crossed, I got it figured out. Now I just have to sit down and do it. I bought brass nuts and bolts, and some lock tight to hopefully keep the nuts from backing off due to vibration. Thanks for everyone's help. I will let you know how it goes.

    Mep002a phase connection switch

    I will take my time, just looked pretty overwhelming first glance. I'm guessing if a wire is at lug 8 on one switch, it needs to go to lug 8 on the new switch.

    Mep002a phase connection switch

    Thanks, I looked in the TM some but must have missed it. I will look again. Yeah, I loosened the rods and lubricated it, but wiggled too hard I guess. It was stuck on 120 when I got it, and need it on 120/240.

    Mep002a phase connection switch

    So I had a stuck switch on my mep002a. Didn't see the thread about soaking it and tapping, and wound up breaking the shaft. Then to add insult to injury, I pulled it out, causing a complete disaster inside the switch. I was able to get another switch from SCSG's parts stash- however it is...
