    Valence's M116A3 Mounted MEP-803A (10kw generator)

    Its your call. Theoretically whatever stuck to the frame, and to the lid... will line up properly when you reinstall. If you find its easy to scrape it off... I would. You aren't fielding this equipment across the world. Its not leaving your property. I assume they must have had an ingress...

    Valence's M116A3 Mounted MEP-803A (10kw generator)

    You got one of the "lucky" ones with an RTV top. That stuffs a nightmare... all you can do is pry and work it over. That right side is always stuck the worst. Thankfully its not on the majority of machines.

    Valence's M116A3 Mounted MEP-803A (10kw generator)

    I think this is the magical question here. See the flow chart from the TM (black circle added): If you didn't build sufficient oil pressure, you will get that light and the machine won't run. If you do build sufficient pressure but the MPU (magnetic pickup) is a little out of adjustment, it...

    Valence's M116A3 Mounted MEP-803A (10kw generator)

    The upgrade is a great idea... whomever figured it out originally helped a lot of folks with PM on that poor design. With that said, in my bit of research (part of which was presented above) it could be a better upgrade. Nothing is cheap these days, investing in unknown demand items in a...

    You actually dont want brass anywhere in the system if you can help it. I trust Parker to know their stuff... https://blog.parker.com/site/usa/en-US/details-home-page/new-testing-results-give-way-to-changing-specifications-for-engine-oems-us I'm actually considering producing the 'ultimate...

    Just get some 1/8" plastic vacuum tees at your local auto parts store. Nothing fancy.

    Yeah find the data plate and custom engrave the trailing 6 to a zero and move on with life. Make all the paperwork dorks happy.

    No you are correct, its a wire path. I failed to see the vinyl cover. Some of these sets have threaded fasteners (typically power plant trailer mounted units) that were used for other purposes.

    Undo that silver metal nut on the backside of the opening you are looking to pass through. That piece comes out... you might find it fits right in now (and that fitting was in place for another purpose, which you don't have).

    If you don't need the ride height of the 37s, you can take older Ford 8 lug Dana 60 rims and tires and they should bolt right up from memory.
