As long as he doesn't trash it... :-D:oops: Come by my place and let me buy you a beer friday. You can make fun of my welding and the OD stuff I'm piling up... :beer:

I'd set the bottom of the lunette in the pintle at 19" above level ground. With the 1200lb genset load in the trailer already, that should be level or with a slight bias toward the tow vehicle, which is what you'd want. My M101's ride at that height unloaded and have a slight pitch forward so...

It's an M116a2, which is the frame for the M101a2. Look up a tech manual for the M101 and you'll be all set, it covers the 116 as well. If I were local, I'd love to give you a hand with recovery, but I'm a bit far...

No, unfortunately I didn't preview any. I did preview several in a previous event a while back, and I've bought several trailers, 1 genset, and shop tools so far. I've found the auction pictures seem to always look better than reality, but that doesn't mean it's going to be bad. Sometimes it is...

I haven't read a manual yet, but is the 24v stator absolutely necessary and deeply integrated? Is it possible to throw a 12v automotive alternator on with a 12v starter, and use one big marine battery? Fabricating alternator brackets might be easy, and rewinding the starter for 12v might be...

Fireman, that was a pretty nice looking unit, I bid on it early on, but really wanted a 10kw. Let me know if you want to part with the trailer. :) Not sure who said it, but the problem I have with propane is fueling during a widespread outage. If I need to refuel a diesel, I can get a home...

Man, I'd love to pick up that 003 if it's cheaper than GL... But I think the ride down there at 10mpg might just make me bid to win in the next event up here...

Yeah, compared to civilian diesel continuous duty gennies, they're a great deal even at today's closing prices...provided they work. The reason they don't sell for their street value as running condition is that you have no idea what's under the hood and get no guarantees that your money's not...

Just wondering if this is the norm, or an unusual spike because of the northeast's funky weather and power outages.

Anyone win some today? I bid on several, didn't win any. Seems like they were much higher than I've sen in the past. Is that about right, or am I just not used to the prices? I could swear I've seen 003's go for under $1000 several times in the past year.
