You had mentioned earlier in this thread about your fuel tank and I was looking for exactly that when these popped up. I have a jack I need to install on the trailer. It’s not the A3 version but the M1101 type jack. Exactly the same jack, same manufacturer, just painted gloss black for the...

Great point and noted. Will just rotate it every 6 months or so. The drums will fit on the front of the trailer floor if I relocate the tool box. But I think the pallet idea is best due to the weight and ease of handling with the tractor.

Overkill? Of course! Bought the remaining last two this morning. Not sure what to do with them but the price was too good to pass up. No need to store drinking water since we are on a well. I love the whisky idea actually, great to barter with. I have regular steel 55 gallon drums but didn't...

Picked up two Stainless Steel 55 gallon drums last night. They are food grade and used once. Clean out will be easy, They both had vanilla in them. These are my new extended run fuel tanks for the MEP-002A Not sure if to mount one and the other a spare or just leave both loose and just keep on...

Ok Will do I got them pretty tight and they all felt good and strong. Will leave them alone for now and might apply anti-corrosion on the wire ends at a later date.

I painted the oil dipstick handle. It needed painting and I was out of 383 paint. Didn’t want black or red and it now matches all my other equipment. Not tactical but works I still need to paint trailer and reinstall the fuel can holders on one side. Will leave the other two off. Also still...

I use steel wool in other things for mice prevention. Works well Also would be too nervous to use it in the lug box since the 002A vibrates so much. Now that I have a plug hard wired, I will not need to access the lugs again. Made sure the lugs were nice and super tight. I did not use any anti...

Finally got around to wiring this for a 50A plug. Didn’t want the box on the generator itself due to vibration. Electricians were out last week and installed the generator lockout box and related items on the power pole. So now the only cord I have to deal with is the big 50A, 50’ one. Thing...

Thanks for the tip! Will install when the weather cools down a bit. Electricians should be here later next week to install a generator hookup at the power pole.

Yes, exactly.

That’s exactly why the flag terminal is used. Nothing else would work properly and the cable would have rubbing and routing issues.

It does not. By all appearances it looks like all factory work and nothing is modified. I'll install it as recommended. It will rarely get used. Just wanted to make sure I wasn’t going to melt anything.

Funny how the shorter ground cable has a red ring terminal on it. The positive cable has just a plain flag terminal with no shrink sleeve.

Appreciate that! I bought a NOS one off eBay

Exactly that. I do have the adapter that I bought NOS. It’s heavy and works well and is difficult to remove once you insert it. I used the adapter and my CUCV to start machine several times when I was waiting for my batteries to show up. Now it will be a backup

Ok Appreciate it!

All ground straps are in place and in great shape. The original (old at least) has the ground cable going directly from the port to the starter in one continuous cable. I couldn’t tell from the TMs either.

The one in the TM I believe it was later changed to a newer NSN According to PartTarget

The original one on there now, the cables are almost identical length. The positive is a tad longer with a Flag terminal on it and the negative cable is about an 1" or so shorter with a ring terminal on it. NOS one is the same in all aspects, except the length of the negative cable. Double...

So a while ago I ordered a NOS slave plug with Cables. My intention was to replace whole unit as the original cables look horrible. They work fine, just look terrible. Doing a NSN search, I found and ordered the NOS part. When part arrived, the positive cable is the same length as the original...
