Update as of tonight.
The radiator and stator have been moved over to the tan MEP-802a
I have poured a concrete pad for the generator. I may have used an excessive amount of rebar 70'.
The generator has been dragged onto the pad.
The wiring has been hooked back up.
I have added sound deadening...
When you say vibration dampers, if you are talking about removing the bolts from the vibration-damping feet, that's been done. If this is something else, I may have missed that step.
As for: "You have removed or relocated everything that might hang up the main gen when you slide it out?"

I played with the little puller and now have it free of the bearing.
Do I need to worry about dragging the rotor on the stator?
Should I get an engine hoist to help lift the stator as I drag it forward?
@Ray70 Thanks for the offer! I was giving it a last attempt to fix the green one. I am going to pull many of the parts off the green generator and get the tan one running. After that, I may just break down the green one and put it on shelfs in my basement to keep the tan one running in the...
Thanks, I have a couple of two jaw pullers that should arrive today. I don't have an engine lift or a tractor (my neighbor's tractor is currently broken at the dealer and waiting for repair). Heat sounds like a good idea.

This will leave me with a...
The video is great. It pointed me to the following video that also looks helpful:
I am going to have to open the tin up on it again to be able to get enough room to work. That and possibly remove the radiator.
Thanks for the help. When I disconnect the output pipe from the injector...
Thanks for the thread. I attempted to look at the issue but may be over my head in this one.
I pulled the plug and didn't see anything obvious to move.
Attached is a picture of what I as able to see.
I have attempted to look at the PDF's to see if they would help with the issue. I may need a pointer to the correct page as I didn't see a fix.
My 802A is not currently running. It cranks and will run on starting fluid, but it will no longer run on it's own.
I have verified that the full...
