I'm scrapping a MEP-004a...what to keep from it

[juddspaintballs]

I have a MEP-004a that has, what I was told, a locked up motor. I've never seen it run and don't know if any of it works at all. I've got $250 into it so far. I also have a brand new motor with all of the accessories for it sitting in a garage that I've got about $1500 into. I don't know if the motor on the unit is actually locked up. I don't have the radiator and about half of the ASK. Due to my extreme lack of time or desire to put it back together and hope it works, I think I'm going to scrap it out. I know it's worth more in scrap than I have into it and I'll still have a brand new diesel motor sitting in my garage for any future project.

I also have a MEP-003a that runs like a champ. It's more than adequate to power my whole house. Since I'm going to scrap the MEP-004a, what parts should I keep from it for my MEP-003a? Are any of the parts interchangeable like gauges, electronics, fuel pumps, etc.? I don't want to put parts on a slow boat to China if I could possibly use them in the future for my own generator.


Of course, if someone wanted to come pick up the MEP-004a for $250, I'd probably let it go and hope my MEP-003a doesn't take a poop.

I'm in need of a "Gen wiring harness" Hook to the Special Relay Box. The wires run from the box to the "transformers and over and down to the load terminals.

I'm not trying to part it out. I'll keep what I need and get rid of the rest...

Other than throttle cable and batteries I'm not sure the mpe 003a and mpe 004a have that much as far as parts in common.

Thanks R Racing. Suprman, email sent.

Where in MD are you?

Well, I used to be in Union Bridge, but thanks to Martin Owe'Malley, I decided to move to lower taxes and more freedom in the great state of West Virginia. I'm in Berkeley Springs now.

AVR board, the various boxes in the control cubicle, and the speed switch for sure. They're small, high value, and prone to failure. They don't fit anything smaller than an MEP-004A, but they do fit the 005A as well.
