New top for 004

[reiters]

I had a bunch of very large oak trees cut out of my back yard. They dropped a large limb on my genset and dented the top over the muffler. It also dented the door covering the starter. I beat the door and top straight enough (16lbs sledge) to get it back on and moving but it has since pooled water and streamed in right onto the starter solenoid. I cleaned the solenoid once and got it working again but it's gone bad again. I need a top, door and solenoid. Anyone have an old mep004 parts machine that I can get those pieces from?

As it is, I can't trust that when I pull the switch that the genset will start. If you can't trust it then it's pretty useless. In a pinch I can use a screwdriver but man 24v can blow nice sparks and holes in screwdrivers.

Have you put the part # into your browser?

I just started digging into the manual tonight. Honestly I thought it would be like hens teeth to find a new solenoid. I was wrong. The solenoid is part 1115505 and readily available. Not super cheap but that doesn't matter so much. Debating on OEM on aftermarket. Roughly 2x-3x the price. I tried to silicone things up so the water stops but that will only last so long. I can buy the door for around $125 delivered which I don't think is too bad. Haven't found a lid yet but I need to find the part number for that then do a search. Sad part is I'm sure their are tons setting in fields just rusting away. I had no idea what it was going to cost to fix or I might have had a different conversation with tree trimmers. I just shrugged it of and said "It's military and tough. Don't worry about it".

That's the top I need if anyone has one.

Write a mail to this guy. He has some parts for these gen sets. Maybe even a solenoid. Got this address from Kurt Klopp.

Could always try Delks too, I bet they have an 004 hanging around.
