Resurrecting this. Finally wrapping up where I can officially say the project is done, wired and transferred over the house to it without issue. Though there are still many other projects I am working on, battery maintainer, remote aux fuel, H/W heater load shed when the AC calls for cooling. But the main project is done.
Here is the original project, sat in my garage for a better part of a year, getting worked on here and there, wiring harness swap do to mice, some return lines, a fuel tank clean out, a little deoxit, some mouse armor, and I had her running good. Took it to the office in late January, where I could wire it up to some heaters and let it do its 6hr 100% test. Passed that, then coercied some of my coworkers bring it back and set it on the new pad with me.
Next steps were to order some cable and get it wired up... but wait, could it be my ADD, and impusivity has come a-knockin?
This 1040 popped up on facebook marketplace for 5k, couldnt say no, 6hrs on the thing. They had 2 of them, 6hr and 7hr brand new sets in their warehouse. Tried to get the other one too. Told them if they ever sell it, call me first. Took it to the office, made it do a 6hr 100% load test, which it passed.
So up onto facebook marketplace did the original projects go, sold them both for a healthy profit. It was kinda sad to see them go, but they went to a good home. He may be lurking on here somewhere.
And Abracadabra...
And one more for the "yrr gunna kill a lineman" folks.
Finally have my big red lever I can throw, really wanted the disconnect to be the Jurassic park Westinghouse spring powered breakers, but wasn't in the cards... yet. Anyway Happy Friday y'all!!
