    Where to purchase new or alternative frequency gauge for MEP-802?

    I've only ever had 1 bad frequency gauge, but multiple bad transducers, mostly from low-hour units. New LED / digital hz gauges have built in transducers, so all you have to do is replace the gauge with a civilian LED and wire it with the existing leads.

    What is this thing? M71 3 Ton Crane

    This is the one from that auction. Auction price was great, shipping was a bit much because its 9' wide. It's funny you say that because I own one of the MTL-6 made by Athey in 1972. There are scanned manuals available for the MTL-6 series. General Motors, Athey, and Pettibone all made them...

    What is this thing? M71 3 Ton Crane

    LSSV Owners, post info and pictures of your truck.

    Recently picked up a 2004.5 LSSV with the LLY Duramax from California with 82k miles. Hoped it would be a rust free truck from Cali but it definitely saw lots of beach time in the Navy before being used by a school district the past 12 years. Body needs new rockers and cab corners like any other...

    LSSV Info Request

    Some of them use a voltage converter to get 24v like the CUCVII/III, mine uses a dual alternator setup very similar to the original CUCV. You actually get 12v+ off the negative terminal on the driver side battery. You do not need to have a battery in the 3rd battery spot on the frame.

    MEP-006 Single Phase Conversion

    I've converted over a dozen 004/005 through the years to single phase and know the process well. This is the first time I've converted a 006, and only the third 006 I've had in my possession. The wire numbers on the back of the connection board are different. On a 004/005, you move X8HH16B...

    802 Runaway [fixed]

    A little backstory, Bought this 802 with 40 hours a couple years ago. Oregon rebuild. County got it DRMO. Both injection pumps were bad, I ordered new ones and it sat in my garage for a long time. Decided to get it going to sell or use in a camper build. Installed new pumps and among other...

    MEP-005A Question

    It it was the line that was just laying on the bottom of the generator, that one went from the electric fuel pump to the water separator.

    MEP-005A Question

    With the aux line that would be the only way it would make sense.

    MEP-005A Question

    There is not 35 foot of that specific fuel line in a 005 or 004. 35 foot of line could wrap around the entire generator almost 2 times

    MEP-005A Question

    Maybe they're assuming you have to order a roll that comes in 35 foot length because there's definitely not that much used on a 005... maybe 8-10 foot total.

    MEP-005A Question

    It sold to the guy not far from me that bought that electrical nightmare 005. In regards to Eagle Eye 3 's post, I have my fuel lines made by my local NAPA. They're technically hydraulic psi rated but they work fine with fuel. Don't know the thread pitch specifically but if you look up the...

    MEP003 NO FUEL

    Make sure they actually work. Pull them off and put a paper under them while turning over the motor and check spray pattern after you verify fuel is flowing to them.
