    Mep-003a Sitting A Long Time

    Thank you for showing that picture of the burnt wiring. That highly motivated me to uncover my 002A and go over (again) every plug and wire connection, hosing it all down with DeoxIT. I physically removed every plug the machine has and sprayed it down liberally. I did not know DeoxIT existed...

    Mep-003a Sitting A Long Time

    I highly recommend following the recommendations of the guys who know these pumps and generators inside and out. These guys helped me get a 002A going and it had also been sitting for years. Unless you know these generators as well as these guys, listening to them and doing EXACTLY as they...

    Mep-002A 003A 004A 005A Drop in Spin on Fuel filter adapter

    Those will obviously work. I'm not complaining about them. It was just a question and it was answered. I still plan on buying one. I personally would pay more for them to be anodized IF it was an option. It is not. I plan to have them anodized. Already have located a shop locally that can do...

    New hoses and fittings for my 002a

    -5 is still used in Aviation. Fittings and hose still available. Usually it’s a specially lined hose. Teflon, etc. Just be prepared to pay. Especially if you include fire-sleeve. Feet of hose per set? Good question. I don’t know Without looking directly at my 002A, Probably a 10 foot roll...

    WTB: M116A2 trailer parking brake handles

    Just FYI, almost all of the M101 series brake cables you see for sale are for the M101(A1) trailers. The M101A2/3 requires a different cable and those will not work.

    WTB: M116A2 trailer parking brake handles

    Direct from manufacturer is not much under that figure. But you can buy as many as you want.

    All season tire recommendations

    Cooper Discoverer AT3 I run Michelins on everything I drive, except my CUCV and M101A2 trailers and the Step Van The Coopers work well in everything and handle gravel roads extremely well. No chunks of rubber being taken out of tire. While still a bit pricey, they won't break the bank. Made in...

    M116A3 trailer with tore up inner bearing race that I can't get off

    The bend didn't look that bad until sitting next to a brand new axle. Worse than I initially thought. Glad you found a new one. Would you mind sharing what you paid for the axle? Private or commercial seller? It will help others in the future for sale price reference. If not, that's fine too.
