Manuals for both of those can be downloaded from LOGSA. I have an
MEP-003A generator, and I think it's a really nice set; it's my
"keeper", and I have a few 10kW gasoline-powered gensets in various
conditions that I'd like to unload. The MEP-003A is especially nice if
it has the Acoustic Suppression Kit (ASK) installed, or if you manage to
find one to install on it. I was very lucky to find somebody with a NOS
ASK for my MEP-003A many years ago, and that really quiets it down a lot.

I think that you'll find that it's easier to find parts for the gasoline
sets than the diesel sets. Saturn Surplus carries lots of
gasoline-powered genset parts.

Wanna trade one of those Jeeps or the MUTT for an M561 Gama Goat? :-)
