Salvaged from another thread:Very cool. Good job on the refit. The engine will probably last forever with care. Any idea who made it and if you can get rebuild parts?Sprinter said: ↑Attached Files:
How large an engine is that? Sounds interesting. How did you acquire such an old gen set with few hours?It is an old military genny that never made it to the field. I bought it from a local fire dept that used to use it for lights, but rarely ran it. It had a 110V 3 phase 10,000 watt genny head that wasn't of much use in the real world (originally built for running big radios). You had to load each phase equally. I ditched it for a standard 220V single phase 10,000 watt head and built all the pulley apparatus to bolt it on. 11hp at 800 rpm (old skool). I have sped it up some.
