Generator, Military Surplus:
$975.00
This is a MEP-017 military surplus generator, rated at 5000 Watts (5 KW) by the Army at 8,000 feet altitude. The actual useable output is at least 7.2 KW continuous with a full 100% surge capacity for starting motors and well pumps. It produces 120 or 240 volt single phase and 208 volt 3 phase. (65 amps at 120 volts, 32.5 amps at 240 volts, 21.6 amps at 208 volts) The engine is an air cooled, overhead valve, 42 cubic inch military standard gasoline engine with electric or manual start, including a remote starting capability with an automatic choke. There is also full instrumentation for both the engine and the generator, including hours, oil pressure, battery charge, generator output in volts, hertz and percent load and a 3-pole circuit breaker. The engine also features an automatic shutdown for low oil pressure and a lighted instrument panel. There is a fuel valve for drawing fuel from a secondary source so you don't need to shut it down to fill the fuel tank. These generators are infinitely heavier duty than the cheap $500 units available at the local hardware store and are made to run continuously for extended periods.The data tag indicates this generator was rebuilt by the government in 1991. The hour meter shows less than 4 hours of run time. There are 2 new Diehard batteries and a 5-gallon jerry can as a fuel tank. It also has a new governor and a new carb. It starts easily and runs very well and puts out all of the correct voltages. The oil, oil filter and air filter were all just changed. I'll also include a set of technical manuals on a flash drive. The weight is 480 pounds and I can help load it into a pickup or trailer. Local delivery possible. Parts are readily available from Saturn surplus and others and are not expensive.
