Not a ton of interest in it as our local auction primarly brings out the car buyers. Figured worth the risk if she runs. Also got transfer switch, exercisor,control box ect. Pretty old stuff but all was good when new power system went in. Anyway, Billy Shafer, I"ve followed board long enough to know your the resident Onan guru. Do you have private E-mail address? I have several questions regarding this specific unit, if you would have the time to answer a couple , it would be much apprciated. E-Mail is open. Thanks, Tom B. [Reply]   [No Email]

Be careful with the air exhaust on the front. It does move some air. You can change the direction of it.Point it down to dirt and you will get a dust cloud. Looks like you have many options on it. What is the number of the switch. I would guess LTE 30 or LTEU 30 was the most common used with that unit.   [Reply]  [No Email]

They have e-mailed me the operators,parts and service manual no charge.   [Reply]  [No Email]

We used to run a lot of Onan but have speced them out of our purchases due to Cummins service and parts prices.   [Reply]  [No Email]
