A post down on the MM board, by Mjfarms65 on the 15th caught my attention. Pics of the exact same genset that I have, except the one in his post was produced by the MM tractor and imp Co. Mine was produced by the Okeef Merrett Co.
I know that Jeeps were built by several mfgs., Does anyone know how many co's built this perticular genset. How common are they today.
The one I have has the wrong carb on it. Dad changed it over to finish up a spring maple sugaring season. There was and still is no power to the saphouse, and we are now using my YanMar diesel gen to power it. Hopeing to get this one running again. On the MM board they said it was a Herculese engine posibly used in a Moline/Avery model V tractor.

Hi, I've got one like that, hercules engine, mine was made for the field telephones, it is 3 phase 110 volt. engine was skipping, valve stuck open, took it apart, needed it to run a submersible pump, but discovered it wouldn't do it, so here it sits still apart. Interestingly I found when I pulled the pistons, that all the spaces in the rings were all lined up nice and neat all right above one another.
Not sure if I will put it back together or scrap it, lot of copper in that generator. Interesting to know that there are others around.
 
Onan built most of the units back then. Of course there were others. If you can give more numbers. I should be able to find out who built it.
 
If you decide to scrap it I would be interested in the covers for one I am restoring. Email is open. Thanks and Merry Christmas
 
Don't scrap that ZXB engine, they're getting hard to find parts for. In addition to Ag and welder/genset collectors, a number were marinized for boats, and I think a boat outfit specializes in rebuilding them...
