Military Genset

Posted by Doug - Iowa on July 13, 2011 at 05:09:50 from (97.64.139.194):

Here is central IA we had a pretty bad windstorm earlier this week. Our little town was spared serious damage but out of power for the last couple days. We have two military generators, one is a 1945 gas unit with a mechancial govenor that runs like a watch. The other is a 70's deisel that has a complicated hydrualic over electronic govener that is a PITA. We never did get it to settle down and stay stable, the cycles were all over the place and it would surge and buck at the slightest load variation. Damn near fried the well pump with it. I think the biggest problem is the electronic control.

Is there any place in the midwest I could take this beast ahnd have all the mil stuff stripped off and a mechcanical govener put on it? All I need is a throttle and volt/amp/cycle gauges and we can take it from there. Any mil genset experts out there? Thanks!
