Hello! I am a generator repair technician that was most recently working for Cummins in Saint Paul, MN. Cummins is the owner and distributor of Onan brand products, a company which manufactures generators up to 2000KW. They used to build PTO units, but discontinued them in the late 1980's. Here's the part that will interest folks of the Red persuasion: one of our most popular generator sets during the 1970's and 1980's was powered by an IHC engine. The Onan model 55KB and 85KR were powered by IHC UV401 and UV549 engines, respectively. These units ran on natural gas or propane. I am willing to bet my next paycheck that there is a nursing home in your town with one of these IHC-powered units sitting in the basement as a standby power source. They are a little bit on the fuel hungry side, but are strong runners. If you called a local Cummins Distributor, you might be able to get hold of a used one for your farm or home. They are great, dependable units, and best of all, they are powered by an IHC engine! Just thought you all might be interested. Best wishes to you! Merlin
