I am looking at a 1947 O'Brien Dieselectrec Corp. Generator. This unit has a IH 4cly engin which starts on gas - runs for 5 min. then switches to diesel. The block casting # is 1228u. There are no other number on the engin. The gen is a Delco 60 cy @ 1200 rpm 6 pole. The Mod # is 1-575. There are 68 hr. on the clock. The unit is under roof. Does anyone have one? Could this be Military surplus? Is this electric start then to gas, finally to diesel somthing anyone has worked with THANKS ED
 
Try posting on the IH-specific Forum and, likely, the IH GURUS over there can tell you what tractor engine your gas-start diesel corresponds to. Sounds to me like it would be the same engine ans an IH "MD" tractor.

That's what it sound like to me An MD could also be from a TD model. There were some of those engines used for power plant purposes like that.
 
I had a engine like that for a sawmill power unit. It is the same engine as the IH TD-6 dozer had. Believe it was a UD-6. the D stood for diesel. Didn't have a starter on it; hand crank but started fairly easy on those frosty morns when we built a fire under the logs to thaw them out.
 
That style IH engine does have a rep for poor starting and tough on heads. Wouldn"t want that when I need standby power, especially in the winter. Small gas tractor and pto gen is more reliable.
