Greetings from the rainy southeast. I have a chance to purchase a couple generators--one driven by a 4-71 and the other by a 4 cyl White diesel. Price is very attractive and allows much room for repairs or setup costs. The large one is about 70 KW and the smaller one is 35 KW and both are 3 phase. Both were good-running units that were removed as part of an upgrade at a local military base and both were low-hour units.
I really don't need a 3-phase 70 KW genset but the engine is in excellent shape and thinking about it in terms of a donor engine for a future dozer purchase?? The smaller generator is more suited to what I could use at the house for hurricane power failures, which often take several days or weeks before power is restored. Our current 10 KW unit is not quite up to the task. My questions as follows:
1. Have any of your ever tapped off two of the hot legs to set up a "single phase" distribution circuit?
2. If I decide not to keep the 4-71 driven genset do any of you need an engine of this size for one of your projects?
