This is a MEP-017 military surplus generator, rated at 5000 Watts (5 KW) by the Army at 8,000 feet altitude. The actual useable output is at least 7.2 KW continuous with a full 100% surge capacity for starting motors and well pumps. It produces 120 or 240 volt single phase and 208 volt 3 phase. (65 amps at 120volts, 32.5 amps at 240 volts, 21.6 amps at 208 volts) The engine is an air cooled, overhead valve,42 cubic inch military standard gasoline engine with electric or manual start, including a remote starting capability with an automatic choke. The starting system is 24 volts, using two lawn tractor batteries connected in series for easy starting in the coldest weather. There is also full instrumentation for both the engine and the generator, including hours, oil pressure, battery charge, generator output in volts, hertz and percent load and a 3-pole circuit breaker. The engine also features anautomatic shutdown for low oil pressure and a lighted instrument panel. There is a fuel valve for drawing fuel from a secondary source so you don’t need to shut it down to fill the fuel tank. These generators are infinitely heavier duty than the cheap $500 units available at the local hardware store and are made to run continuously for extended periods. This generator has only 183 hours total run time on it, 2 new batteries and a 5-gallon jerry can. It also has a new governor. It starts easily and runs very well and puts out all of the correct voltages. The oil, oil filter and air filter were all just changed. I have an identical generator that I run my house on during blackouts and it runs all electrical loads in the house including the 240-volt well pump, boiler, electric stove and all lights. I’ll also include a set of technical manuals. The weight is 480 pounds. Parts are readily available from Saturn surplus and others and are not expensive. The generator is too large to be shipped and must be picked up at my home near Gillett, PA, zipcode 16925, unless the buyer makes all arrangements for shipping. I can load this for the buyer into a pickup or backhoe using my backhoe. I am very easy to work with so please email me or call 607-731-0851 with any questions. Check my feedback.
