Deere stuff is top shelf. The prestone will do just fine, change it in 3 years, good to go. My 004, and tractor have it in them, over 3,000 hrs on the ford and 2,000 on the mep, stuff is still crisp and clean...My bike came from the factory with red silicate in it, when I rebuilt the engine the...

+1 Generac=crap I heard to stay away from the "home owner" units, but not much out of there "industrial" diesel lineup, until I worked on one of the cell tower units. At around 100hrs the controller gave out, then at around 250hrs the fan just came apart and ate the radiator. It's a "hino"...

Whats the decibels on that unit? Looks like a nice attenuated enclosure... Nevermind, looked it up. 70db at 3 meters.

Anyone know if this hour meter will work? It looks right, but no pictures of the backside... http://www.ebay.com/itm/HOBBS-085097-45-Hour-Meter-DC-Quartz-/381022839676?hash=item58b6bb237c:g:5hEAAOSwcBhWYqG6

Haha, I hear ya, I believe with alittle tlc this unit will be good to go. I got the injectors ordered for $50 a piece, and I'm trying to find a competent injector shop to test and rebuild the pumps if necessary. With this many hours, the injection system needs to be overhauled anyways. My local...

Do you get the tax rebate down there?

How many of those will you need, if just covering your low power demands with it? If they are the 10.4kwh version on the Volt, I would need atleast 5 of them(assuming drain to 50%)

Which batteries are you looking at? The price of batteries and, more importantly, the fact that they would only last me 3 years is why I don't have a solar setup...

I tried propane, and in my area it is just to expensive, ng might be viable for someone that lives close to the hookup, otherwise you better just stock up on diesel, and only run it when needed. I do like the idea of running the small one during low use hours and crank up the big one when more...

Nice, I noticed it doesn't seem to vibrate a lick, no smoke, very good shape! Have you load tested it yet?

Got the overflow nipple soldered back on. Then pressure tested and cleaned the radiator They must have assembled the alternator backwards, or someone has took it apart before. I took it apart and turned it 180* so it doesn't interfere with the starter anymore.

If it smokes alot when loaded above 80%, I might pull injectors and check timing(sometimes, apparently, the shim packs get swapped/doubled up and that of course screws up the timing) But as stated, diesels gonna smoke.

I believe the syncro box, in this situation, is only to "swap" generators without power interruption to perform maintenance. And you are right, the "utility" units don't have the setup for parallel operation.

It depends where you live more than anything I guess, and how much he wants to assert his authoritahh!

Well I checked the spray pattern of the injectors, and they were not bad, but the front cylinder was running hotter than the rear so I'm going to send them off anyway. I went ahead and pulled the head, as you can see the front cylinder shows it's not fueled right. The engine must have...

How long does it smoke?

Im sorry, must have read it in the TM, I thought I read it on my 004's plate.

I don't see how any of you guys are getting anything signed off on, they have a tag on them saying exempt from epa under ndaa...just sayin.
