10 KW Onan generator

[63sierra10]

I am buying a generator from a friend, I got a good deal on it, anyway it is a 10 KW 240V and 120V with a Willys-Overland 4 cyl for power. Does anybody know anything about these and how I can find a date of MFG. I looked on the data plates but they are blank in the date box. I will post pics tomorrow after I get it home. EDIT: I forgot to mention it is a PE-95K single phase.

i also own a pe-95k. i dont know the manuf. either as the data plates are unreadable. the k model was the last produced my guess until 1950 or so as the ohv 4 cyl. was introduced about 52. i guess you could look for the numbers off the eng. block to determine build date. mine runs great very quiet and thirsty. i also made the neutral mod. so i would have 120/240 so i could use it for my home.

Where can I find info on doing the neutral mod? I would like to run this on either 240 or 120 without switching plates all the time.

that info. was on smoke stack forum. do some searches over their and you can also find a link to the tms. for this unit. if you want either 120 or 250 not 120/240 that info. is on the wiring diagram inside the control box.

took a quick look over their and found this link to the manuals
htt://www.ronfoo.com/generator.html also conn. set for 240 and use terminal #17 to attach your neutral.
