Gen Heads
« on: August 29, 2014, 07:42:10 AM »
Looking for a used 30 to 40 KW 3 phase gen head, not Chinese. Willing to buy and rebuild barely functional unit if price matches condition.

While I'm at it, how about an HR4 or equivalent to power that gen head. Seems no one has a gen head so I guess I'm going to have to scalp one off an old army generator with an extremely inefficient gas engine or something and gear it for the slower diesel engine.

We have HR4s and HR6s and occasionally see one surface around the country. The Lister units are expensive and very expensive to rebuild. The 4s and 6s were once common in the Midwest as water pump prime movers, now they have been replaced by more cost-effective alternatives.

30kW to 40kW heads should not be too hard to find surplus - cheap!
