I now have something to turn with the 8/1. Like potato chips, you cant stop with just one. Actually the second one will be used on an irrigation project.

Score! Those are some fine generator heads! Any more kicking around?

Very nice -

I'm just curious about the label, it looks like it says 12 lead, but single phase 120/240? I would have guessed 3 phase?

Almost all the common Marathons are 12-lead 3-phase rated but can be reconnected single-phase. You just have to de-rate the machine by 33%, and in this case, Marathon has already done that.

A local electrician gets them for us. I am not sure where he gets them.

We are now running two units produce 3 phase high voltage for irrigation systems and will soon add a third. The gen head for the 8/1 could be "borrowed" and rewired for the irrigation systems in an emergency. So my toy will serve more than one purpose. That is my story, and I am sticking with it.......
