Chris S. Onan military surplus engine that was converted from Delco flywheel to SAE by making a Delco plate to match our CGG SAE generator head. It uses a GTR116 controller.
Belts are independently adjustable on two axis. So, even if a replacement belt is somewhat different it can be adjusted and tightened as needed and each hub can be adjusted in or out to match pulley positions.
From Steve: This little unit kept the furnace running on a recent four day power outage. Important when it is -19 C outside. The white tank in the background is an oil fired water tank. Plan to recover the exhaust heat (~160 F)…. a simple cogen project.
George’s setup: Its apparent I will run out of engine before I run out of Generator. Just hook onto bumper and attach flywheel adapter. 25.5hp diesel runs comfortably at 2570 rpm and should provide a solid 12kw it will be an easy life for a generator.
ST generator mated to a Cat diesel engine. This setup also has a GTR168 engine controller (picture 5) also supplied by our company. Serpentine pulley made by Mike Montieth in North Carolina.
Tom’s CGG ST set is built using a HarborFreight engine and installed on a 40 X 48inch Harbor Freight trailer. It has 4 each 20 amp receptacles and 1 each 50 amp-receptacle.
