There are a few TM for gensets in Technical Manuals link in main menu bar at top of page. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?103688-MEP-806a-and-816a & http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?77624-TM-s-for-Generators
The TM-9-6115-645-24 has pretty extensive trouble shooting...
I think this post is one to pay attention to. Hydrogen is much lighter than air (think dirigibles like the Hindenburg before helium was used). It won't form an explosive mix with air unless there is some sort of confinement that stops it from dispersing like the enclosed cells of a battery...
Google says Artisan's first post was in Slovenian and the second version was in Bulgarian, I have no way of knowing if that's correct.
I had no idea he knew so many languages.
These might help. The basic engine for both is 8087-7899.
The MK48 uses 8087-7899 DALVS for the part number and the NSN is 2815-01-186-7251.

The drawing for a Gichner S-280C/G that I've seen shows 14" to the first center then on 22" centers to other end where there is again 14" from last cross piece to the end.
Here are some reference materials that might be useful.
Many diesels have a fuel shut off solenoid that needs voltage to open & allow fuel through. They close to shut fuel off if there is no voltage coming to them. I can't say for sure the M35A3 is set up this way, but i'd bet it is.
The flow divider will raise the pressure of the entire 15 gpm flow to the pressure of the 3.5 gpm flow to your winch. Also, if you are going to be using the remaining flow for anything, you need to make sure the flow divider valve you use can handle back pressure on the excess flow port.
