Would have to start with the criteria of which the military disposes of equipment. I'm not certain, but I believe it to be either once a specific age is reached, or once the investment of maintenance and repair has reached 50% of the initial cost of the piece of equipment, it is then disposed...

:) I make a decent amount of $ rebuilding about 30 Kohler engines a year due to their weak design area(s). I'm not out to get anybody, I just didn't think telling somebody to run their generator virtually non-stop for a year is a reasonable thing to advise. Any MEP genset in civilian hands is...

I do have to say that I am envious of the generator head size on these though. Likely a power density concern, being the larger the area to make X power, the less the load per area, and it will be able to maintain that rating in high temps as mentioned (more margin). A Honda is a better fit...

That is a ridiculous amount of gasoline/oil to handle and pay for, unless you were not funding it. DieselAddict doesn't need to run his generator any longer to prove anything to you. He's happy with what he has. I see plenty of broken MEP's littering the classifieds though...

When you did that with yours, it went "zap", and everything broke. My small Honda genset goes in the trunk of my car and anywhere I want, easily, including up and down stairs. I don't need it to work in the arctic or desert (though it may do just fine at). It ran all 3 days consecutively of...

No. I have a 4 pole gen head on a diesel construction site light tower that I use as my home standby genset, it is an 1800rpm Kubota D1105. It is no larger than the gen head as found on your typical 10hp gasoline portable 5000W 3600rpm genset. I have seen the generator (alternator) head of a...
