Another new guy from GA

Hi all. I've been looking into refurbishing and selling off several old military 3kw and 5kw generators. Long story short: I live in a guest house of a mild hoarder. He wants me to rebuild a few for when the power grid goes down and get rid of the rest. Looking for advice on parting out or doing the rebuilds after. There's probably 9-15 5kw and 20-30 3kw. I have all the parts.
I'm good with electronics and I recently rebuilt an old BMW.
I don't want to scrap these. They're actually quite beautifully built.

Welcome from Stockbridge. Sounds like quite the project.

Are these gas models? MEP-016 and MEP-017? It helps to know and welcome aboard.

Excellent point! And I must be honest, I'm just starting to get these all together to see if it's worth tackling as a project.
The model # I saw on the 3kw bell is 6115-999-5675 which I think makes the MEP-16c Diesel. I'll know more as I organize more.
Thanks for the welcome! I'm hoping no one threatens to roll over my German car with their tank.

Hey let me know what he is releasing them for if you get some up in a PM. I live about 4 hours away and with this last hurricane I am in the market. I just need to get a shed. I am not sure if they Army gens but some pics might help. I have some buddies in the army and can probably get manuals etc for them if we are lucky.
