Evening all! I picked up something today that is quite interesting (at least to me). Its a 30 KW Navy "portable" generator powered by a Buda Diesel Engine. I would like to see if any of you might know some information on these units. Here is what I know based off the data plate:
Year of Manufacture: 1955 Engine Serial Number: 71904 Unit Serial Number: 6 NSN: 51-06019 Date Shipped: January 1955 Unit Manufactured by: J. R. Hollingsworth, Phoenixville, PA On the Buda Engine Plate Mod: 6DT-468 Gov: 1200 RPM Bore and Stroke: 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" B/M: D7468 A Serial Number: 71904 Have anyone ever seen a set like this? Anyone have any TMs, Manuals, or documentation? Anyone know much history about this? She starts well, purrs like a kitten, and makes electric. I am happy to add the first A-C Diesel to my collection. What kind of pictures would you like to see? Thanks!

If it was fun to pull in LOW gear, I could have a John Deere.
If you can't make it GO... make it SHINY |
