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.
Real pullers don't have speed limits.
If you can't make it GO... make it SHINY
