anyone want a surplus generator?

Featured Replies

Already thinking about those

 

Let me know if you do, I'll throw some money down.

Why in the world is a 5000 watt generator so friggin big? For the size that thing should have 4x the output.

I have 2 of them... They are rated 5000 watt from the military-- 5000 watts 100% duty cycle --- 120 degree desert operation

 

They are a little under rated. Most tests show these generators capable of sustained 7000 watt operation.

 

Slow, 1800 rpm diesel engine - huge gen head - tons of safeties to prevent self destruction if something where to go wrong Really a quality built piece - easy and fun to work on - Parts are available - tons of info on steel soldiers dot com

 

I ran one last year, when the hurricane hit, for 5 days -- I didn't run while I wasn't home but it ran for about 30 hours -- burned less than 6 gallons of diesel and powered everything I needed plus the neighbors fridge, chest freezer, and water heater.

 

Good deal if you can get them under $800

I wish I had the means to get one of those 5KW models.

I wish I had a big enough truck for all these ammo cans.

I got in on a group buy one a pallet of these last year on arfcom -- They don't sell really cheap but we ended up @ $4.75 per can. I bought 40 of them.

 

If you do buy a pallet, and don't get greedy, you can easily sell off the extra. Just figure the pallet averages $4.50 to $5.00 per can. Maybe even a little more with current fuel costs.

I have a friend that has two of these in Freehold that he is looking to sell.

Like I said, I don't have a truck to fit them in. If BLF, could fit a pallet in his truck I would definently take 20-30 cans off him.

Just a thought but you can rent a home depot truck for like $80 if you need a truck to fit a pallet.

2 in freehold? Running? Trailers? Asking price?

Two in freehold, on trailers. Have no idea of running condition.

 

PM me and I will get you a # to call and speak about em.

Those are good gensets. I looked into getting one or two for my residential construction co. Their only downside is weight. They weigh close to 1000# empty. Too heavy and big to keep in our box trailers.
