Good question, around 100, maybe more? Doesn't really matter, it's my therapy :-)

PE-95K Update Lots has happened since the last post! It's 95% done with a few things left to do like installing the top tray, front cover and fabbing up a battery hold down frame. I ended up having to replace a broken head stud and adjusted the valves after replacing the head gasket. I got...

Thanks folks, all great information!

I've done a bit of looking around but can't seem to find much info on the genny shown in the pictures. I think it's a 1960ish MEP-025A based on what I found at www.prc68.com . Its seems that it would work to charge/start my M38 being 28V DC if the batteries were flat. Any idea what a guy should...

Well she's coming along. Found another skeleton in the way of a bent crank pulley. While I wait for a replacement to come in I started on the radiator. I had a hunch that the top header was some form of bronze/copper but I didn't know it would come out so nice after stripping and polishing. This...

Thanks for the decal shots reo! I see I'm missing a few now. Sorry to bother you but what does the one by the exhaust say?

I would Tony but I don't know how; it just kind of came out that way? I went back to the "Edit Post" button and switched to white but it didn't take? Any ideas?

​Got quite a bit done, drilled out a broken exhaust stud and re-tapped, welded and refitted the original exhaust back on, soldered up a cracked dipstick cap, welded and re-aligned the governor bracket and put the rebuilt waterpump on. The rest was mostly cleaning, prepping and painting. I'm just...

Does your unit still have all the original stickers on it? Mine has all these yellow on black stickers showing component numbers and the regular stuff like oil drain, water drain etc. One of the stickers on the oil bath heat stove system is rubbed a bit and I am wondering what it said? It's the...

Interesting Reo! I haven't really though about this rig as an auxiliary power source but it might just happen. And the propane conversion looks simple. Our grid is 99.8% good but...........?

Update I've tore this down about as far as I'm going to for now. Just about ready to paint the motor and still waiting on the water pump to arrive. I'm also trying to source out a new governor mount bracket and a idler pulley assembly. The ones on there work but I'd rather it be serviceable as...

I'm going to modify that old turbine cart to be a standard flat bed; it's been hacked apart already so it won't matter. Fortunately, (thanks, I didn't know about the sealed bearing!), I don't plan on using this as a true auxiliary power source. It's another conversation piece in the shop that...

I got this fairly complete gen set when I bought a M38Cdn Jeep off a guy in Calgary, Alberta. He bought it at a cost of $500.00 for the replacement Willy's engine if he ever needed one. I've seen a video of it running for a few seconds and it sounded good. The unit has 3572 hrs on the clock and...

Did you end up buying this? That looks like a great start to a nice resto project! I've got one of those heater kits still in the crate from 1953, lol. It weighs 200lbs!

Sorry to disappoint Ashley but all went well. We're a highly band of trained personnel conversed in the art of recovery...............OK a bit thick. We got lucky, lol.
