Thanks so much for the info

i will pull the filter and see if there is any resistance to spinning the turbo. No wet oily mess in the exhaust system Just smoke and down on power. die to being on an island and no dealers in Colombiastock any parts to speak of I went with mechanical injection low tech works here and we...

I just received a manual for the engine. Do you think it’s possible the turbo isn’t making enough boost? The generator only has 3k hours on it. I am installing boost gauges on all three of my generators hopefully day after tomorrow. Buying them tomorrow. I am connecting my two new 125kw units in...

the serial number is PE6068H680504. Model 6068HF150. It’s mechanical injection with a stanadyne pump. do you work for a John Deere dealer? I’m looking for a place to buy parts. The two new 125kw gensets we just received today are non epa 6068 powered unit. I will get the serial numbers for...

has fresh filters. Good fuel smoke is light grey and the engine doesn’t consume oil

it starts, runs, and stops perfectly. The meters don’t move at all We put 24v to the lowest two wires that go thru the rubber insulator to the generator head the two thinner wires.

It’s a non name brand. It’s not a kohler or any other large manufacturer. I just looked up the engine number to confirm it’s the same engine as the other two units we recently purchased. Which is the John Deere 6068 which the military uses in it mep 806 units. And it has a stamford generator...

I will check it first thing in the am. Thanks

It’s a 150kw unit with a Stanford head and Deere power. I have a large island hotel. It’s onLu pushing about 47% of its rated load I was wondering if maybe it was wet stacking some. It’s fine for 4 or 6 hours when started up from cold. Then it starts smoking and not pulling the load. It drops...

This is odd. I fire up my 150kw generator power by a Deere 6068. It runs fine for four or five hours then starts to labor to pull the load and smokes a lot. I’m only pulley about 50 of its rated capacity. It started doing this about a week ago. Checked the cam and valve and injection pump...

I have another 005 so tried swapping out every single box and switch and still not making electricity. I tried manually exciting the generator head and still not making electricity. Looking for ideas what to look for next. Should I disassemble the generator head and check the diodes ? Thanks...

Hey guy been waiting forever for a pair of John Deere engines for my two new generators and the company has missed 4 delivery dates and now has no idea when I can expect my two engines. I’m in Colombia and the machine shops are horrible here so want wet liner engines so I can swap in new sleeves...

Hi guys I hurt an engine the other day and threw a rod. I have enough parts to build a good engine but need some cam bearings. I’d like to replace the rods and mains too if possible. I use to see these items in ebay pretty much all the time but since the pandemic hit haven’t seen them listed...

We are looking to step up our generators. We currently are running mep 005s two at a time to keep up with our demand and are growing rapidly so need to step up to 100kw + We plan to buy 3 100kw gensets. I read the 3126 4cyl was having issues with the fuel injection system and it’s very costly...

They are well maintained so all the filters are in great shape. The one that uses more fuel is one of two rebuilt engines I bought and shipped down with my 4 005s. One I bought for 500 bucks had a stuck end had water in one hole. I’m sleeving it and bought a used standard piston and rod and...
