well, post it up!

Juan, This TM is for the PU that came after the one GUUS is looking for. It mounts a MEP-005A on it. Thanks anyway!!

On the relay box, there should be a name of what it is, mabe a part number. ANY info written on the box, inside or out. Also if the circuit card has info in it, write it down and send it to me. I will look in a few other TM's I have. The is a slight chance that the box may have been used in...

Can you take a better picture of the fuel filter housing, and maybe the filter? And part number of the fuel filter housing if it has one and you can find it. The picture you posted makes me think that the housing is a standard one, for several gen sets.

I always love to hear the Detroit Diesel run!! How are you holding the RPM steady? Since this is precise set, you use the throttle cable to start it,but when the gov turns on, the Hyd Act takes over. If you are not using the Gov, simply lock down the throttle cable.

Yes, that baby can ROAR! When we sometimes were working on the Hyd. actuator, and had it disconnected, we kept a clip board handy, and took off the air intake hose. If the engine ran away, we slapped the clipboard onto the air intake to kill the engine.

Oil bath air filter. We always put used oil in it, because it was a waste of money to put new oil in it. Sometimes, like in summer, we had to use a putty knife to get the oil out. It was almost as hard as soft ice cream. The battery charging generator, was a beast. Heavy, and a pain in the butt...

I got about half a mind to get in my car and come visit. Its not far to you. But right now, that is not an option.

This is just a guess, but it could be to switch from 50 to 60 hertz. I have asked two old farts if hey may have this TM. Both said no, but would ask around. How about shots of the inside of the set, when the light is right. Please keep in mind, its been almost 47-48 years since I saw this set last.

The "Emergency Switch". The switch under the red switch guard. There are a few safety circuits in the set. When they turn on, you can not put out power, or keep the set running. They are there to protect the gen set from killing someone, or destroying itself. BUT, In a war time environment...

Baby, these pictures bring back a lot of old memories. Where did you get this set. Is it fitted with the hyd actuator? It looks like the 45 KW 52300, but could also be the 30 KW. They looked the same, and had the same control panel. The AC volt regulator should be located in the upper left...

can you post a few pictures?

I do not have the TM for the origenal set. Will ask someone I know in CECOM if he may have it, but I would not bet money on it.

We need to start at the beginning here. A long time ago, there was a TM that covered the PU, (Power Units) and PP, (Power Plant) generator/Trailer set ups. I am guessing you checked TM 5-6115-365-13, for your set, PU-406-M. Much later the Army created the PU-406-B/M. Same set up, just newer gen...
