I picked up a 5kw powerplant at auction recently. It was obvious that the unit had never seen service. Both generators had no hours and all the MFG dates matched up between the generators and the trailer.
The fun part was opening the tool box. It still had a lead seal on it. @DavidPoz was taking one of the generators home with him so we decided to pop the seal and see what was inside the box. Come to find out there was a packing list and the contents were complete. It included a fuel adapter for a Jerrycan/Drum. SCORE!!
Both genrators had all their accessories included with them as well. Amazing.
Anyone else find some unexpected gems included with their auction purchases?
A few photos for your enjoyment.

Evidence for sure that the unit had never been away from storage was the fact that the cover plate for the forward generator was still wedged under the power cable.
