Hi,
I recently acquired a couple of VN era diesel generator sets. They are Military Design, 60KW 3-phase sets that have Cummins C180-BIG 6 cylinder engines, and Onan 60KW 3 phase generator heads. A fun part is the generator heads weigh more than the engine, and the engine is pretty, uhmm BIG?
I have searched SS, the internet, Logsa, DTIC, ... and just about anything else I can think of and found no documentation, and very little information... Or for that matter, what CIED meant back in 1968.. I did find a manual for when the set is installed in a trailer, or a 5 Ton... but that doesn't help much.
The appropriate manuals are: TM 5-6115-425-12, LO 5-6115-425-12, and TM 5-6115-425-35.
I have a 12 in paper with the sets, and a PDF of the 35 coming from the UK, I think... I would really like to find a Cummins rebuilding manual, and something similar on the injection pump.
Anybody know anything of interest about these sets? Well, other than the stuff about wetstacking, and what a big mistake I have made
... What can I say? I like big engines and things that burn diesel and roar...
And to head off the picture thing, here is a few pictures of someone else's SF-60-MD/CIED.. Gratuitously stolen, I hope they don't mind.![R.jpg R.jpg](https://www.steelsoldiers.com/data/attachments/330/330589-cf71a733dd6af8361d811a8538b2bc73.jpg)
