I have recently acquired (2) of these generators. They are powered by Detroit 2-71 engines with a 20kw KATO power unit behind them. I'm having a hard time finding any information on them as far as general service information, wiring diagrams, and any TMs. Any help pointing in the right direction would be greatly appreciated!

I just looked at the Power Generation CD. No PU-239. Its been long deleted. Normally, the TM's for the PU, consist of nothing more then what ever is needed to modify a normal trailer, to carry a gen set, and assorted "things" needed to power other equipment. So what you really need is the TM's for the gen set. Are these sets mounted on a trailer?

I will ask someone, (if he is still alive and working there) I know in Tooele Army Depot, to look in the TM library. But don't hold out a lot of hope. I worked a long time on army equipment, and have never seen this beast. Its from the marine corps, but still, its bought and payed for by the government. If someone had a REAL OLD copy of TM 5-6115-365-15, dated 1966, without all the changes, it might be listed there. Over the last 40-50 years, lots of sets have been dropped out of the TM 365-15.

Yes they are mounted on XM-105-E3 trailers. I actually am glad I bought them. They both run very smooth and produce plenty of power. I appreciate the info. It's a start.
