I still say this is the ultimate diesel genset...6KW, 700 RPM engine:

24/7 power in Dominican Republic on 50% soybean oil, 50% kerosene....or
other suitable oils. You can put it in your will and give it to power
your grandchildren, if they survive. So rugged, so slow, few moving
parts, zero electrics, no computers. Every 30-40 years, just replace
the worn out alternator...(c;]
Looks a lot like my Fairbanks/Morse 45B.... Turns 1200 Rpm with a 3:1
up-speed Belt & Pulley, Off the PTO Clutch, that drives a 3Kw 3600 Rpm
Genend. Runs all day on a Quart of #2 Diesel. Currently on
semi-permanent Loan to a Close Neighbor (close = 10 Sq Miles) and he
runs his whole Outfit off it, during the summers.
