Nice power unit. That's the term for a "fan to flywheel" setup like you have. A complete operating engine on its own.
I'm betting that's really a Perkins or some other manufacturer's engine that Cat has brand labeled or having produced under license. Cat has never made an engine that small, at least not that I've ever seen. I'll run some calculations tomorrow, as I am wiped out right now from hurricane prep. Suffice to say the best approach in my opinion would be to do a direct coupled set rather than a two bearing. With a two bearing you introduce all sorts of issues with power transfer, mounting, etc. More tomorrow. -D > On Sep 9, 2017, at 12:10 AM, Craig via Mercedes <mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > > I found out this afternoon that the 1,000 emergency supply buckets I > was led to believe we were going to be transporting any day now won't be > ready until October and the church which is assembling them has someone > there who will deliver them. > > Since we won't be hopping in the Kenworth and heading off into the > sunrise, I am now looking at completing an APU for the Kenworth.
