I have told this story before, but here goes.
A friend had a Pontiac 6000 that had a slipping transmission. He poured
in a pint of brake fluid and that essentially fixed it for about another
2 years.
Dave drove that car hard and it was not worth putting a transmission in
so he had nothing

Do NOT buy a PTO driven generator. I won’t go into details, suffice to say you
would regret it.
You need to do a load survey first, then decide whether or not you want to
power the whole house or just critical loads.

It says it needs 30 HP at 540 RPM - though I suspect the PTO is geared
down. So, a 240D with a tranny to gear it down should work. The cruise
control could be your governor, and the body the enclosure. Too cool!

That is what my plan always was, but not the redneck version. I was
going to build an enclosure for it. I built a frame with MB motor
mounts for an OM621 engine 30+ years ago, but I never found an

I always worry about keeping a supply of pellets. I don't think they store well
and don't tolerate moisture at all. Thats why I'm a big fan of coal for backup

easy to get but it tends to be available everywhere anyway
Had time today to get the injectors swapped into my '84 190D.
A very easy job if you've got a 1 1/16 deep socket (thanks Fred!) a 14mm
wrench, a little hook to grab the heat shields and a little patience.
I'd put on McMaster Carr viton line for the injector returns and was able to

Yes - use the passenger area for a 100 gal fuel tank, or two, or three.
Since it's for emergency use, not daily power, the losses due to multiple
gearings would not be a significant issue.

How many did you move, and how many went to the crushers?

What would be bad about a pto generator?
Kaleb could mount the thing on a skid and power it with a surplus MB diesel.
Even the 240D engine should produce enough HP to run it.

Some time back, I posted (I think) a story I got from another internet

I drove up stream a bit to a small dirt landing, hand lauched the boat
and went about fishing for several hours. After a bit I decided to head

Sounds like one of the Engine Division's biggest sellers in the late
1960s-early 70s.
They used to have a K91 (4hp horizontal shaft) engine spec that had a three
foot crankshaft extension.
They were used quite heavily in Vietnam and Laos by people who lived on the
water for propulsion engines
That sort of thing is still made. I cannot recall the name but they are
mostly used by people who want to duck hunt or whatever in shallow areas.
This idea however is quite different than that in the sense that it uses
the original outdrive on the boat.

has electrical heating elements.
