Re: [MBZ] OT small generator

[Curt Raymond via Mercedes]

I have a 1200w 2 stroke generator similar to the HF one, it's adequate, will 
run our fridge or freezer. Kinda loud, I'm thinking to mount a 4 wheeler pipe 
on it for additional quieting.
For a few lights an inverter off the car would be enough...

I assume you are referring to that big diesel rig.  He probably bought 
it at a base auction around here somewhere and is now flipping it.  $3k 
seems a decent price, but it is a bit more than I need for now, unless I 
want to hook it into the house.

It’s an Onan 7.5 DJC.  It’s the 240D of generators.  No electronics, purely 
mechanical and relay.  I’ve seen these with 10,000 hours on them without a 
rebuild.  Truly a cockroach generator if there ever was one.  Thousands were 
sold to municipalities under the Civil Defense program in the 1960s.

It’s missing a muffler from what I can tell, unless there’s a little pepper pot 
under that sheet metal.  The exhaust manifold is directly behind those louvers, 
so the exhaust is going up then making a right angle out the side of that sheet 
metal box.

How about a V12?

On a less silly note, what's this? It's right here in Charlotte, but more than 
I ever paid for a used generator.

Since you now need to move out a car, I'll give you $250 for that 300SEL 
so long as it is drivable to get to loosiana!  Easy money!
