Hello!
I bought a couple of compressors previously used on an old fire truck and they came with a big 3PH generator head that had been driven off a PTO to power them.
I don't really need this thing but I figure maybe someone out there might want to couple it to an engine and turn it into a standby power source for his shop. Or whatever. Anyway, this seems like the kinda audience that might have a use for something like this :-)
It's a big sucker. Probably about 600#. I've got it in the SF Bay Area in California but happy to bolt it to a pallet if you want it delivered.
I don't have any way to confirm that it works, but I'd be VERY surprised if there are issues. The shaft spins smoothly and there's not that much likely to go wrong with the rest of it. Regardless, in the unlikely event there are issues the copper inside it is going to be worth more than the shipping so you'd come out ahead anyway.
Photo of info plate below. Modern versions of these things appear to run around $4500-5000. I'm asking $1750.
Thanks!
