Vietnam Era Army Generator - Part 1 (Does it Run?)

I recently purchased this non-running 1967 Army Generator; Will it Run? Will in Produce Electricity?
2 cylinder, 3 hp, 1500 watt maximum output.

Later updated versions have electronic ignition. Updated during the eighties.

Thanks for the info!

That generator is in very good condition considering it's age. Maybe it never made it out of the warehouse?

1,500 watts? interesting historical piece but it's a boat anchor at the same time. you think our military would have something better then a unit that large, that heavy that produces that little electricity

[@terryraymond7984]

Can you even still get parts for Wisconsin engines?

[@sparksfireandbalingwire8467]

That's a neat piece 1500 watts sure isn't very much though.

[@AntiqueCarsandStuff]

Thanks. Yes, 1500 watts isn't much, especially today. I wonder what the soldiers primarily used them for? Maybe just hand tools, lights, heaters, and little stoves ... ?

1500w solo para radios militares y radares pequeños 👍🏻
