For sale is a really cool DC current 28 Volt and 2 Kilowatt Military Diesel Generator with only 10 hours on it! It can be used for many different purposes, such as starting 24V heavy equipment machines as it puts out more power than just jumping starting or using battery packs. This Dewey MEP-501a generator is in great condition and fires up immediately every time. Yes, the paint is chipped all around and has some military/army writing on the top, but the engine and generator are like new, run just as they should, and only have 10.4 hours on them.
From the manufacturer: "The Dewey Model - 501A is a portable, highly reliable, lightweight unit that provides 2000 Watts of 28V DC power and has established itself as the mainstay of portable power for military applications worldwide. Its open frame configuration allows it to be easily picked up, stacked, or transported by any military vehicle. This configuration contributes to the ease of service and maintenance. Equipped with a manual recoil starter and the ability to be electrically started from the NATO Slave connector, these units are used throughout the military where pure military power is a requirement or when portability is a necessity."
As stated above, this is a Yanmar Diesel powered engine and has both an electric start via 24V through the slave cylinder (see video), and has a manual pull start. Fuel filter has been recently changed. We do not have one of the 24V slave cylinder connectors, but a 5/8" bolt fits the slot perfectly, lol. Clamp positive to the bolt and negative to ground and it'll fire right up off a 24V system. Pull start works too, but you gotta have someone help hold the unit down - electric start is recommended haha. Generator outputs correctly, and you are welcome to bring something to test the output with.
Oh, and this generator can can also be run on jet fuel JP-8 and F-24!
