It is a father passed down to son business, both named Leo. They have been useful for locating Lister-Petter, Perkins and other hard to find parts. They stock other brands also and have in-shop machining capabilities.

I'll be trying to upload some photos tonight! I'm working on finishing by Tommorow. Currently im installing the fuel tank, exhaust system and finalizing the wiring system.  I don't know if I mentioned earlier I have a source for free cooking! I'm doing some research, seeing what's best for filtering, and if the extra maintenance is worth it. I think this thing will burn any oil that's clean and hot since it's a IDI. I'm thinking a 50/50 mix with off-road diesel will do well. With the price of fuel now a days, you just can't use regular diesel no more!

Looking forward to seeing pictures.

Hi everyone! I'm still alive! Sorry I've been away again for some time.  Between work and home life I've been too busy! But that didn't stop me from continuing this project! A few days here and there over the last year and hopefully I'll be finished by this weekend!   After many years tinkering with the engine, buying parts and gizmos for this thing. Test runs, failures. I think I finally have it figure out! It's going to be running to its fullest potential, electricity and heating for the cabin! It will be used for 12v DC primary power at 600 watts keeping a battery bank topped off 24/7, tied with a 400 watt solar system.

I designed it with a lazy man's oil change system that will make anyone want to change the oil no matter how tired and exhausted one may feel! I've included an oil level gauge. An overly complex auto shutdown system, the water pump and alternator field coil auto engages when the engines hits operating temps. If it over heats a fuel solenoid  will close to shutdown the engine and the alternator field will disconnect.

The coolant system, oil system, and fuel system have float sensors of any spring a leak or fuel runs low it will shut down. I will be updating photos of this project soon as I get this the engine running again! This is only a sample what's to come.  I think most folks will be very surprised what's involved when I post some photos!  I'll keep you all updated, cheers!!

Have I learned a good lesson...
This one will not be sold. It might be the most boring generator I've owned. Just runs and runs. Simple oil and filter changes.
But that is what we all want.

WOW ! Those are great engines. So .... have you learned your lesson?
will you be selling this one ?   

LincTex,
You could be right. Something I will experiment with on the next unit.

The best aftermarket manifold for the 240/300.
