Questions About a Free Massive Diesel Generator Hi Friends,
I'm a bit over my head on this one (what else is new). The manager of the condo complex we presently rent at has offered me the 11 story building's old generator simply for disconnecting it and hauling it out. It's connected to a bunch of electrical boxes with relays, humming coils and breaker switches. It hasn't been used for years. I just got a quick look at it in the near dark basement. All I could read was Lister Diesel on two lids next to the fuel tank. The exhaust is piped out, no fuel piped in. Heck of a generator. Sure wish I still had my farm. I'm going to scramble to see if I can find someone or place to stash it. Not sure how to go about moving the beast.
Got any suggestions, instructions, warnings???
Oh ya, looks like I can score a hefty Baldor motor and some whopper pillow block bearings shafted (well over an inch diameter) to an old blower. Apparently no one knows about the wiring and history of all this stuff. They just want it out. Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks, Phil
