RB,

Wow! What a find. I sure hope that it works well for you.

Do you have an application for it at home, or are you going to dispose of it? Ought to be worth a pretty penny.

Congratulations.

This is a little bigger but should give you some indication

If you weren't so far away, I'd be interested in the 5.9 Cummins. But probably worth more as a complete unit to someone.

One of our local state colleges gave away 4 of those some years back. I won't comment on the sheer stupidity of that move, but IIRC they were all sold for well over $5K by the guy the college gave them to.

You got that for free? Wow. Not sure what you would do with a guy that big if it doesn't have a load bank to absorb a huge lack of a big percentage of a necessary load unless you've got a big load to feed. Our units in the military used to use 60Ks, and we'd have to dial in the load banks to get them up to about 70% - 75% load to keep them stable at times when we didn't have near enough equipment draw.

Well, she's a fantastic looking unit made by one very reputable manufacturer, worth some $$$, and she belongs to you.

I used to have an industrial grade 100 gallon Quincy air compressor that had two heads powered by 208 3-phase that I got for free. That things was worth a fortune. I saw it setting and jokingly said "I'd like to have that". It was used once on a trading floor, their intent to cut costs of having to sweep the trading floor every night by simply blowing the papers and stuff into a corner, and pick it up. The first time they tried it, it blew the good papers and everything off of the desks in the booths. It was a disaster, so they took it up to the 40th floor and stuck it in a dark corner of a machine room, where I saw it and jokingly said I wanted it. They took me serious and were on me forever until I finally came and got it. It took 6 guys to load it into my pickup from a loading dock, and about that to unload in my then Romeoville garage. That thing was so big that I couldn't give it away to gas stations, small mechanical businesses. It sat in the corner of my garage taking up space for a couple of years until I put it on casters, rolled it down to the street and put a sign on it that read "Free for the taking, but don't you dare try to bring it back". Guys were fighting over it, but someone won and took it. 20 years later, I wish I had it back in one of the barns. 100 gallon, evaperator, two heads, two motors rewired for 220...mostly for free? Hey, its like not needing a cruise ship until you become the captain of one, so you give it away, and years down the road, dang could use that thing now.

Good luck. Use it in good health. She's a beaute.

at least $10,000.

DGDA very good unit. Worked on several down here. The low hours are probably just the weekly test hours. Most likely has never had a load on it. With the low hours. I would guess 12-15 thousand easy.

No matter how you state it, that is a great find! You didn't specify, (and I ain't asking), but you obviously got it for little or nothing. I know you are curious about the value, but I would sure consider keeping that thing for my own use. (Of course, if you don't need one that large, sell it and use the money to buy the size you need.)

I given this lieu of something that was taken out of the job We were working on.

If it still has the freeze plug heater on it. Don't plug it in. Get a heater that goes into hose system.
Also check the hoses for loose connections. There was a problem with bad hose clamps.
