Need help identifying old Ford generator stuffs

[Steeqr]

If anyone knows anything about this setup please share. Seems to be an old generator for a old building, a huge building too, if it even works still is it still viable, what is it capable of? Thank you

Welcome to the forums.

If you had pictures of the info tags for the generator it would tell what it produces for power.

It appears to be a Ford 300 (4.9L) 6-cylinder engine fueled with either propane or natural gas, likely used as standby power.

Searching for Kohler Fast Response II with a Ford 6-cylinder engine turns up: 45 KW, 120/240V three phase, 167 amps. Again, the pictures of the generator tags would confirm that.

Hello Steeqr, welcome to YT! In addition I see an hour meter on the panel below the knob with the silver center. Knowing the tally shown on it would be helpful to give you an idea of how much it has been used. It is not quite clear enough to read when exploding the photo.

Also in the last photo, to the left of the yellow warning, take a pic of that silver tag up close.

The three hundred six was an incredibly good motor. They had very good torque, very economical, were used for a very long time, and would run forever.

Nice find, that will keep the lights on in the chicken coop. Ford six about 100 HP centimos so about 50 kW, likely 3 phase. I would assume natural gas but possibly propane. Keep us posted.

That's a nice find!

Get a hold of Kohler. They should have the manuals yet & possibly have the specs on hand.
