PE-95-F Generator Milaca, MN $2000

Seller has not tried to start it. Only 17 hours is shown on meter (but does the meter work?).

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/578768724585598/

“PE-95-F motor generator with Willys L134 engine. 17 hours on the meter. The oil in the crankcase is clean and clear. I have not tried to start it. It uses a 6 volt battery for starting and running. The generator is an Onan 10kw and very heavy. My plan was to use the engine for a jeep project but it might have a better purpose for someone else. A website: radionerds.com has the army technical manual (TM 11-904) for it”

1945 GPW Early APU … Parts Available

• CATEGORIES: Features, GPW (Ford MB), Industrial-Welder-Generator • TAGS: This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: As of July 13, 2021, this GPW APU is now in Stefan’s hands in Germany. As you can see, by the time he acquired it parts had already been removed (see original post from 2017 at the bottom of this post). He does not want the APU parts. I figured it is a long shot, but that I would check to see if anyone had an interest in the APU-related parts (some are O.E. Szekely); Stefan is willing to part with them.  Comment below if interested or email me at d@deilers.com and I’ll connect you with Stefan.

Here’s how the jeep looked prior to pulling the parts:
