PE 183-A

Post by hooper63 » Mon Jan 25, 2016 4:54 pm

Picked up a Signal Corps Power Unit PE 183-A generator for mostly the MB engine and will probably also use the stand, radiator and fuel tank but if anyone can use the parts from the generator or panel, let me know. Not looking to go to Hawaii :) but fair offers appreciated. Having trouble loading pics due to large file size. If anyone is interested I can email photos.

I picked it up in Sterling CT but I think the ebay listing did say something about MA. Not sure why but it was in CT.
Restoring an MB so I figured it would be a good backup engine after the rebuild. Also have 2 46 cjs and a 47 cj. Wife's looking to strangle me :)

I didn't want to pay more than $500 but he really didn't want to move. Long story short, we agreed on $650.

You still cant get a much better deal than that. Looks like you got a brown dist cap there too.

If scrap metal prices come up the gen section might get you a hundred or so. Radiator will only be good for a test stand, you will never fit it under the hood of a jeep, well maybe a 3B.

That's exactly what I was planning to do. Use the stand, radiator and fuel tank for engine tests. My problem is I tend buy jeep parts faster than I can finish a project. So my wife keeps reminding me. :D
