My 3516 CATs

Here are some pics of the Generators I work with.

Here's the aftermath of a dropped valve at 230am when no one is around to stop the engine before this happens (soda can to show size, notice lifter)

Here is the powerpack

Here is one of the engines going to the shop for a rebuild, they get totally rebuilt after 7 years of constant running

I know these don't have anything to do with a tractor but I thought you guys would enjoy

Those engines look very much like the diesel engines I saw aboard the USS Wasp recently. I was amazed at how they were built --the stuff that was normally inside an automobile engine (like water passages and oil lines) were on the outside. Each cylinder head comes off individually. The configuration blew my mind.

Makes me miss the Thunder Pumpkins from when I worked at Waukesha!
