If you don't want to bother buying one of the zillions of near new Military Surplus ones , look on Poo-Toobe for Mercedes Diesel Generator , I saw several 240D OM616 engines powering GenSets , I don't know how they're coupled but it can't be too difficult as there are already tranny adapters to bolt your OM616/617 to a GM tranny , it's just a matter of looking up similar adapters for Marine use where they use In-Out Dog Clutches then build it.....
Cheap electricity ! zowie .

The other project (that will likely come before the Cummins) is a MB diesel generator. Doing some prelim research on connecting the engine to the generator head... Any insight?
