PE95 Generator in EU

DodgeNick has a couple of PE95 Gen Units in his trailer above. It is great 10K Gen unit.
Question for you Euro Guys....If the PE 95G puts out (stock) 120/240 volts at 57 to 62 hz how do you use it with your European home electrical components? Do you have the Generator rewired or just use them for show?
Anyone know of a parts source for these units? I need the special exhaust down pipe off the manifold. Even though this uses a Willys motor it is not the same as the Jeep.

Bill:
You should be able to run it at 50 hz by adjusting the govenor. You would need to buy a 50 hz frequency meter. You would also use the 240 volt taps.

I have 2 gensets, one of them I use for (spare)parts, allthough I bought it
complete.
I havent got one running, so I dont know if these are 120/240volts.
What I heard of most people is that most where used in flower and plants companies for emergency powersupply. Therefore most where converted in the 60 or 70ties to European voltages. In the Netherlands
that is 220volts for normal usage and 380volts for industrial equipment.
Right new there are a lot for sale on the internet, they are being sold
by those plant and flower companies. For askingprices between 750 and 1500euros. I guess most are postwar gensets, but there are still
WW2 gensets around there with original willys and ford engines
in running condition with very low hours.
They new want more reliable dieselengines which are much cheaper in
usage.

Hi Guys,
I am looking to try and start doing a bit of work on the PE45's. Can anyone tell me what TM's I will need and if there are any other manuals etc I could do with.
Thanks
Nick

Bill has just informed me of my typo. I meant the PE95 generator and not PE45 cos there isn't one (or not that we know of)!
Any info on the PE95 would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Nick
