Anyone know anything about these?

Looks to be about 30 plus years old at least.
I don't know anything about gensets....especially American ones.

I need to know something about the output.
What could I expect to run off it?

I know there's a lot of knowledgeable folk here, so I'm open to any comments or suggestions.

I have a complete Mercedes 240D Factory Exchange with 38,000 miles
in an old rusty 123 chassis I'm parting.

Was wondering if it would be worth having an adapter plate made at KEP
to install the OM616 on it.........

.......or......find a bigger KW generator without motor or with a bad motor.
There were/are lots of four cylinder MB diesels used to run reefer units on 40' freezer containers. I wonder if they had the proper governor, but a reduction gear would still be needed. I run a 2.9KW (3600rpm) generator off a single cylinder Lister (1600 rpm) getting the proper reduction with double pulleys. 25 KW might be a bit much with pulleys tho

Too bad you cant get the Jimmy going.
