Hmmm, another unplanned maintenance run. Lost power an hour ago. 8100 houses affected. These are why i never need manual long exercises on my unit. Happen too many times.

Interesting. I own both. The JD powered diesel out next to the shop is and 1800 rpm 4 pole head while the one up by the house is a 3600 rpm 2 pole head and both heads have skewed rotors. From a longevity standpoint the 1800 will always win out because it's rotating at half the speed of the 3600 rpm unit. Not that it matters a lot as they are both over 20 years old this year. The 3600 rpm units is getting a new enclosure this year as the original powder coated steel enclosure is about rusted away. Generac was good enough to sell me a new, all aluminum enclosure for it. Wasn't a cheap date by a long shot but certainly a ton cheaper than a new unit today. I see a ton of steel enclosures around that are rusting away. They all seem to start at the base and work up. My diesel even though it's also in a steel enclosure isn't rotting away at all which I find interesting.Could care less if its running 1800 or 3600. I dont have too many long outages, most last 2-3 hours. I maintain these air cooled units that have over 2000 hrs on the meter and there still going strong. It all depends on maintenance.
Piece of cake!Just got notified by my genmon unit, power has been restored. 1 hr, 54 minutes
