Hi Tuga,
my generator has 8450 hours on it. remember my coach was owned by two different race teams. they used the generator ALL the time.
It does appear from the receipts that the kubota engine was rebuilt, but the receipts are not clear. i called the WW Williams dealer that did the work and the pulled up the same receipt and said they couldnt tell but that it looed like a a new engine had been put in. the receipt reads like they put a rebuilt kubota engine in it. i think that is the case because the engine sports a new paint job. that was only about 13000 miles ago so i assume about 500-750 genny hours. so if that is the case, the kubota was replaced at about 8000 hours. all of that is speculative based on sketchy receipts.
nonetheless, that blower has a lot of time on it. the biggest thing for me is noise. the bearings on the older blowers are brass sleeves. the new one i got has regular ball bearings. i mean the bearings on the 1" shaft that turns the squirrel cage.
my genny runs great.
later
tom
