Pavid Identifying Pavid generator head

Pavid Service & Repair Forum

Hope someone can help me here. I have a pavid generator head, no engine with no id tags. Is there a way to figure out the kw of this unit?I do know this much, It\'s between 35-90 kw, had a hercules diesel, ( most likly a d3000 or d3400). It is of the design that uses an adapter/spacer to join it to the engine. the fan is inside this section. attaches to a #3 flywheel housing. any help would be appreciated. You can email direct at epp@olypen.com. thanks

I don\'t know if you found the information on re-straping your generator or not but if you still need a print, e-mail me and I\'ll send you what you need.
