Petter diesel generator
 
I ran across a Petter diesel genset at the Green Dragon flea / farmers
market in Ephrata, PA last Friday. It's at the tool stand run by
"Larry" in building 5. I didn't think to look for specific
information on makers plates, etc, but it was small enough that it was
probably a single cylinder engine. I recall from my reading in the
past that Petters have a following, so I thought I'd mention it here
in case anybody's interested. The sign said he was asking $600 (or
best offer - I think) The Green Dragon is only open Fridays. Larry
has a smaller tool stand at Roots on Tuesdays, but my guess is that
the genset is heavy enough that it will stay at the Green Dragon
rather than travelling.

As I recall from my days working in a boatyard (in the early 50's),
the Petter diesels wee used as an engine in sailboats large enough to
have space below decks for them. I think we had a dock launch with
one... Joel in Florida
