doubleclutchinweasel Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 Saw this on the back of a step deck last weekend. Anybody able to identify it from this angle? 1 Quote "Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines."

doubleclutchinweasel Posted June 16, 2023 Author Share Posted June 16, 2023 What's is go in? Too big to fit under the hood of the truck it was on. Marine? Generator? Off-road equipment? Looks like it had a clutch at one time. There's another smaller engine behind it on the trailer. Can't see it too well. Quote "Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines."

Mark T Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 Looks like some form of a Cummins QSK38 (V12 size of 2 6 cylinder KTs, as opposed to the 1710 V12 2 855s) 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/72953-identify/#findComment-533095 Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Rubber Duck 006 Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 Hmm that would look good under the hood of a Superliner sleeper truck Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/72953-identify/#findComment-533282 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like a generator engine. 1) painted Onan colors, 2) the air passage on the side of the "bellhousing" for exhausting cooling air for the generator.

doubleclutchinweasel Posted June 26, 2023 Author Share Posted June 26, 2023 I see lots of Cummins gen sets painted that color. But that was a new one on me. Sure was a honkin' big mother. There's some smaller motor on the trailer behind it, but I didn't get a good shot of it. Quote "Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines."

Joey Mack Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 The other looks like an Allison Tranny.. like a 4500... Don't know, but sure is clean looking.. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/72953-identify/#findComment-533619 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Weeks Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 The air vent for the centrifugal fan discharge is a dead give a way that it was powering a generator. I can't think of any other application that would have that. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/72953-identify/#findComment-533620 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark T Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 QSK38 that right there is about as close to living behind it that automatic transmission will ever be. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/72953-identify/#findComment-533660 Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeH Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 It has 2 rusty elbows on the top of the engine. I really hope one is intake and the other is for a turbo. Looks like a solid 12 inch diameter pipe. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/72953-identify/#findComment-533714 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark T Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 That's 2300 cubic inches of Cummins brute power there. Gonna need some big exhaust.....and a big fuel tank.
