1958 CAT D311 Generator for sale in Maine. One owner. Must pick up in Seal Cove on Mount Desert Island Maine. Includes spare parts, owner's manual and ignition control box. In running condition. Asking $3500.

Did it come out of the Muncipality/Business or out of an Estate?
Pretty Clean and Fairly New?
Low Hours?
I see it has a "Gauge Panel", are they indication gauges or are they the type with switch contacts to wire out for alarms?
If you have a photo of the other side, everyone would appreciate it as then the Injection Pump and Throttle Controls would be visible for Evailuation.

In case everyone is wondering where?
Seal Cove, Maine, is located on the southwestern side of Mount Desert Island in Tremont,Maine - home of Acadia National Park.

3 phase or single phase?

Just wondering, would this later style 311, would it bolt up to the flywheel housing on a D2 or 212?

The generator came from a summer residents on an island off the coast of Maine, it has been there since 1958.

It is 3 phase, 30kw unsure how many total hrs.

The gauge panel are indication gauges.

The starter is powered by a hydraulic cylinder,(not shown in photo) that you pump by hand and keeps its pressure if it starts on first turn over.

A year or so ago there was an extensive discussion on this particular style of generator.
I believe the consensus was that you can reconnect the leads in a configuration that will give Single Phase power at a capacity of 66% of the 3 Phase nameplate value.

I have found the original hours on the CAT generator, 3721 hours.

I am lowering the asking price to $2800.
