    Sorry for the crappy screenshots. They were from a referendum video they posted on you tube

    Pretty sure it's an International LV engine.

    Are they replacing the generators or just the motors? The whole generator might be worth something, worn out IH engines not so much.

    They look like they're run on LP/nat gas so they're probably not so worn out. Unfortunately they've outlived their useful life as generators so I have a funny feeling their next life is going to be powering about 27 new Hyundai's in one way or another.
