Hello,

The generator is arrived at home. After a little cleaning, it looks better !

Unfortunately, there is no date on the data plates.

I'm still looking for information about its uses !

Thanks in advance.

The serial number, 474629, puts production of the engine in the 1943-45 range (serial numbers roll over to 500K in 1946 and ran to 300K ending in 1942).  The "D" suffix on the model AK indicates that the engine was equipped with a "stellite" exhaust valve (a high-performance alloy exhaust valve for extreme duty conditions).

It seems like many parts are still available for these engines.

Hope you got it running and working!
