genset tray

genset tray
I just got the genset pulled in order to replace the slide. It appears
the whole thing was sloppily flame cut. Does anyone have any idea if
this might be the OEM or a patch from the previous owner. Also any idea
to what the tray should be constructed with?

genset tray
Them boys that did the heavy duty work, chassis and fabrication, don't show the
best craftsmanship. Kinda like the wiring, crude but it works for a while.

Hello Glenn,
Not sure what your construction question is specifically directed at. Floor of
the tray appears
to be 1/4 inch thick steel plate, reinforced with pieces of angle iron welded to
the bottom.
Happy to provide more information if you have further questions on construction.

genset tray
sounds exactly like mine, with the exception of about a 4" sag. I hate to add
anymore weight, but think I will redo with 3/8 and extra braces. Thanks to you
and Mike

genset tray
A question for John and anyone else that might know.

It appears from the pictures of your radiator upgrade that the oil pan of the
Perkins sets above the slide out tray, Is this correct? On my bird the tray has
been cut to allow the oil pan to set below that tray and the isolation springs
boIt thru the tray. believe that to be the reason the tray buckled in the
center.Has any one had this issue and is there a possibility to remanufacture
and raise the genset to eliminate this weakness?

I forgot to answer the temperature question from Randy, although it
is cool here this morning and hasen't gotten into the 70's since I
have been here, the temperatures have been similar to what I had
experienced with the original configuration, right now it is 55
degrees outside and under load the temperature is running at 170
degrees, the highest the temperature has gone is 175 degrees so far.
Randy wired the fan speed the same as what his genset fan speed was
wired at on his 'Bird. I don't think that temperature will be an
issue, as I can wire the fan to run at three different speeds and I
believe that it is currently wired at the middle speed.

genset tray
The oil pan on my 1982 FC35 perkins generator is several inches above
the tray. There are no cutouts in it.

genset tray
Glen,
I modified my 78 FC to get rid of the Onan 6KW and install a 10KW Wrico
Diesel which was the biggest I could get into the space. The best mod I even
made to any RV! I am sure you could modify/repair the stock rack. You might be
able to simply jack up the deck and put some reinforcing braces across the
inside of the deck fore and aft of the gen mounts. Cutting the hole probably did
weaken the deck. If you need any help, give us a call. 940-241-2244

mine is factory as far as i can tell and it is above the floor
you musta had somebody cutting on the floor to change oil with
outsliding the set out or ......a add on big dia. gen set that
wouldnot fit under frame!

that is why scott got a side mounted gen set in his fc at powerteck!
