I just purchased this model generator. Is there a way to find out the age of the unit? Model: 20PTOF-3/0 Serial: 30709A5. Winco PTO generator on trailer. Thank you,
Denis, yes, it is fine to operate it with 30 hp at the PTO, knowing that you should not load the generator more than 15,000 watts. The ratio is approximately 2 to 1, hp to output.
Charles, 41172 is obsolete. It is not needed to produce AC output. If it is shorted, it will short out output. We recommend removing it if you suspect it is bad.

Is there a way to get the original paint color to re-paint an older unit?

Caleb, we do not have the original paint for your model. I would recommend matching it and buying the paint locally.

Dean, A5 stands for April 1965 or 1975. I could not find 30709 serial number in our archives.
