Title: 1996 power tech 10KW generator model # ??
Post by: Chris McKenny on September 08, 2019, 09:25:44 pm
Hi All
 I am working on a 1996 Foretravel . It has a 10 KW power tech generator powered by a diesel  4 Cyl . The Data tag is gone. And the generator head was replaced at some point so its of no use in identifying the generator Model Number. Would like to have this so that I can search for manuals. Both parts, "primarily for the engine" and a service manual for the same. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your help and safe Travels
Chris

I have a,1996 10k powertech kubota. My block is stamped v1305. As seen near my white filter.
You can find manual online on powertech site.
A local kubota dealer can help you.

Thanks Saltfevr
 I'm looking for the model number that would be on the data tag on the original generator head. I can see the edge of the one on yours. That generator looks the same as mine. Any chance of getting the model number from you ??
Thanks Again Chris

Another member (David) just posted this morning his 10K generator is acting up.  He has a link to photos of his generator in the post linked below.  The model number tag is clearly shown in one of his photos.  If his is the same as yours tag info may be helpful?

Might try calling Jeff at Powertech in Leasburg Fl. He is the guru.

Just a guess, but perhaps "RR" at the end stands for "remote radiator"?  At least that's what it looks like it implies in the PowerTech Kubota manual

I just ordered some parts for my Power Tech generator. It would be best to contact Power Tech directly for parts. Please note that they go by serial number in identifying what parts you need, and in some cases you need measurements from the generator to let them know exactly what you need. They seem to have sketchy records from back in the 90s. Trish is the one with whom you want to speak, and she is very nice to deal with. Here is the contact information for parts:
