Hi Ruumar

This looks like a generator that a long time friend in the MV hobby has, I've forwarded your information request to him. Let you know if he has a source on manuals.

Cheers Phil

But Steve do you have any thoughts on where to find the manuals?

Hi Phil.
As usual I think this manual may fill the bill ..while it may not be the exact "L" model manual..which I don't know the difference,if you get a hold of Mr Manual,Mark 2,Grant Bowker ,he can provide this manual..

Like Alex I don't know the difference between the JXLD and JXD engines. I did find a reference to an experimental replacement of the JXD in an armourd car with a JXLD, so they must have been at least similar in mounting points and general size. Has anyone seen a table that decodes the letter code for the Hercules engines?
It seems to me that if you can find the manual for the exact engine it is a better choice than one that is only similar. I don't know if the military published a manual for the JXLD. Does your generator have a data plate that lists the manuals that apply to the generator set? There seem to be several online sellers of old tractor manuals who list manuals for the JXLD. I have not bought from any of them to be able to comment on their service. One of them is http://www.antiquetractors.com/conte...nuals_list.htm

This is on the genset.

This is on the generator.

This is on the engine.

And in a daf ya 328 is also a jxld engine.

Some things are different.
Fuel pomp
Waterpomp with ignition on it.
Different cilinderhead.

Can't take a picture of the dataplate, because i have a broken leg.

This is the jxld from a YA 328

En this is a JXC from a daf ya 126

I have taken out a jxc and put back in a jxld.

Only diferents you can see on the outside is the manifold and the carberater.

I found this on the web:

As of 10-21-08 Jobbers Warehouse has this brand new Hercules JXLD for sale. They specialize in Hercules parts and are in Pa. This engine was built in 1968 , the price for it is $7950.00 My understanding is that both the Hercules JXD as well as the Hercules JXLD share the same basic block configuration. The JXLD , however has 339 cubic inches compared to the JXD's 320 cubes. Both engines have a four inch bore but the JXLD has a 4 1/2 inch stroke compared to the JXD's 4 1/4 inch stroke.

I never had manuals for mine, nor did I look for them actively.

The "L" block is longer I believe.

I used mine for home backup.

In the process of lowering it down the hill to the garage under the house, the chain broke and it went the rest of the way on its own; uncontrolled! That is how I filpped it.

My waterpump would hold water only when running. A place in Worcester MA wanted $450 for a rebuilt one, exchange back in the early 80's. I had determined that I would just buy an electric sump pump if it ever came down to it.

Watch out for the wiring in the junction box for the generator. They used rubber insulation for the wiring and it was falling off on mine. I electrical taped it back on.

Mine was probably a Canadian army one. All the control panel labels were in french....
