Hi I wotked for MISTER SOFTEE icecream co in the sixtys. All of the icecream trucks that had 2 soft icecream machines in the had Onan 10CW generators in them. There are still some of these trucks in service yet today. I wouls suggest that you try to contact a Mr Softee vender and see what he is doing for generator parts. Mr. Softee was/is located in Runnemede New Jersey. These generators weere all single Phase. Another icecream vending co. in Indianapolis where I live used a 10cw gen. that was 3 Phase. I hope that this helps. Surely, ( you know her), there are parts available somewhere. I have found ONAN to not be at all helpful on their older units for some reason!!!

Ed: I got lucky this summer, after buying a grande olde Onan 10HQ, powered with a Continental watercooled flathead, I discovered that Onan had been bought out by Cummins, and that Cummins is focusing on selling an excellent line of modern-day generators, but, hey after 45 years, who is going to stock brand new parts for your dinosaur??? BUT, I did find an Onan location in central NY state with employees who had worked with Onan before the transition and who were VERY HELPFUL in finding manuals and parts for my vintage generator. It wasn't a cheap excercise; in my passion to beat the system and buy those last remaining brushes and springs, I spent a lot of money. But it was worth talking to people who really cared. When I buy my next 250KW+ genset, I will buy it from that operation. I'll contact them to see what they can offer for your genset. Serial and data numbers for the engine, generator, and exciter will save a lot of time. Please post'em if you have'em. Harvey

All particulars for this genset are as fallows: 10CW-4R/12H sir.# 60C640002 AC Volts 120/208 PH 3 KVA 12.5 Wats 10000 PF .8 AMPS 34.7 CY 60 GEN.DATA 10CW4CIC RPM 1800 BAT. 12 The main parts that I need are: Rod bearings, main bearings, rings and gaskets.The bearings I think I can clean and reuse if I have to, rings, I think I can find from aftermarket automotive. The gaskets I can make and/or reuse. I may also need one intake valve, If it dosnt grind clean. I do need to find someone that can boar and install a sleeve in one cylinder. I can get the sleeve. Thanks to all of you.

I have found a machine shop that said he can do all my machine work and can get all the parts I need. We shal see. So dont give up on me yet. I also have a: Onan SERVICE and PARTS CATALOG for series CCKB INDUSTRIAL ENGINES. I can copy and mail or e-mail to others that mite need it. It isnt the rite one for my engine but the specs and procedures will work for it and others.Thanks agine for all of your help.

as a former auto mechanic. i canassure you that getting bearings .rings and other similar itmes can be gotten readily at machine shops as they can make them including cranks and cams.you mick the thickness of the ringrouve, thickness of the seat and cylinder a machine shop can make the ring ..gaskets ,seals are also avialible in the same manner. there is a place in riverdale georgia u.s.a. THAT I THINK THE NAME IS gaskets are us .they make gaskets located on ga hwy 85 north bound side of riverdale be fore forestpark limit carbuators in town is precission carbuator andprofessional carb in mabelton ga

I have worked for onan for 22 years.The factory does not have many of us old timers around.Parts for the CW would be hard to find because of its age.You will need to look around for old dealers and military junk yards sometimes you can find parts in stock.I have some info on old onans and can get prints.Be glad to help as I can.

To those of you interested in the CCK I have 2 or 3 NOS short blocks, as used in the frost king units, Can you use one? talk to me. I can take and post pictures if you are interested. Right now they are buried in the shop Roger
