I have a motor/gen. from a tug boat.The engine is a 2 cyl. water cooled diesel
from the R.H. Sheppard Co.,Model #13B Engine # 11857.
It drives a 12.5kw 208/120v a/c 3 phase generator made by Kurz & Root.
Any info on either would be appreciated.

The 13B unit is listed as automotive, the 13C is Marine, the 13D is a generator/industrial spec and the 13E is a tractor engine :-))

Details vary, but the 13B is quoted at 20hp @ 1800rpm, 4" X 5" bore & stroke (the 13E is 4-1/4" bore) 995lbs weight and 24V starting.

Details from the 1949 14th Ed. Diesel Engine Catalog.
