Aircraft 24v Apu 1950s on 2040-parts.com
Fredericton, New Brunswick, CA
This is a 24v Aircraft APU from the 1950s era. It was used by a local operator who had a spray fleet of TBMs. Has been sitting for several years but the engine which is a 2 cycle turns freely and a few drops of gas in the plug hole will bring it to life. Gas tank and fuel system would need cleaning to make it work. I do not know the condition of the generator. It would be a restoration project if you want to use it or could sit in a museum. Tag on the motor indicates it was the property of the RCAF.
This is fairly heavy and would require shipping via a freight carrier, I am willing to help arrange that but all cost is the responsibility of the buyer and will be determined after sale. The shipping cost I have listed is just a guess and will be revised if/when it sells. PLEASE DO NOT SEND PAYMENT UNTIL WE KNOW THE SHIPPING AMOUNT.
