Before REA came to the farms, a lot of the farms had their own 32 volt light plants, either wind chargers or gas engines. Remember Green Acres with the smoking vibrating light plant Oliver had running for Lisa. That was a 32 volt Delco Light Plant, but of course the smoking and vibrating was fake. The common size Delco has a 2 1/2" bore and 5 inch stroke, and are built to last forever, with a weight of probably about 200 to 300 pounds.
