Any guesses what this engine is?

My guess would be an early Onan.Probably not but boy is it rusty.

I'd say a K series Kohler twin.  Either 482, 532, 582, or 662.  Dipstick, exhaust manifold, ignition coil, governor, air cleaner, and points cover all look like Kohler to me

I vote Kohler Twin also, spark plug location is correct for a KT.

Somebody just reminded me in another thread that I had forgotten all about this one.

Thanks guys, for responding.

If you look at the first picture you can see that this is basically in a big metal box and it is a generator that was home built by the fellow that owned all the material at the auction that we went to last week.

The main frame rails are some kind of 2 inch I beam and then everything else is all welded together from there.

The Main box part not counting the tongue is right around 4 ft long.

The thing is Monsterously heavy. We are judging that it weighs more than a c series tractor having had experience moving those around several times.

I bought it just because I was hoping that maybe that engine might run but even if it never does the trailer itself is worth the few dollars I paid for the whole assembly.

Connect a pulley on that generator shaft and spin it with a belt connected to one of your tractor's PTO to test it out and see if it produces power.

 If it does it's worth more than just the scrap price. or use it.

It may or may not be designed for side load but you can test it. If using it, just make up a shaft with pillow block bearings to hold the side load.

Oh yeah....

If it still works we'd keep it.

I could use it to run a welder.

Yeah.......welder.     I like that idea.
