fisherman 39 #1 Posted March 30, 2013 Any thoughts on one of these I can get one with all the mounts and guard and brand new belt. You usually see these in 3,000W and these are only 110v the 5,000 has 220v this one is excellant, works gr8 and really looks cool seller wants $450. Is this a good buy?

Sparky-(Admin) 19,663 #7 Posted April 8, 2013 I don't think your generator head will have a shaft to mount a pulley on. Mike........ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

oldredrider 2,547 #9 Posted April 8, 2013 That type of set up may not work for too long. End bearings are not intended for the "side load" a pulley will put on it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
