diesel cowboy 263 #3 Posted August 28, 2018 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 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ebinmaine 62,959 #7 Posted September 1, 2018 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. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wallfish 15,907 #8 Posted December 18, 2018 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I could use it to run a welder. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
