From what I have found it looks to be 3600rpm common use in welders. 44 minutes ago, stevebo said: I am digging that Honda 520 Thinking this may be the new loader horse and retire the old 520 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CasualObserver 3,411 #9 Posted June 9, 2019 What a fantastic day at the auction. Lot of fun hanging out with @Shynon @prondzy and @wheelhorseman. I will say, sad though that a fellow collector had to pass away and his beloved machines went back to auction. My fun score of the day comes from while Mike and I were cooling down and chatting in the shade of the machine shed looking over the items yet to sell... staring at a large wooden parts sorter with just two little trays of grease laying in two of the bins. Mike reaches in a leans one up and we just look at each other in disbelief. When the auctioneer came around to sell the "pigeon hole sorter", you should have seen the look he gave me when I asked him to separate the two trays from the parts bin. Regardless... he happily took my bid and sold me the two trays. The lesson here kids is when you see those random farmer parts bins in the machine sheds at a sale.... pay attention to what might have become an object of convenience! I totally have to thank @prondzy for letting me buy them.... let's just say the auctioneer was happy to have a bid and I was happy with the price! 5 3 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Never seen a Onan v twin. Wonder what the application was. The 20.5 V-Twin was made by Robin/Subaru for Onan. Good engines! As mentioned they were typically used on Miller welders etc. along with various other applications. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
