Brent_Baumer 5 Posted February 14, 2006 but the first one I was able to purchase. Even came with a box of spare fuses. Now I just hope it works as good as it looks. Seller says it does anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lboy1971 0 Posted February 14, 2006 could that black piece with the decal be a belt guard? I see there isn't one on the other side of the generator where the pulley is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

UCD 14 Posted February 14, 2006 Kent It is the belt guard. You have seen it before. Brent the hitch/mount is the same as the hitch/mount for the mackissic shreader/chipper grinder HB-116 with BP-5 5KW altenator Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brent_Baumer 5 Posted February 14, 2006 Haven't tried it yet. Just brought it home tonight. It should run my water heater (4500W) something my 4200W craftsman won't. That was a bummer last year when an ice storm left us without power for 4 days. I know where there is another one just like this one I almost had bought but the guy changed his mind. Decided to keep it as a backup to his craftsman generator. Didn't figure I'd get another shot until I got an email out of the blue about this one a couple weeks ago. Hope to run it through its paces this weekend. Any idea of age on it? Brent Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Roy 0 Posted February 14, 2006 Per UCD, "hitch/mount is the same as the hitch/mount for the mackissic shreader/chipper grinder" Interesting that the same hitch fits both. Another example of "simple tractors". ^ Having the generator and shredder both would be great! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ambler 0 Posted February 14, 2006 Maynard, I have a mackissic on a trailer, I'm looking for the hitch to mount it on a tractor. Can someone draw up the hitch? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

comet66 0 Posted February 15, 2006 What a great score!! It can't have many hours on it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
UCD 14 Posted February 15, 2006 Ambler I can get the measurements and a drawing as I need to make two more hitches one for my Chipper grinder and one for the other shreader grinder I have. Plus survivor2003 wants a hitch also. but I can't do it for at least another month or so. The wizard requires my presence for another 4 weeks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ambler 0 Posted February 15, 2006 There is also an idler pulley. MacKissic sent me the drawings for the simplicity chipper/shredder. They appear to be scale. Just have to figure out what the scale is. You got it all with that ebay shredder didn't you? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
UCD 14 Posted February 15, 2006 Yes I have it. It is an over center clutch set up. I have pictures of it with measurements in my other computer. I will try to post them when I get home this weekend. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Simpleton7016 2 Posted February 16, 2006 Sorry guys....what is it? A generator for a shredder? What else is it used for? Erik Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
