Had been looking for one of these for a while when this one popped up on Craigslist about 15 minutes away from my House. The seller posted it around 10:00 pm and not knowing this I had a text from my brother that I didn't see until 5:00am the next morning. I wanted to call right away but I waited until 7:00am and 9:00am leaving a message both times. So now thinking the worst I thought it was sold. Around 3:30 the phone rang and I couldn't get there fast enough.Not a complete unit but good enough for me so here is what I did.

Nice looking set up. I'm still lookin. One was listed in NY, but it was in the $500 range. for that, I can by a stand alone with double the output.

Jeff,

It seems like a lot of work to just run a fan. Won't it be easier and faster to just run the AC in your car if you need to cool down.

Good find, and nice job. I have wanted one of those for a long time.

Thanks guys, I enjoy projects like this.

I had no Dimensions, other than pictures from "Talentedmrgreen" and a few others to help me see how Simple this Bracket was to make.

Be sure you check generator RPM to insure that that get close to 60 HZ or 3600 RPM under load. I am guessing engine should run about 3700 rpm before load is applied and then the engine will settle in to around 3600 rpm. There is a lot of frequency sensitive equip out and about that is easily destroyed by not maintaining 60 HZ. Motors and light bulbs are not on the list. But logic in refrigerators , furnaces, computers and the like might be, and could be put out of commission real easy.

Cool - I wonder why there wasn't a hitch? I found an NOS generator at a dealer a few years ago, but he had sold the hitch. I bought the generator and figured someday I will make a hitch like you did - nice job.

PS - what are those tires - they remind me of the old Firestone 26x12-12's from the 1980's?

Jeff, i finally found one of those last summer. I haven't used it for anything real yet, but it was one of those gotta haves. Yours is done, and looks good, but you could have copied mine.

      Site programming updates were made 3/23/2024. As a result some things have changed including dues payment options. We will continue maintenance and work with technicians to regain credit card payment option and clear up minor challenges. On positive it appears attaching pictures is now easier. Good day. Gene
