5000W Generator Hitch(Ray's Work on Display)

Postman brought me a handmade hitch (by Ray our Club Prez) so of course I mounted the hitch and generator. Then used a way too long belt and snipped it until I got a ballpark belt length (78"). Adjusted tension and crossed my fingers the generator would work (bought off c-list with owners word it worked) and it did^.

Plugged in my drill and she fired right up. This is gonna be great for running the hay elevator in a building with no power.

Thank you RAY!!!!!!!!

Chris, I am very glad to hear that it works. I am also glad those slots lined up on the base. Was just going by the supplied demensions and the last thing one wants is an issue hundreds of miles away.

Does the belt guard interfere with anything?

Haven't put the belt guard on yet but will tonight and give it a whirl.

Thanks again you did an awesome job!

Another question. Any issue with the rear lift arm interfering with the hitch? These were made for the 3/4" rod used when the Peco vac is installed.

The lift are is darn near touching the hitch. It fits nice and snug. I can't move the rear lift at all but won't need to when the generator is attached.
