engineguy63 238 #22 Posted May 13, 2023 Just now, engineguy63 said: I cant load too many photo's, but, this gives you an idea of the rough life this one has had. I have a friend who is a good welder so the hood can be fixed. I have several engines that will work in a pinch that are NOT correct for it, but, I have an old generator that does not get used...........it has a Koehler K90/91 on it......probably a tapered shaft, but, may cannibalize the generator for a good cause .......LOL 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
