Big Twin Kohler

The genny guts came off.  It’s a tapered shaft.  If I cut the guts apart, I could cut a tapered pulley out of the drive hub and call it a day.

 

If it runs.

Unlike me :P you have the skills to build a frame. That may be the way to go.

 Talking of gennys, I've a little Petter diesel one. 110v and 240v. Maybe some one can tell me what I could power off it. Electrics are not my strong point by a long chalk. I know it will power the workshop lights. Domestic appliances are 240v over here.

Watts = amps x volts.

 

with that said, that is a 2001 watt genny.

Rating on the tag says 2.5kva or 2500 watt ( kva rating is not generally used here with single phase power) but that is probably a surge rating. @pullstart's figure's are most likely the continuous rating. An average 110v electric space heater here is 1500 watt, this would leave room for an additional five 100w bulbs then it would be maxed out. Although the load on the gen would be very unbalanced as you would be potentially  pulling 1500w from one leg & 500w from the other. If you are using 240v it would have an even load al the way through to 2000w. In short you would have to know the wattage rating of each item that you are running with the gen & add them together to know when you are maxed out.

I’m thinking long Square hood, mid 60’s.  Maybe with a rear mounted fuel tank.  @PeacemakerJack I should’ve loaded more Work Horse stuff...

Then it is settled, time for another Pullstart family road trip to the Stertz ranch!  Then you can load up more of what you need, and I can talk my uncles into letting us plow some of their beam ground.  They were harvesting the Saturday we were plowing😉

 

cant wait to see what you come up with on this one...:coffee:

I cut the genny guts apart and spun the hub on the lathe.  That’s something to work by!

" 2445 Big Twin" ??

 

What was the 4 in 45 for?  I’m not sure, but we might need a new number for “crank start”!

Trina has a 1966 and a 1967 that are three speed Gear Drive. The middle number on both of those is 5. Electric start.

 The 4 stood for - material support -  " We have a bunch of fenders & tool boxes left over from the 1964 models. :confusion-confused: What are we going to do with them?"  Mr Pond- "Throw them on the 1965 models & call it a 1045"

 

I'm thinkin' a similar conversation happened in 1963. Purchasing - " Tecumseh is behind on delivering engines but I just got a smokin' deal on some Kohler 6hp engines." Mr. Pond - "Throw the Kohlers in the 653's and call it a 633"

 

Non of this is fact, but I would bet that it is not too far off.
