Front mount generator parts

[oldredrider 2,548]

Assuming the front mount Wheel Horse generators were made by Generac, is there a source for parts for these units?

Been searching the web but parts for these older units seem scarce.

Would appreciate any help or direction I can get to keep this "old stuff" running.

I happen to be a Generac employee. But don't tell my mom, she thinks I'm a DJ at an exotic dance club. 

 

Any way, let me know what you need & I'll see if the parts are still available or if an up grade can be done.

Looking for a voltage regulator fo a 4kw gen set. Sears model but the same basic principle as the Wheel Horse models. I can give additional details if needed.

Interesting @Achto Before I retired, the utility I worked for had 90% Generac machines of all sizes.  Over my 40 years, I spent some intimate time with a few of them.  Just like these tractors, rarely anything major. just a safety switch or relay.

I work in the testing department at the Oshkosh plant. We make from 175kw - 2000kw gens in our plant. I believe that we do make a quality product, most of the time.

I'm going to guess that this is dedicated 120v, or is it 240v unit?

It has both...2 120v receptacles and a 240v receptacle

Are you the guy who missed the antifreeze leak on that Waukesha engine several years ago?

Nope! No Waukesha engines around here.

 

Now if you happen to get involved with any of the units on the NYCHA (New York City Housing Authority) project, me grubby lil hands may have been involved with them.

Follow up: With the great help from Dan @Achto, I got the genny back up and running. A bit pricey on the voltage regulator, but it's working again. Hope it's good for another 45 years.
