Bob, look on craigs list in your are for a 10- 15KW onan or kohler made in the 80's. also on auction sites. you kan pick up a very good unit that is being age replaced with no hours on it usually for under $1,000. the 15.0 JC onan natural gas came from ocean beach md fire department. had a little over 400 hours on it when i got it for $762. firehouse was knocked down and rebuilt, and a new generator was included in the price. the 17.5 RDJF is a water cooled diesel with 43 hours on it. this one was a little more expensive at $1300, but it was also delivered and came with a brand new battery, new 80 gallon fuel tank, and an onan battery charger/maintainer came from a bergen county sewer pumping station. it was never used as a power source, just run for 3-5 minutes every month to make sure it still ran. . same thing as the 15.0 JC, it was replaced due to age. -

proper way would be to strip that section of frame, v notch both sides of the crack, then weld it on both sides. once welded find an inner frame section to bolt over the weld with plenty of extra on each side of the weld. then fish plate the outer side of the frame.

when i used the 10KW i had a double male plug that i ran from the generator to the welder outlet in the garage to back feed the power panel. which is illegal, but many people do it. reason it is illegal is because people forget to turn the power panel main off before plugging the generator in. if you dont turn the main of, the generator will try to power everyone on that line, overload, and burn up. also when the power does come back on, it can overload the generator and burn it up. i now have an automatic transfer switch that switches the power from public line to generator withing 30 seconds of power outage. then when power comes back on, it senses it and turns the generator off and switches back to public lines. -

we never had a fire, but a few times i would be up in the hay loft and see steam coming out of the bales and it would be 20-30 degrees hotter on top of that area. then it was a rush to get a crew up there to start rearranging the bales to find the problem spot and throw those bales outside to get rid of them.

same here in joisey Brocky. only raked and baled in late afternoon after a full day of sun drying it out. then straight to the barn. i remember when i was around 10 dad was the fire chief and a guy raked, baled, and stacked out in the field early morning to pick up later. well, it sat out in that field uncovered for around 3 weeks before it caught on fire from the inside. he had to hire a large excavator to rip the pile open to put the fire out..... it burned for 4-5 days before they finally got it all out. he lost something like 1,000 bales. 4 years later the same guy cleared another field and chipped all the trees into a large pile in the middle of the field. same thing. dad by now was town fire marshal and gave the guy a few tickets to get rid of the pile, or the town would and charge him for it. never got that far as it too caught on fore from the inside and he had to hire the large excavator again to tear it apart. that one too 4-5 days 4-5 days to put out.

MythBusters 18 Wheelers, Can Exploding Tires Kill?
tjc transport replied to 70mackMB's topic in Odds and Ends
i remember that episode and almost fell out of my chair laughing at it. when a tire lets go, the tread does not come off the tire like they sent it with their machine. when a cap of a tire peals off, it does not shoot out like shot from a cannon. it peels slowly over a few rotations. even if a tire blows out. you will have a much better chance of being seriously hurt by the glass from the window than buy a piece of tire when riding behind or alongside a truck. the only time i ever saw anyone seriously hurt or killed in 55 years driving was when the whole wheel came off and hit a car going the opposite direction, or a state worker on the side of the road. -

dont say. all the auction site shows is the first two letters of the bidders user name followed by 5 stars. only 18 bids, with 5 bidders. and three dropped out after it reached $5,000. -

did not mean it that way JOJO. the problem with HF units is when they break, parts are almost impossible to get. but properly maintained(which most do not do) they run for damn near forever. unfortunately the generac got the name generjunk because they are the "most selling generator in the world" mainly because when they will not run and people take to a repair shop, the shop says "it is not worth fixing. but i will sell you a new one" and the idiots buy another one just for it to break again and not be worth fixing. my newest Onan is 35 years old. and has 42.6 hours on it. the 15.0 JC is an 1984 build, and has 568 hours on it. the 10 kw is a 1956 build. no hour meter. it was the backup generator for the West Windsor State Police barracks until it closed in around 2005. it was purchased by the retiring station mechanic, who sold it to me in after he bought a larger set in oct 2012 the week before hurricane sandy hit. the newest of the little ones is the ryobi, and it alredy has close to 25 hours on it.
