free generator ha ha ha

[supermanotorious]

my kids were giving the contractor neighbor's kid a ride around in my Manco this afternoon, the nabe mentioned he has a Kohler engine in a generator that wasn't making electricity that I could have, also, a non-running lawn mower that he felt some renters had ruined

I drove down the street and we put them in my truck

a new fuel line and carb cleaning, and the gene fired right up! hmmmm- why is the volt meter registering???

plug in the angle grinder, uh we totes have power lol

I busted the pull start but that's an easy fix for tomorrow, now, what the heck do I do with it??

Sell it to some Preppers! Many people believe the world will end this Friday!
Sell it now while the market is hot!

Change the oil winterize it. Stuff it under a work bench...power failers happen. If he asked tell him you fixed it.

Well then what size shaft does it have and how many h.p. is it . if you pull it apart I get dibs on the tank....

 

[supermanotorious]

I'm anxious to find out too lol

The lawnmower racing guys prefer the kohler over a briggs or a Honda. Might be worth looking into.

If you live far out enough in the desert, one cannot have too many generators.

You could market it as a "vintage off grid power source" and probably get more for it than a new one from some hipster.

There's a lot of truth to that statement

hmm, lots of crud on this engine, where would they stamp identification on the case? so I can clean THAT spot lol

Nice snag there. Amazing what a ride can do to warm up someone to give away something.

that mower got it's carb cleaned today, fresh gas, and it fired right up, now, I begin the V to H conversion and start a mini bike build

That is exactly what I did

 

[supermanotorious]

I'm so G! I took the wheels and their brackets off the mower chassis after removing the engine, I welded the brackets on to the gene frame, replaced the pull cord with some amsteel

this is one slick "vintage" zombie apocalypse power supply

yes, it is not level, it leans so the gas goes to the petcock, good news is though, the mower brackets have 2 positions each for wheel height so it can be level or more inclined if user wanted to
