You can put it in your will and give it to power your grandchildren, if they survive. So rugged, so slow, few moving parts, zero electrics, no computers. Every 30-40 years, just replace the worn out alternator...(c;] Looks a lot like my Fairbanks/Morse 45B.... Turns 1200 Rpm with a 3:1 up-speed Belt & Pulley, Off the PTO Clutch, that drives a 3Kw 3600 Rpm Genend. Runs all day on a Quart of #2 Diesel. Currently on semi-permanent Loan to a Close Neighbor (close = 10 Sq Miles) and he runs his whole Outfit off it, during the summers. -- Bruce in alaska add path after fast to reply |
