I share your view on replacing a working generator even though it's almost
20 years old and doesn't owe anybody anything. It's a 3/4" hole and I don't
think I'm equipped to handle one that large. Also, it is pretty badly
corroded at the bottom of the hole and it doesn't look like there is enough
material left.
