I don't know the citation, but I remember hearing about it way back in the 70's when the very first US consumer protection acts were being passed. And I also know that GM quits selling some spare pa

Have you tried giving the old Onan a tune-up, especially adjusting the mixture ? A gallon/hour sounds kind of high even if it's loaded to the full 8 kW. Randall _____________________________________

Could be, I'm no expert. But my mid-70s vintage 4.5kW Onan had adjustments for both low and high throttle (what would be idle and main jets on a car). After seeing what pump parts cost, I switched t

Yeah, you're right. Did something wrong when I calculated the first time. Apologies. Likely true for a diesel, but gasoline engines have pumping losses when lightly loaded. Otherwise a V8 would get

I agree. In addition, the voltage is controlled electronically (or electro-mechanically if your generator is really, really old) so only the frequency will vary with shaft rpm. And these days, very

If your tractor is rated for 45hp at the PTO, then it's engine puts out a fair amount more than that. Since the ad specifically said "48hp *engine*" ... Seriously, being a little underpowered just m

Likely not all the same; but on mine you have to drain the pool. Probably best to run it a few hours/day, depending on how dirty things get. I run my in-ground 2 hrs/day when it's not in use (with a

Right. It's important to keep it sub-lethal. Say about Taser level. Electric fence chargers (at least the ones I'm familiar with) deliver a single jolt of high voltage (several hundred volts) every

Scott, I work for a division of Deere. And I think I can promise you that, if it's the same model number, it's the same mower. Deere may cut their price to the big box stores (I don't know anything

Phil, you'll get opinions all over the map on those questions. Towing a trailer is never as safe as not towing, so extra caution is always necessary. IMO, if you can keep the combined trailer/car we

Yes indeed. Absolutely essential to have at least 1/8 of the total trailer weight on the tongue/hitch. Also make sure your tie-downs are up to snuff. Normally they don't do much, but in an emergency
