Power House cub
 
Just thought I'd post a picture of my contraption I'm currently working on, I call it my Power House cub, because when the power goes out this is whats gonna power my house, Its got a quietline frame, 682 fenders, china 10hp diesel engine and a 10kw generator head.

basicly its just a drivable 10kw generator, I still have to fit the hood and then tear back down and paint. I'll post a few more pictures when its done.

yep I would like one of those too, but I'm a retired disabled vet, and being on a fixed budget, that setup just isn't in the cards for me.

well, the cub was a freebie, the generator head was damaged during shipping, so I got it for $250, got 2 of the china diesels for 600.00 awhile back (been sitting in the barn a year or so), most of the angle is scrap so no real investment there, guess what I'm out more than anything else is time. I figure 600/700 dollars tops, I'm thinking that's a pretty good price on a 10 kw unit, I imagine your setup was slightly more than that. I guess what I like about it most is I can move it anywhere I want to, electricity anywhere where on the property is a pretty cool idea to me.
