Richie brothers bought Iron Planet a year and half ago or so. GP is part of that whole enterprise now.

MI and Ohio for sure. I have no trouble in either. Indiana and for sure PA have their own laws that go above and beyond federal laws. They both go after personal vehicles.

Anything they can do to extort money!

I can tell you from driving tractor trailer that when being inspected by Ohio DOT that they can't write a ticket that goes on your driving record. They can write fines though-and will call a trooper to write the traffic ticket. I was lucky as the one interaction I had with them I got away with...

I don't know if this is true or not. I've often wondered if they get part of the fines they write somehow though

I drove when I was young as well so I know exactly what you mean. Troopers are only part of the problem in PA. Their version of the DOT is the real problem. Any pickup truck pulling a trailer is a prime target for them. The trucks trailer rating has to match the trailer you are pulling. So if...

That's not good! Things seemed to sell from Lockbourne more reasonable than I had found anyplace else. Any being from Ohio I know better than to take a commercial trailer into PA. PA loves to write bogus fines

I know from being in Lockbourne USRO is closed. Is GL still going to sell non rolling generators out of Lockbourne and OKC or did they lose it all?

I should have both in a month or so. I have 2 units I am going to combine to make one running unit...hopefully!

Yeah I'd rather not be in trouble with the people that might care about that!

Guyfang I ended up with some more of the units with the same remote monitor connections on them. I opened the document storage on one and the whole binder with the modifications and directions for units with this modification was in the door. It gives more info than one would ever need. I'd say...

These were almost all stacked two high and some three high. They said it was because of lack of space. The sheet metal wasn't awful. Pictures did show most of that. What they didn't show (and makes me really glad I went to look) was missing parts on a lot of units. Some of the ones were obvious...

I did look through the preview today. There is a lot of junk in this one. I may have found one for a donor, just have to see where it goes price wise.

That is one of the dangers of working on running engines for sure. It will just be me in there working on it so I'm not real worried about it. I use saws with no guards just about every day. You learn to be real careful around running equipment! I can see why the soldiers took them off. It...

Hey just thought I'd mention I found a real good use for the shrouds I took off the sides next to the fan belt. I cut them up and made covers for the holes on the bottom of the unit. No mice or critters chewing through those!

Well I had a little time this morning so I took the tractor down and grabbed this unit and put it in my shop. I decided I'd pull the head, if nothing else to see how these engines go together. Experience is better for me than reading in the engine TM! It wasn't as bad as I thought. Only the...

Good idea on fan belt. I didn't want to use the fan for sure and didn't think of just the belt. I will take a breaker bar with me and hopefully they let me use to find a decent motor out of the parts units.

Update: Unit was ran for 4 hours tonight with heaters and halogen lights on it. Wattage wise it added up to 12500 watts and Fluke meter read 56 amps. Voltage held perfect no matter what the load. Hertz seemed to drop from 61.5 to 59.5 under heavy load and was verified with Fluke meter. Air temp...

The one the guy down the street from me was listed the same way. I can't get it to move by hand, and 2 quarts of water in the oil pan makes me afraid to even try to dead crank it. Jamawieb I think I got mine (which turned out to be a good runner) and the guy down the street all picked them up...

If you have a Menards near you they have they same brand and a tad bit cheaper. I think I will stop and get a couple on my way home tomorrow. uniquify had a good idea as they will heat as well as shed the load.
