Many of us “ Living the dream” with tractors and property, have to rely on generators. Bought some meters to better monitor the pto generator’s power. With a few extra to make this box for about $20. Can plug into any receptacle, generator or house. Always nice to monitor generator power...

I push the metal pull pin thru a small piece of 1/4” rubber on the back side to help retain it.

Have seen some members use a simple, cheap Harbor freight pump and fill their own tires. Jack up tire, fill, release pressure, fill, repeat til fluid reaches 12 clock at valve stem. Your dilution could be 25% for ballast. Don’t think they ever used as concentrated as the engine cooling. I...

Need to have that air pocket for cushion.

I’m 8 miles from dealer and they filled them. Most punctures on tubeless tires can be plugged. You can dilute your concentrated ethylene glycol for ballast. Ethylene glycol is the best wood rot killer. If mixed with borate, a permanent termite treatment if not in ground contact or rain...

Love nice custom fabrication work. Good job!

Had ethylene glycol mixture in my B20 rears and foam in the front. 3/16” steel (heavy) four post canopy. 23 years, 3600hrs. Tough as nails little tractor. New, 2016, B26 dealer used ethanol on rears, 2” wheel extension and bullet proof sealant in the front. Really improved traction and...

You maybe right. It can’t be sealed and needs to be able to transfer heat. I need and look forward to valuable input. There are few things engineering controls and changes can’t improve upon. Generators operating in inclement weather are hazardous. Trying to reduce that hazard. Might...

Cover primary use is for weather proofing for outside running the generator. Indoor storage cover a plus to keep it clean.

Designed cage to be able to strap an aluminum wide walk board to the horizontal bars for extra height and width. Do sometimes use a fall protection harness and tether.

Not showing in photos well is a 6x15” slot for the pto shaft and 1x21” slot overhang in the back. The generator is fan cooled pulling air thru the generator from the back. Maybe make some louvers in the fan flow path? Do plan more holes and simply propping the up some with a bungee across the...

Worked some on the cover. Needs some ventilation holes, cord holes. Holding down with bungees for now. Need a few blocks to hold the bottom from shifting. Lid has thick and strong drip edging to keep water out. Think the concept will work.

The voltage meter on the generator was wrong. When speed up to give proper voltage and hertz the difference between 515 and 540 is about 170rpm engine. That also agrees mathematically with the ratios. Adding new voltage and gauges. The generator is rated 10kw continuous and requires 20hp pto...

SWAG off-road makes some good tooling for inspiring fabricators. Did the HF ring roller mod 12+ years ago.

The seat plastic bottom was cracking on the M59 causing the seat present switch to open on rough ground and stop the tractor engine. Replaced switch with a waterproof push button switch now is my thief deterrent hidden switch. Seen steel channel locks on construction equipment outriggers...

Made my man basket. Study enough to hold tools and chainsaw. Even use it for sawhorses. Wife is a good operator when trimming trees. Made adjustable safety poles to support the basket it case of hydraulic failure.

Have owners manual. No help for my issue. Called Winco and talked with technical support. Agreed the generator voltage meter is not reading properly and rare problem. Meter is not adjustable. Replacement $120. Hertz more reliable than voltage. What I found yesterday by testing with a good...

Trying to figure out a voltage issue. With generator voltage gauge in green at 240v the plugs only measure 89v and 52htz per leg. If I speed it up to 60htz get 109v the generator meter is past green at about 280v. Might be as simple as adjusting the generator volt meter but the screw on the...

Got the generator mounted. New driveshaft cut to fit. 60amp plug changed to 50 amp to match existing equipment. ] 515pto rpm about 400 less engine rpm than at 540pto.

Good technique. When we got the B26 my wife would forget sometimes and operate with brake on. Good about setting the when getting off. With the light and lever modifications no longer a problem. Better for the tractor, better for our relationship.
