Another backyard gear modification project

[cnelk]

Im sure many were wondering what project I was going to come up with next.

Well, here ya go!

First I was given an old gas powered pressure washer - Sweet!

But.... the pump was bad and it leaked and parts were obsolete

 

[cnelk]

So I wondered.... What can I do with a gas powered engine.... Hmmmmm

I came up with an idea!!

I cut the frame apart and welded tubing to make it longer

 

[cnelk]

I then attached some 3/4 plywood to make a deck

I then started looking for some more ingredients to my idea.

First was an 1000w inverter

The next was a belt, a couple pulleys and an alternator. Chrome baby

My good buddy gave me a battery he wasnt using anymore.

So I hooked it all up and made me a generator!

I have a few adjustments to made and organize everything on the deck, but it was a fun little project!

That is so awesome!!!!!!
Are you gonna keep is as a backup if your power goes out?
Or making it a camping rig?

Thanks!
It will be kept at home for a power source - both DC & AC

All you need now is another power outage to get a real test run...
