underhood Onan generator
I'm looking to sell it and would rather it go to someone who would put it back to use in a Ford truck. It has hardly any use. I can email pics.
When I got it, it didn't start so I called Onan to inquire about it. The guy offered me $500 sight unseen for it D O A, I figured running it must be worth more so I had a local mower shop get it running. All they did was clean up the points and it ran like a champ.
It's been sitting in my shed, having just moved I discovered it again. Like I said, it should be back in a ford than back in storage. I'd take $500 for it. I used to have the mount but it's long gone, would be easy enough to weld something up to re install it under a hood again. I have it on (north) new jersey craigslist & have four pics posted.
110 volt, 20.8 amps, 2500 watts. It ties into the vehicle gas line & vehicle battery, it has electric start! How cool is that? You could easily wire a remote starter switch & outlet to your dash or anywhere else on the truck.
Back when these were installed circa 1970 they were around a $500 obtion, in todays dollars that's around a $5,000 dollars. That was alot of money to dole out then.
