My Aunt was living in northern New Jersey when Tropical Storm Sandy struck more than a decade ago now. She, at age 94, was without power for 29 days. I got there on day 4... and was able to provide power to her essential loads with my vehicle. She was pleased to have a hot cup of coffee... tho all the food in her fridge and freezer had already gone bad. She wasn't much for chopping firewood... but she did have a fireplace... so we heated her house that way and cooked with power generated by my vehicle and a 3500 watt inverter. You have a great situation... a backup and then backups to your backups... it's like you not only have plan B... but plans C thru Z. Thanks for sharing your ideas with us. If you ever do have to weather a storm, let us know how things go.

Awesome job

[@TheBarbarian193]

Hey just an idea for your tire changer. Mount it in the corner of the pallet to give yourself more room. Also ALWAYS ALWAYS use lube to both take the tire off and put on. It will save you alot of work. I use water and dawn dish soap in a spray bottle

[@bikerdad63]

I was going to say the same thing. Definitely use soapy water for lubrication.

Good evening Evan and Rebecca

[@johnraisbeck9756]

Good job! Try a few squirts of dish washing detergent when removing tires! Less tiring (excuse the pun)😊

[@mariesheppard3750]

Nice job, My late husband use to only finish to 3/4 every dam thing he worked on, Drove me nuts , and he was very handy like you with fixing things ,

[@SwannOG]

Personally I think this was a great project and has a great deal you can do with it now.

[@tublifer1]

You are really good at that Evan great job on the generator/ mobile welder make over..

[@Sigurther]

Came out real nice, good job!

[@Clark8435]

Nice job! Way to GO!!!!!

[@SFCRambo60]

Soap and water really helps

[@Marcus1954s]

Having that multi-functional PTO generator will bring significant peace of mind, especially with challenging times ahead. Put a value on that, in addition to the financially valuable asset you now have and the project seems well worth the effort.

[@kathyloguercio7705]

Pretty cool project. I swear you can do anything.

[@terrywalker9904]

Another great job and video, the generator looks like a new one....THUMBS UP...

[@jpeel2066]

Great job. Looks good. All the best 🇬🇧.

[@sunkissed5889]

Great job !

[@jamesezekiel5728]

Very nice work! Can’t go wrong with a portable welder. Congratulations!

[@ardurbin2]

Absolutely!

[@Xmilker-zb8ig]

I have the exact same generator. I made the trailer that the generator sits on. I extended a hitch out the back so I could tow a trailer if I needed a bunch of electric tools. I also made a bracket that ataches to the hitch so that I can set my welder on if I just need my welder. I put a 60 amp range cord into a small panel box with a few 110 volt and 220 volt outlets. I could do minor repairs away from the shop. When I was diary farming it would start and run my 7 1/2 HP electric feed grinder.

[@PoteauCowboy]

Gonna be handy putting up metal fence...

[@abunchofhicks]

Very nice work Evan.

[@jdgibs3446]

Thank you Evan for sharing your project with us. I enjoy it when you get an interesting item at an auction then repair, rejuvenate and update into a usable piece of equipment. What you do I am sure inspires many homesteaders to persevere. I certainly am encouraged by your ingenuity. Thanks again and be well, safe and blessed. You and Rebecca are very entertaining and encouraging. ☝️🙏🙌💪🤠🇺🇸❤️🎯

[@ardurbin2]

AMEN!

[@chrisbaumer3364]

Thank you . I appreciate it

[@noordcop1]

Nice project.....Looks great.

[@rogs926]

[@mwjii]

[@juliusglorieux8338]

Nice job on that hitch!!

[@tomscott3939]

evan i like your style!! looks great i like your progects and the results!!!

[@nancydunn2620]

You did a great job !!! Love watching how you take things apart, clean them up and put it back together. We learn so much from you !! Thanks!! How is the pond doing with the duckweed ?

[@ianmurray9201]

Nice job Evan

[@michaelpetty8416]

Awesome setup. I would suggest that you reinforce your mounting bracket for the welder. Bouncing down the driveway or across a field will break those two bolts. Great video.

[@glennstatham960]

As you've learned Evan, machinery is ALWAYS painted when it's together!

[@hmsyushmsyus1194]

You can also use this pto generator at your dad's house (7 miles away). Make sure your dad 240 plugs are compatible.

[@Dan-qy1rg]

Fantastic work on the generator Evan. I like what you did there, well worth the effort, I think it was the right thing to do! Good luck with running the house on it, looking forward to that video. Thanks and have a good evening and great Friday!

[@4knanapapa]

Cool handy dandy tool.

[@larrybarton2351]

Well done!

[@jerrygroen8163]

I love the way you get old stuff, take it apart and make it look like new .

[@minutemanmac]

Good idea on putting it on a pallet and then on the forks, I'll have to do that with mine.
