Onan Generator Converted To Move Around Like A Wheelbarrow
Royal Weber, Nokomis, Ill.: "I converted my old 8,000-watt, electric start Onan generator so I can move it around like a wheelbarrow. It mounts on a frame made from 1 1/4-in. steel tubing and rides on a pair of wheelchair wheels. A car exhaust and muffler help keep the noise down.
  "The generator was given to me by someone in the welding business, who had used it in a truck to operate a welder. I use it when I go to motorcycle rallies. The wheelchair wheels bolt onto homemade metal brackets that are welded onto the frame. The bottom of the generator bolts onto steel cross members on the frame. The generator is rubber-mounted so there's very little vibration. I can run the generator on either 220 or 110 volts."
