Built this dolly today

[Strycnine]

Built this out of an old military pallet. I'm use it to roll my military generator around. Got the steel casters from Tractor Supply.

That will probably be later. I have to pick it up with the tractor and put it on there. The generator doesn't look real big, but it's very heavy.

1969 was a good year!
The only problem we had with military surplus generators (larger ones) was most of them were 400hz AC instead of 60 Hertz.

That can be a problem.

Thankfully mine are 60hz. I used one for 9 days during hurricane Matthew. Only issue I had was a hose clamp needed tightened up on the fuel system.

3 phase capacity - it would be heavy!
