For the Prof who is re-powering everything with a CPE engine:
Fieros next?
Also for those brand wars (and your HDT)- a friend had an MDT with the decal which most certainly have seen (4 x 4 guys love 'em) -
- the little guy in a hat peeing on whatever "other" brand of truck.
MDT guy modified it to make the "recipients" Chevy, Dodge, & Ford.

HF genny - and the coupon.
Usually no (20% off) coupons on something already on sale - but always worth a try!
Note: If you have the opportunity to meet your HF manager (the *real* mgr), he *may* be a good guy to know!
In my neck of the woods there are 3 HF's which are about the same travel distance. World of difference between two of them - never visited the third.
To get back on topic (lifting gens & hitches) -
"jlaustin" we need pics of that building, with or w/o the crane!

Actually, JC, I have a barn full of 2.8 V6 Fiero engines and a 2.5 I4 that I've pulled out of the cars. I have considered using one to power a 15KW alternator head given to me by a friend when his 25 HP Honda engine blew up. Any replacement engines going into the Fieros are Caddy, 3800 supercharger or the Buick 3.8 Grand National I am scratchin' my chin on right now. Some of my friends think I have way too much time on my hands......
As for the disposable 2 stroke genny, well..... I have one of those too.

As you can see, I am ready to dispose of it :) This one has a bad coil that I need to replace. The coil hanging off the side is off of a 77 Dodge 360. Surprisingly, it provides a spark to the genny's plug!
They are like weed-eaters but do run pretty good when they run. Sound level is "about" 75 dba at full load, 90 must be a misprint.
DW doesn't know it, but I apparently have a female admirer at our HF store - she always gives me discounts and deals that exceed expectations. So, I always make it a point to visit during her shift and get in her check-out line. OK - maybe it isn't me she admires, I usually take Oscar with me and he rides in the cart's basket. If you should want to meet ladies you need a cute little dog. :B
