So one has to wonder what would be the perfect accessory for a M7 generator trailer... Well, how about a M7A1 generator? Luckily enough for me, I have stumbled across one today, talked to the owner and struck a deal.
Here are a few pics of the newest piece of my collection.
The guy I bought it from said it was used up till a few years ago to run some mining equipment for his hobby gold mining. I would say that it is 90 percent complete and original. Needless to say, I am very excited.

Is that a Herc engine?
What is the gen rated at?

Yep, it's a Herc. According to the manual I downloaded, it's a WXLC-3 L-head. It has an output of 28kw.

Anybody interested in one of these generators? I know where one is available, probably less than $1000. USD.

Well, I bought the trailer with the intent of carrying our jeep, however I couldn't pass up the chance to get the gen and have an original setup. It will be neat to take set to shows and fire it up.
Now the big question is does anyone know of a source for spares for this thing. I'm sure there isn't much out there so I'd like to get any spares I can now before they are gone for good.
