The US Air Force had gasoline air compressors powered by opposed twin Owen. Hated that engine, very difficult to get started in subzero temperatures. The single cylinder compressors would always start no matter how cold. Nothing worse on a cold windy night than needing to drill one hole for safety wire and you cannot get the compressor started. The Owen compressors were such POS I started carrying an eggbeater drill for when I need to drill only a hole or two.
I have an onan 6.5 that looks close to that that has less than 50 hours on the meter. Think mine is a bit newer. 1988 model. Great gensets that last forever and well built.
@@jasonpeters3228 he did have another walk behind tractor or two out there. Ill be going back sometime to pick up another trailer load of stuff. But i gotta get this stuff running and make videos and sell them first. Haha

@@87Benz-tf9qs yes. These things are nice. I had a 6.5 mounted on a service trailer years ago. It was a nice generator
That gear reduction motor might be from a Planet Jr two wheel tractor. I have one and will have to compare.
