My Aunt was living in northern New Jersey when Tropical Storm Sandy struck more than a decade ago now. She, at age 94, was without power for 29 days. I got there on day 4... and was able to provide power to her essential loads with my vehicle. She was pleased to have a hot cup of coffee... tho all the food in her fridge and freezer had already gone bad. She wasn't much for chopping firewood... but she did have a fireplace... so we heated her house that way and cooked with power generated by my vehicle and a 3500 watt inverter. You have a great situation... a backup and then backups to your backups... it's like you not only have plan B... but plans C thru Z. Thanks for sharing your ideas with us. If you ever do have to weather a storm, let us know how things go.
Awesome job
Hey just an idea for your tire changer. Mount it in the corner of the pallet to give yourself more room. Also ALWAYS ALWAYS use lube to both take the tire off and put on. It will save you alot of work. I use water and dawn dish soap in a spray bottle
I was going to say the same thing. Definitely use soapy water for lubrication.
Your knowledge amazes me!
Wonderful work, colleague👈👍😉
Soapy water my friend is tire changing miracle
Awesome tool to have on a farm Incase it’s needed in the FEILD for a equipment repair. ! Looks great !!
Evan, you may mess up projects sometimes, but all your projects look great when you finish.👍
Woo Hoo. Im sure you've made Pete proud with the Tractor repair and renovation.
The Gnerator will help with having a Plan A through Z,
Looking forward to seeing this thing making some cameos.
Really satisfying to watch… love the channel
Your vlogs are relaxing Evan thanks for sharing my friend
Looks good. A lot better all painted up than if you had left it ‘as is’.
Another great job, Evan. Nice sweatshirt.
As you've learned Evan, machinery is ALWAYS painted when it's together!
Very very nice Evan!
Evan, ingenious use of an old piece of machinery, upcycling and saving from the dump.
Thank you Evan for sharing your project with us. I enjoy it when you get an interesting item at an auction then repair, rejuvenate and update into a usable piece of equipment. What you do I am sure inspires many homesteaders to persevere. I certainly am encouraged by your ingenuity. Thanks again and be well, safe and blessed. You and Rebecca are very entertaining and encouraging. ☝️🙏🙌💪🤠🇺🇸❤️🎯
AMEN!
Nice job, My late husband use to only finish to 3/4 every dam thing he worked on, Drove me nuts , and he was very handy like you with fixing things ,
Good job! Try a few squirts of dish washing detergent when removing tires! Less tiring (excuse the pun)😊
You can also use this pto generator at your dad's house (7 miles away). Make sure your dad 240 plugs are compatible.
What a beautiful restoration!! ❤👍🏻
You did a great job !!! Love watching how you take things apart, clean them up and put it back together. We learn so much from you !! Thanks!! How is the pond doing with the duckweed ?
It is amazing what a little soapy water will do when doing tire repair. Try that next time Evan it will make the job alor easier
Very nice work! Can’t go wrong with a portable welder. Congratulations!
Absolutely!
I have the exact same generator. I made the trailer that the generator sits on. I extended a hitch out the back so I could tow a trailer if I needed a bunch of electric tools. I also made a bracket that ataches to the hitch so that I can set my welder on if I just need my welder. I put a 60 amp range cord into a small panel box with a few 110 volt and 220 volt outlets. I could do minor repairs away from the shop. When I was diary farming it would start and run my 7 1/2 HP electric feed grinder.
Great work on the Generator facelift it looks great.
You do nice work Sir. Love your videos.
Real nice job. Hope that Allis project is on tap for this winter.
What a great video my friend you really know what you are doing and it’s so good that you’re doing it and sharing it with us all and as always god bless you and your family always stay safe and healthy always many thanks c u in the next one.
Nice job , Evan .
Fantastic job! Congratulations.
You need to install a Digital Voltage Current Frequency Meter on that so you don't feed dirty power into your house
Like the TYM hoodie, like that you did a start to finish, It looks good redone and you will say the same everytime you use it.
Job well done Evan.
Awesome setup. I would suggest that you reinforce your mounting bracket for the welder. Bouncing down the driveway or across a field will break those two bolts. Great video.
Having that multi-functional PTO generator will bring significant peace of mind, especially with challenging times ahead. Put a value on that, in addition to the financially valuable asset you now have and the project seems well worth the effort.
Nice project, Evan. Ol' Sparky looks really nice and should serve you well. As I was taught, any job worth doing is worth doing right! 👍
Looks great!
Damn'' that thing looks brand new'' great job I'm impressed,👍
Loved the video . I enjoy seeing someone paying attention to the details and doing a topnotch job .👍
Personally I think this was a great project and has a great deal you can do with it now.
Awesome little machine!
AMEN to making this repair in one video.
Fantastic work on the generator Evan. I like what you did there, well worth the effort, I think it was the right thing to do! Good luck with running the house on it, looking forward to that video. Thanks and have a good evening and great Friday!
Nice job!
Cool handy dandy tool.
Nice rig many uses around the farm live well God Bless from Central Kentucky.
That generator is worth its weight in Gold! Where did you find it?
Another great video Evan
Nice job, it looks like it will be a nice addition to the farm.
Nice work, Evan
Came out real nice, good job!
Outstanding Craftsman ship 👍!!!!😇
Don’t forget the fire extinguisher
That’s a fantastic genset. Great work, it looks the goods.
Love your design 😊
Projects that aren't 100% done are my trademark! Nice work on this one... and all your other projects. They may not be complete but they are still worth doing!
Nice job! Way to GO!!!!!
you forgot the spot for welding rods so its only 95% done 😊
7:17 You probably already looked but the alternator's specs are at that time stamp. Love your channel Evan. Thank you!
Nice work mate, nothing wrong with a bit of pride.
Beautiful job
Good episode.
Another excellent project, job well done Evan.👌💯
Great project and great job!! Thank you for sharing!!
Great job. The ice storm that hit most of the Midwest in early 78, we used a PTO generator at my sisters house because the sump pump ran a lot. Saved us from flooding! Looks very good. Very talented and just what a farmstead needs! Thanks for sharing. Brings back a lot of memories!
I remember that storm. They sold a lot of those PTO type generators. Then sold a lot of larger horsepower tractors to run the generators.
Hint for changing tires. Mix up a little Dishwashing liquid and water, make it a little thick and a paint brush apply it to the beads . They will be a lot easier to dismount and mount. Good job really like your videos. Have a good day.
The man with all the toys, After hurricane Ian here in Florida and no power for 4 weeks this would have helped better than the generators we used.
Enjoyed video,allice will be jealous.🔨🔨☘️🇮🇪
It’s beautiful work. It looks new and works great. I was skeptical when you bought it. Good work!
You are so lucky that it even generated....
Use Dawn 50/50 with water will make it come off easer Like your vidoes
Cool project, 20 kWh will run almost any welder. Glad to see it works. Thanks
Looks terrific, nice job, hope you never need it to power your house!👏🏻👏🏻🇺🇸
Good evening Evan and Rebecca
Good video, nice to see you get a project completed, looking forward to the next video.
It would be handy to have YOU around. LOL Great video!
Another great job and video, the generator looks like a new one....THUMBS UP...
Great job !
You are AMAZING Evan!!💯
Nice Project, turned out Beautiful...
Awesome. Cool idea.
Hey Evan, great job! How about making a pallet with some square steel tubing and steel plating to mount your tire changer to? It'll be heavier to avoid movement and stronger to avoid tearing loose.
Very straight well done young man.
Good job on uour project Evan ! And it looks beautiful ! Works great ! 😊
My property should be named " unfinished acres " for all the unfinished projects . for your manual tire changer you should get a " duck bill " attachment for it. It will make it work much better.
Very cool deal!
That came out great and will come in handy I'm sure. It looks like you have room for a small toolbox under the PTO in front too...
Looks brand spanking new! 👍
You're the man Evan😊
You are really good at that Evan great job on the generator/ mobile welder make over..
Nice job Evan will be very handy piece of kit around the farm best wishes from the UK
Nice PTO generator. It's a good unit to have.
14:00 Technically you could run it with the T654 and use either the 750 (540 Eco) or the 1000 PTO speeds and just run the engine at lower RPM.
16:00 The 2515 is rated at 2200 engine RPM, even though it can rev up higher. The PTO on the 2515 is also geared different that the other models so it matches the 2200 rated engine RPM. However, they did not adjust the marks on the dash. If you follow the marks on the dash, it will over spin the PTO as you found out. Not usually a big issue, but in this case with the generator is very critical.
well done. you always give it 100%. It does look brand new.
Evan, a couple of tips from an old guy. I had a portable welder that had two 220 volt outlets and two 110 volt outlets. I could use the two 110s while I was welding for a grinder and lights. The generator was twice the size of yours and it was a 250 amp welder. It all was powered by a 20 hp Onan that did it effortlessly.
Also when you are dismounting tires you need to lubricate the beads with soapy water, preferably dish soap.
We love your channel immensely.

Good Job thx For Sharing
Hi Evan, just a tip regarding the draw bar, the fact that it was bent in the first place means it's a weak point (ie no suspension). Maybe, no not maybe, you should have welded a strengthening angle under the draw bar so it stays straight this time. Love your format.
It’s probably not leaving the farm or going to be towed at 60 mph, but yes, it will bend far more easily now.
It was likely bent when someone turned to sharp and the tractor tire caught the drawbar.
Regarding the two colors of red....looks good from my house.
Put some liquid soap around the tire
Great job. Looks good. All the best 🇬🇧.
That looks really good. Now do your hay cutter!
