Title: Very Cheap 7 KVA gen head for People good with tools Linz E1C
Post by: old seagull man on September 11, 2018, 10:30:58 AM
Picked up a new inverter today from Mpower in Brisbane.  (Qld Australia).
 And was wondering around the warehouse, and saw a pile of Linz 7 Kva alternator heads with E/L Protection for $268ex gst.
Single bearing type. The company have stopped making generators in there Sydney plant. Cheaper to buy complete from china. so there are 50 of them.

SO if you can make a drive shaft and bearing mount yourself or get one somewhere, here is a very cheap generator.
The sharft is sutable for a J609b type taper.

You would need a plate with a 90 degree  bend for the front housing and base mounting and a Pillow Block Flange Bearing  to carry the shaft, and you would be well on the way..
Some pictures of the generator.

If your intrested in these generators PM me and i will give your there contact. And no there is no free gen in this for me.

And pictures of the twin bearing version sto give you an idea of whats needed.
