I'm looking to set up my 12 Hp Ruggerini on a base/ trolley with an induction motor to use as a generator.
I currently have it on some large wood runners but the thing hammers the wood into compression and the bots come loose. I acquired some 100mm or so box section thick wall steel sections of sufficent length and want to use those to mount everything. As I'll soon be on the move, I want to put wheels on the setup to make it easier to move.
When I was about to start on things yesterday I wondered if there was a right or wrong way to go about this? I now run the thing on concrete and like every other single engine I have ( many) the arrangement wants to walk around the driveway. Even with me riding it.
I was wondering if wheels would help with this at all or if there is a way to strop the thing walking out onto the road or wherever else it wants to go on the concrete.
I was thinking of using large castor wheels but then pontificated if inflatables like off those cheap hand truck trolleys would be better? Probably just make them fixed axle as I don't want to much around with a steering axle the thumper of an engine would probably break anyway. Spose if I ran the thing on the grass would be OK and wouldn't run away but I more had thoughts of it being in a shed and I'd prefer not to have to bolt it to the floor if I can help it.
Any tips or tricks with these sort of things I'm not aware of?
Walks all over the place on beams, will adding wheels have the irony of stopping it or is there some other way of stopping it skating around?
