Thanks dkmc,

Believe me, Kubota parts are not cheap either.   :-\

Oh yes, I know......

Very nice looking unit. Runs nice as well.
But if you paint the Kubota Cat yellow, do the price of the Kubota parts automatically triple in cost?
 ;D

Listeroid Engines / Re: Idler gear wear pics

The crank gear has sharp edges, galled buildup on the tooth faces, etc. It's hobbing your bronze gear to death. Some careful de-burring and smoothing will stop the problem.

I only have an out-of-date web presence that shows some of our parts inventory. I am happy to provide fully detailed pictures/details/and so on for any interested party and open to any pertinent discussion.

I'd only be a gawker, so thank you, but no need to bother.
Best of luck with the sale-liquidation.

Sorry to hear of your life changes.
Is there a website where a guy can see pictures of the operation and inventory? If not, it probably would help considerably in the ultimate sale of the business.

USA? UK? NZ? Mars??

I spose calipornia would want some hefty licensing fees to throw some panels on your lawn in an emergency as well.

Naw, outlaw them completely as well. The sooner the sheeple get hungry and thirsty, the sooner and easier it is to control them or round them up. Is it possible this shut-off exercise was a test to see how they handled themselves? Gotta be room for just one more conspiracy theory....

That's a very nice bit of vintage iron.

So where are they doing it right?  Shed some light.

Good question.....
What is 'right'??
AFAIK even in New York State, you are allowed to purchase, install, and operate an emergency generator with no 'fees'.
I'm sure the install must meet electrical codes, and possibly a building permit may be required, but those are standard.
There are many businesses of all sizes around here with back up generators.
I'd like to know what all IS required in Cali, that it makes loosing an entire store freezer section less costly than having
a back up gen set.

145
Stores cant install backup power generators, because the fees, permits and regulations cost more annually than the expenses from blackouts.

I saw that in a vid earlier this week. Grocery store ended up giving away the contents of the freezers.
That just seems totally unjust......and complete lunacy. The MAN wants to be in total control of you, and needs you to be helpless.

Well, you guys aren't exactly slinging acid, but you sure know how to Fart in each others general direction.

People in Colorado have already gotten arrested for collecting and/or diverting rain water. It's not far off when any solar not connected to the grid or solar 'provider' will be illegal, and any generator running other than an emergency power outage will be illegal. Startup up your Listeroid and get busted by your neighbors. Occupy your bare land (camping, off grid, tiny house) in certain states, without being connected to utilities, illegal. Maybe all these are laws already but no ones told me yet.

Well, if they gave Tesla more respect, we'd all be enjoying wireless electricity these days.

I haven't watched TV in over 10 years......WHY did they shut off the power??
I am on the internet, but don't look at the news sites regular. Did anyone have forewarning on this? Enough time to stock up on gasoline?

Why wouldn't Cali require the permit for gen sets over FIVE hp.....just to make life a total PITA?

Gentleman, glad to see a quick response from a few of you. We all, (group members from all over the country and the world) can learn from your experiences with this situation. Sounds like stocking up on water or having a well is a GOOD idea. Please share your experience here and tell us how you managed this situation.
