Anybody heard anything about this company?

Here is their website http://www.imperialdiesel.com/index.htm

They make turn key diesel generators.

  Every 10 miles down any road around here there is a Menonite shop bolting together diesel driven anything incluiding gen sets. The local shop stocks some used aircolled Listers and Petters along with the Jap and American small air cooled engines.Most have a large lathe plus a drill press and turn out adater plates.
  They have yet to discover the ST generators from China however.
    They will also cobble together just about any engine to a clutch and reduction drive to run a flat belt pulley or a 540/1000rpm pto shaft. They bolt the engine/pto to a cart. Then hitch horses to the front and a forage harvestor/baler/mower-condiitoner etc to the back of this cart. Looks  odd and unhandy as can be.   

  This company makes adapter plates to bolt just about any engine to any load.          http://www.phxgrp.com/engine.htm

Yeah,  I notice this too, absolutely no hipocrasy there, nope.  They use a phone off their land to negotiate sales of their gen sets to customers as well.

I think Will Rogers said that.
