That was fascinating to watch. Your tenacity rewarded you big time! I’d say that that was a great deal at $0.00👍🏻What a sweet dog. Hey Ash, you’re not really tied up. 🤣
Lol shhhh don’t tell ash!! Thanks for watching.
Cool little generator. 👍
It's supper cool!
Gas cap on! Lol great video!
Glad you enjoyed
There's probably not more than a couple hundred hours on that thing, maybe less. Hope you had fun sorting it out. May it live on! I had one like that in a bush (work) camp in the NWT one summer (1976 - I'm dating myself), we used it for lights in the kitchen tent at night, and toast in the morning!
It's a really well built piece of hardware. It really says a lot about the quality of things built in the 60's. Now days, everything has built in obsolescence. This will be awesome to own.. Thanks again!
@@NorthernHomeGarage I owned at one point a '66 Honda 300cc 'Dream' (really). In '66 it had turn signals, and electric start. Overhead cam twin. Springer front end from factory. Drove it to Nova Scotia and back from Montreal, highway speeds, each way in a single day (11-12 hrs). Bought 4yrs old for $300, sold 6yrs later for same amount. Probably still running somewhere.
