Curios how many hrs a day are you running it and what is fuel consumption? I have a PTO generator about like yours I bought used over the winter. I have not had to use it yet other than to run it every couple months to make sure it will work when needed'
will be running mine with either 1650 or 1655 Oliver gas Might be a little expensive but better than being without along with cattle that have to be watered out of well
 
That TV antenna across the electric lines looks like a big problem, hope it is downstream of your main disconnect. Stay safe.
 
Ok thanks for all the replies....

Got our feet back under us.
Awesome ending deal

I left a 55 gallon oil drum there with a note to call me. About 11.30 am Tues, Stan the man calls me, What's the need for the barrel?
I share that we want to put the antenna back up, he says, we have two lift trucks here now, we'll just screw it back to your fascia better than it was, Awesome!!!!!!!!!!.

Now to the questions.
I only cycled the tractor and gennie on for up to two hours at a time.

Bailey, 18 yr old, buffed the metal out for Grandpa and then took it to FFA tractor day in February.
This tractor was Father in law's uncle's machine. This 77 tractor was traded in for a Super that had green wheels, but that trade owner had just put new tires on this 77. So, the shop decided to change wheels out , thus this tractor ended up green wheels, and the trade family got their super tractor with the better tires and fresh spruced up red wheels.
Sorry to be long.
This 77 is on the Kewanee elevator and 4 basket tedder, pulls seed wagon too.

So Elmer, my father in law, 75,
Had several uncles, two of which were in town, in the shop, Rotert Brother's garage.
One was Ford agent, one the Oliver agent.

Elmer has quite the story about Grandpa Frank getting to buy his new Oliver 70. It was drove home in the dark after Saturday night church in 1946.

Germantown Greens son here - Bailey at Antique Acres

The rear tires were not traded out for super tires at the time. Only the front tires were. The front cast centers and rear rims and centers were painted to match the front rims so the front rims would then match.

Side note, the rear tires are still the original tires that rolled off the factory line at Charles City.
 
The engine oil and filter is changed every 50 hours, or close to it. The oil level is checked before each use. Grandpas been using cen-pe-co oils in everything and we have had 0 problems with any of the 15 tractors we have.
