One guy said it looks like a Pincor.

I actually used it at work yesterday..

its a SAE 609A taper, pretty standard for a gen engine less than 20hp..might want to check ebay for a used tapered generator crank, might be easier than cutting a taper on yours..I did a refit on an old 8kw Generac generator, the brushed gen end went bad so I wanted to replace it with a new generator end, only to find that Generac back in those days had their OWN taper standard on the crankshaft! So I replaced the crank with a used one off eBay..$50..easy

I rigged a small tank up last night so I could test it. Runs great and is quieter than I expected. Pugged my lathe into it to try out the 220. Going to see if it'll run my 120v wire feed welder.

Well honestly I broke one of the brushes messing with it and got a new pair. Other than that it was in good shape.

All put together. It runs my HF 220 welder without lugging down at all. It's going to be perfect for onsite welding. big enough to run the welder yet small enough to load without help or a crane. I can pick it up& load it in my van. I'm building a rack to set it on the back of my Quad. Got some bridge work over a ditch out in the woods where we go riding.

OOOO Pretty
