I just picked up a 8hp acme engine ( italian made) diesel generator with electric start and fuel pump to mount tank seperatly. Now that I got it home I realized how loud it is. I plan on making a hush box for it to quiet it down a little but not going to go to crazy because I dont want it to overheat.
I want to make it mobile on a movable cart and mount it on the front of my ford e350. If I do it this way it will be the the furthest away from me when im sleeping and less likely to vibrate the truck to much. I also could roll it even further in the the woods once I set up camp. Im pretty sure the front end would have no trouble carrying the extra weight since similar front ends carry plows which are much heavier. What do you guys think
