That would be cool to have but where would you get parts from, Tractor Supply?

Kinda looks like the top front section from an old tractor! Minus the front axle, frame, rear axle, seat and driveline.

They were farm built from an old tractor and a welding generator from Hobart. T have an old Hobart book telling how and showing picture the the owners sent in.

Lincoln made shaft driven generators too, for the same purpose.

Each owner built thier own using whatever tractor or auto engine they could scrounge up. I don't have any way to copy & post the pictures in the booklet from Hobart, but they vary from simple to complex, depending on the skills of the builder, and how much time & money they had to put it together.
