1952 Trailer and Generator New Jersey $1900

• CATEGORIES: Industrial-Welder-Generator, trailer This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

Here’s a neat combo that Steve spotted.

“1952 Military Jeep Trailer with Onan 5K Generator. This unit kept my house running for three weeks after Super Storm Sandy struck. Ran everything in my house. It struggled with the electric dryer. The generator is made to last forever. Electric start and even has a hand crank for an emergency. Large fuel tank was nice because it would run all day on one tank full and then all night on another tank full of gas. The trailer is solid with no rust. Tires are in good condition. I built a canopy to keep the rain and snow out and it is easily removed. There are multiple 110 outlets around the trailer and one 240/30 amp to connect to my house. There is also a circuit panel. The trailer was garage kept from 1952 to 2009. Contact Martin @ 908-50seven-054five.”

“The Kitchen of the Undesired Animal”

• CATEGORIES: Builds, Features, Industrial-Welder-Generator, International, Unusual • TAGS: This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

Nicolle from Amsterdam facebooked me this morning. He wanted to share his jeeps, which both have tiny kitchens in the rear. Based on the food I saw on his Facebook Page, he doesn’t need a large kitchen to create great looking food. When I asked him to interpret the sign on his jeep, he said it translated as “The Kitchen of the Undesired Animal”.

I wish the picture was more of a closeup. This picture comes from Florida Memory.

“Hillsborough County Health Dept. Mosquito Control project fogging for pests. Early mosquito control spraying consisted of making a “thermal fog,” in which hot diesel oil was mixed with a DDT solution and then vaporized.”

Lycoming Generator Ad on eBay

• CATEGORIES: Advertising & Brochures, Features, Industrial-Welder-Generator This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

Lycoming developed a generator/starter for planes that fit in the back of a jeep.  I am guessing that this ad is probably from an aviation magazine, because I found an article about the Lycoming generator in the 1952 Aviation Weekly. Unfortunately, I  could only view a snippet of it in Google.  There is also a discussion of it at the CJ-3B Page.
