LawnMower powered generator and propane conversion

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Countryside : One Thread

I ran across the following link describing how to build a power generator using lawn mower engine and a car alternator. This web page also contains a link to another article on converting a small gas engine to propane. The owners of this web site do sell parts and assumably at a profit. I am not suggesting anybody buy anything from them. Just that the info is good start for anybody wanting to do this sort of thing. The address is:

I wonder why they didn't leave the rig on the mower platform to make it protable?

For the Y2k non event, I mounted a bracket and alternator at the grass chute and changed the blade to a pulley and belt.
