Replacement Generator
Got to agree that Yanmar puts out a heck of an engine. I have one of
their tractors (which is a red John Deere). Yep, Yanmar makes tractors for Deere. It is powerful for a small tractor, runs all day of very little fuel and once I got rid of that puny Japanese battery and put in a group 24, starts every time even after sitting for months. If I was buying new and had a choice, I would but the Yanmar, but my experience with the Perkins has also been good.
