A lot of "plastic" fenders on tractors have a fiberglass or some other fiber component to them. Very rarely are they a plastic that could be welded back together. I was working for New holland when they introduced Plastic fuel tanks on their Genesis tractors and some of them were getting holes...

Line conditioners smooth out the THD but they can cost as much as the generator. See my post above. This is the best way to do it.

There are line conditioners, but a big one costs as much as a generator. It's not really practical. See my post above.

As a follow up, name brand doesn't buy you clean power automatically in a generator. The Northern tool Powerhorse generators are far cheaper, but meet the 5% THD requirement.

Call me tomorrow. We are in the process of reworking our tech support department. So there are things that are being transferred into new tech guys hands...so the transition is a bit choppy right now with new tech guys coming in. 650-866-0063.

It doesn't have to be visible. It messes with the control circuit and transformer. What you are describing is typical of that kind of problem. That's why I went out on a limb and mentioned it. Generac, if you call them, should have an idea what THD that model puts out.

Unless it is a X series Generac unit, it is NOT clean...and likely the source of the damage. It can be immediate if it is dirty enough or cumulative if it is off the specs we provide, but not at 25% THD like some.

What generator was it? If it was over 5% THD, it could burn up the boards (not clean power). We do have a warning in the manuals and on the website about it. It could also not be enough power? I think you need about 9000 watts. When you shut down, was it always disconnected? Floating...

Usually, when this happens, it's an issue with not having serviced it lately. A lot of times you can open it up, remove the connectors, blow them out and replug them and things will start working again. We recommend that those units that are used frequently be cleaned out every 3 to 4 months...

Check out without choosing it. It's a Christmas/Holiday special created for a short period of time. No way to rewrite the whole site for a few day special. Just ignore it, take a screen shot of the page to prove it just in case.

hmmm. last image wouldn't load

If you want to "buy" one...Everlast has a new one coming out and has an existing one. The old one has a tilting table. The new one is adjustable height and is a pack and go type.

I bought mine just like it at Airgas. But that was years ago. Also I buy stuff from Amazon more and more, and a few things from Ebay much cheaper. Look for the Strong Hand alternative. It's generally about as well built and cheaper.

Cost versus benefit. We don't mind sponsoring things, but we do a wider swath of sponsorship now than ever before. We do have to take into account what benefit it is for the company as well. Forums are fading somewhat in favor of social media giants and "clubs" or interest pages. Not saying...
