The batteries are mounted high, it has a narrow track and very short WB. It is VERY top heavy. I filpped mine! It was difficult to back it up even with a bulldozer due to the short wheelbase. It is very difficult to service the mag as it is almost against the bellhousing. There are thrust "buttons" on the cam and accessory (water pump/mag) shaft. If they are not kept adjusted, the shafts will move back and forth and take the seals out of the water pump and maybe even the pump housing.

What can I say nice about it....? Hmmm I got it for free and got more money when I sold it for the engine.
Thanx for the info about the waterpump.

I have bought it for backup power at home, not to go ride with it ore what so ever.

And i like it to restore those things.

Fueltanks i never use, i always use jerrycans, after a while i put the fuel in my car and by new one for the generator, so it can't get old.

Battery's whon't be installed also, 1 kabel from my daf to the generator is enough.

And i bought it for the engine, got 2 daf's and both with jxld engine's, i know that engines for a generator are different then the engines for the cars.

It's just i whant to have it generator.

But mine was not for free.

Greetings.
