I have seen a couple of the original VW Industrial engines as fire pump units, complete with magneto ignition. Comes a a very small trailer. I also think I vaguely remember seeing an original VW Generator setup, the one thing I have never seen in the flesh are the VW Air compressors. And yes, I know some where based on the Porsche 356 engine. J. -- Using Opera's revolutionary e-mail client: http://www.opera.com/mail/ |

It would work great. They were very popular a few years ago. As a matter of
fact the 009 Distributor was designed specifically for industrial applications with constant speed engines. 30 or 40 HP and <3000 RPM at 200 lbs is a pretty good power plant. Jim |

http://www.mi-uk.com/vw-history/ Volkswagen A.G. first began selling engines for industrial applications in Germany in 1952. They began with the air-cooled boxer engines which were used successfully in the following industries: Agriculture, Forestry, Mining, Marine, Ground Handling, Municipal, Fire-fighting, Construction, Military, Leisure, Power generation, communications...the list goes on. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volkswa..._cooled_engine In 1967-68, portable sawmill maker, Mighty Mite of Portland, OR., used VW gasoline engines to power the circular saw blades of light sawmills. Later as the US market for VW Beetles declined, the sawmill was modified for other power.
