The at auction price is easily 2-3x what it was, so after the auction house takes their cut (which is 15% now, not 10%) and astronomical freight figures... that large sum isn't as gravy as one might think.
What do you need for parts for your machine?
I actually owe much to this very forum and its users. I am able to do what I do, with the collective knowledge here (and those who I routinely bother by text).
The real killer of functionality are the raised wheel well fenders... if you could find a flat deck trailer and remove all obstacles, that would be the ideal mounting situation. The fenders and hard mounted toolboxes are such a PITA, and always right where you need to go.
Also the trailer used for the 2 gensets are significantly heavier duty than the one you have, in all regards. You can't just adapt the front swivel wheel assy to what you have.
The power plant units like this are a PITA to me. The maintenance is more difficult, there are toolboxes in the way of easily moving around them, and past mobility... not really practical in the civilian world. Do you have a second machine besides photographed? I had the exact trailer you were...
There are some OEM gasket kits up for the LPW2 right now for not much more than the imports
