    My Power tech 8k generator decided to take a dump. 23 years old, 30,000 hours but the Kubota is shot.
    I would like to find someone that has a 6-8 k in stock and can install. Mister Wrench is the only one I know and don’t know how far out he is.
    I don’t want a apu.

    I would guess any large RV place would have what you are looking for.

    Dad has a portable Diesel generator. I'm pretty sure it has electric start, and remote as well. Less than 30 hours on it. It's in Bloomingdale, OH. If you're interested I can get you his contact info.

    You might try Big Rig Products in OKC. I know they do APUs and they'll install roof top AC units so they might do generators also. Really good guys there.

    You say portable so probably aircooled.

    I know them, screwed up a few things on my truck, but they might do what I need.
    Onan’s are quiet but not easily serviced, trying to see if one will fit in my box. Going to check closely tomorrow.
