I also purchased a spare crank pulley and am working on welding a triple V-belt pulley to it to allow me to drive a 20 KW generator head, so she can quietly power the house during the next week long power outage (like the two we had with the hurricane last August and snow storm last October).

In preparation for the latest mods on Crashy, this morning I finished chopping the back of the roof off. The final cut will actually be on the other side of the tape, but I left myself enough material to be able to bend it over and weld it to give it some strength and cover the opening.
