    Hurricane season

    I grew up in S.Fla, had several gensets ( bought first one in 1990 ) but in all those years of Hurricanes and Tropical storms I might have put about 6hrs of use on them. Now after living in Atlanta Georgia for 15yrs I've got just over 72hrs of use from my 003a...Go Figure!

    M37 vs b1

    Engines are the same only Canadian model had different engine ( & Tranny). B1 came with a NP420 tranny with ever so slightly gearing change. B1 has turn signals.
