    Unicor NF2D Light Tower/Genset

    I used these on both the NF-2D and also a warehouse cart. Fit great and zero issues. You should start your own thread for additional questions and to document the work on your unit.

    If you replace the tire, replace the tube. Their inexpensive and your already in there. Recommend you use silicone grease on the beads. Makes removing the tires at a later date MUCH easier.

    This tire will work. Same tread and size I used, but different brand.

    Unicor NF2D Light Tower/Genset

    Mine runs about the same temperature as yours. Hasn’t been an issue in the 6 years I’ve owned it. I had two Kubota engines. one in a Kubota L345 tractor (traded it in on a new Yanmar YT359C tractor) and my current one in the light tower. Both used the same temperature thermostat. Have heard...

    I would remove the damaged parts and use a hydraulic press to bend things back. An anvil or good vise and bench to beat on wouldn’t hurt either. The “no frills” presses aren’t that expensive and should work fine. Use heat if you need to. It will take some coaxing, but it is definitely...

    Looks like you can anchor down that one side and pull the bar back over while it’s in the up position.

    Yea That was fairly common damage to these. You will never find new parts. Best bet is post the pictures in the parts wanted forum. It’s simply the tow bar and swivel plate. I’ve seen a lot worse. Either fix what you have or hope you find another unit someone is parting out. Watch GP for...

    Unicor NF2D Light Tower/Genset

    I never found the TO for this. It’s restricted for some reason and my FOIA request went unanswered. The manuals for the engine and generator are posted in the TM section but never found anything for the rest of the unit. The tow bar and steering setup, wheels/tires, etc were used on several...

    Yea Kubota is proud of their parts. I damaged the one on my tractor and the price of a new one was insane. Luckily the local radiator shop fixed it up like new. Glad yours is up and running

    Welcome to Steel Soldiers Here are two pictures of the fuel filters. They have been changed since and all filters are Wix. The manuals are in this thread and also in the TM section. Available free for download. Have you read this entire thread? Long I know but informative. All the...

    Their scarce at auction. I missed the auction that sold a few out of RRAD a few weeks ago. The amount of light they throw out still amazes me. Extremely happy with it.

    Unicor NF2D Light Tower/Genset

    Had to do overnight repairs to my East border fence after neighbors cows decided grass was greener on my side. The NF2D Light Tower came to rescue and provided more than enough light for the repair job. Beats working by truck headlights any day. Powerlines are for the oil wells in the area...

    They are great!! So much better than that orange light. Those bulbs are rated for at least 15,000 hours of use I believe. Should last a while.

    Remove the bulb end support clips and move them over the appropriate distance. The backing place is fairly thin so the screws start easily. Just don’t use a long screw even though the space behind is clear of wires directly behind that location. That way you don’t have to worry about...

    Both type bulbs started just fine. About equal amount of time from ignition start to full light for each.

    Unicor NF2D Light Tower/Genset

    No issues at all. They have been flawless. The MH bulbs were the ones designed for and originally installed in the unit. This is according to original Specs/documentation I’ve found online. I think I’ve posted a picture of it also. Not sure why the receiving units later changed over to...

    Want another one and of course the surplus supply has dried up. Portland is too far as shipping would be killer. It’s been very handy to hook up and tow around for ranch for power. Beats lifting up my other generator into the pickup/trailer bed. Having the light available when I need it has...
