Default Canadian Powerhouse Generator

As long as we have a couple threads going on generators, I thought I'd show what the Canadian powerhouse looks like. They are somewhat rare. It took me about 4 years to find one to buy, then a few more showed up within a year.

The insides are the same, but notice the tapered edges and larger diameter of the main body. I don't know why it has a thicker body, as the common powerhouse is plenty heavy already.

I don't remember where that one came from.

The Canadians sometimes beefed up components from the US design, eg. rear engine mounts & extra bolts on the banjo housing of the first '28 rear end.

Hey Tom, looks like my slant case you rebuilt with an EVR. Now if I could only find a few original Canadian cut out relays.

I recall something about a C stamped on the cover but can not remember who told me.
