Hurricane Ida has killed my old Black Max generator, and I am looking for a reasonably priced replacement generator head. It is a Powermate PM0496750 (6750 running watts), and it needs to match up with my Honda 13 horsepower GX 390 engine, which has what looks to be a 5/8" x 7/8" tapered output shaft, length of taper at about 1-1/4". Doesn't have to match the exact wattage as my old generator head, just in the ball park. Even better if it will bolt up to my current bell housing. The only one I have been able to find online is over $1,000, which is more than a whole new generator. Any ideas?

it all depends on if you are looking for a money pit project...
lol
also take a look over at northern tool.
they had heads or alt's over there at one time for a good price on good quality units.
the good honda GX engines sell for 800-900 bucks retail new.
so 1/2 of new would be a place to start... as far as value.
and if you are buying I always like to buy as if it was just for scrap prices.
grin
yea a good quality low cost back up gen or two is always a part of a good plan!
it is a good trading item if things get real bad...
or you can give it to a friend in need during an BIG event.
