Onan and Kohler also had boxers similar to Brigs & Stratton's. B & S still makes them. I have a US Army generator from the late 40s with a boxer of unknown make, it's 1500 watt so maybe 8 hp, it sure is smooth and quiet running. Anybody with any idea who made it? No markings anywhere on the engine just a rebuild tag on the generator head. Andrew 1984 Westy "Speed Bump" 1996 VW Jetta Trek "Little Beep" (the wife's car)
