Update, after a very busy day in the workshop!

Got the rest of the axle stubs for the Caterpillar 1Y73 finished and
tapped (pic url below) that is an M16 X 2 tap in the picture.

Then spent most of the rest of the day sorting out the Onan mounting
and cleaning up the trolley. It only needed a bit of a wire brush on
the wheels and WD40 on the timber to remove a bit of oily residue.

It's a lot more secure now, and there are proper fasteners instead of
the 6" "Farmers Special" nails holding it down. We also balanced it so
the trolley pivots without undue pressure either way, and the
generator is now properly central on the trolley (side to side)
