Try autozone or pepboys. Bought 3 from autozone yesterday for 400 a piece. They are made well with 7 hp Honda clone engines. Couldn't find out who makes the generator part but it looks identical to my generac.

Just noticed local rental place in Eunice just recieved a big shipment. About 1 1/2 hrs from Baton Rouge. Not sure of the traffic that way but 190 is not bad if you are in desperate need.

Thanks for the help guys. Found a 7500 w at Sams w/ Honda engine and electric start .
Found a 5500 at Lowes w/ brigs engine & pull start for $799 the one at Sams was only $999.

Sorry Bob, maybe call industrial welding supply, my neighbor picked up a DeWalt from them.

Hopefully you don't need it.

Make sure you have extra oil....they usually come with it but they want you to change it after it runs for the first 5-10 hours.

I know you guys all know this but I would feel bad if something happened and I did not say this.

Make sure you let the generators cool down before adding fuel. My stepdad had a good friend of his suffer 3rd degree burns by refueling a hot generator.

And then every 20 hours after that.

Fastenal will have generators after the storm, most closed early today and will be closed tomorrow. and if your buying a generator get one with a honda motor before you get a briggs and stration.

industrial supply companies start selling to public during emergencies, but there prices are a little higher but they can get just about anything for you and as much as you want!

Heavy duty tow chain and stainless heavy master lock . Chained to aluminum I beam boat trailer . God help their azz if they make ANY noise trying to take it.
during Gustav generator shut down due to low oil around 2 am .
grabbed pistol and was out the door before it quit putting.
