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.
