The Westinghouse Ipro4200 does not come with a wheel kit. To make matters worse a search for a wheel kit for this unit from the company cannot be found, yet a close inspection shows that provisions exist on the frame for a kit, so why is one not available?
In my search for one I happened to notice a similarity to this frame and that of the Wen generator, so I purchased the Wen kit to see if this would be a quick solution. I couldn't find it on Amazon, so I bought it at Lowes.
Starting with the stationary feet I can see that the lineup is too perfect to be a coincidence. the sizes though are a bit off, requiring a few washers to correct. Moving to the wheel side all of the parts seem to fit perfectly except for the fact that the locking pin is a bit too short so i took some material off the wheel to fix this. I could have just procured a longer locking pin or elongated the hole in it but it didn't matter.
Finally, the handle, fit perfectly, the only modification to the generator was the drilling of the two holes to secure the handle locking bracket. An almost perfect fit of so many parts cannot be a coincidence. a cheap and easy solution for a wheel kit for this generator.
