Can Anyone Help??? Stuck with an extended generator... 84PT40!!!!

Scott,

Starting to sound like a prior owner modification to remove the
locking slider bar that I would not care for if it was mine. The
small stop tabs at the back of the tray runners will not stop it under
a hard stop. Seems like a few years back, someone posted about their
genset tray sliding out and landing on the road in front of them under
a hard braking scenario. Oooops! Anyone else remember that post?
