J854D 139 #3 Posted May 29 Looks like a Leece-Neville alternator. They were used on heavy trucks and equipment. It looks like the tag says 14 volts & 130 amps. (hard to read) I worked on those units back in my days in an auto electrical repair shop. That thing will sure keep your battery charged and run all sorts of accessories if the 6 HP engine will be able to spin it under load! It would be interesting to know the history of your tractor/alternator! 🤔 -JD- 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

About 1,800 watts -- some serious output that could handle larger electric actuators instead of hydraulics. Rule of thumb for electric generators is two horsepower per 1000 watts of continuous load. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
