Tony S 2 #1 Posted April 4, 2010 I bought this generator through E-bay. I think it is a one off, built specially for a customer. All the hardware on the generator is metric and it has two 16amp 240 volt outlets and a circuit breaker, so I presume it is European. It is mounted on a plate welded to a mule drive bracket and the weight of the generator leaning forward tensions the belt. I don't think the mounting is strong enough to stand a lot of driving around with it mounted on the front. I have tried using it and it powers lights O.K. but struggled with the kettle. It originally belonged to the previous owners father-in-law and was rarely used. I think it could do with a good work out under a steady load! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky-(Admin) 23,147 #2 Posted April 4, 2010 Is there a gage to show you the voltage while its running? I need to get my tractor running almost full speed to get the correct voltage out of my 4000 watt unit. Mike...... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tony S 2 #3 Posted April 4, 2010 Hi, yes there is a gauge, when I was running the lead light it only needed about 2/3 revs to give a nice even non flickering light and it showed 250+ volts but when I plugged the kettle in it pulled back to about 150 volts even at full throttle. I have to admit the clutch plate is not good on that tractor. I have got a laser shaft speed monitor that I use for setting the throttle stops on the tractors. Perhaps I should try this on the generator pulley and see if the clutch or the belt is slipping. The engine pulled back a bit but not as much as I expected. Regards Tony.

Confused99 2 #4 Posted April 5, 2010 Might have a bad voltage regulator too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
