P.M. alternator
Posted by HH56 On 2017/4/12 18:54:17
I am wondering if anyone has experience with permanent magnet alternators such as this one. It is for a small Kubota tractor and a similar unit is used by John Deere on their small tractors. Output is 12v at 14 or 20 amps respectively.
Haven't found dimensional or running specs yet but the thin size that appears from the photo is intriguing. The output would be perfect for keeping a second 12v battery running an AC unit charged when an owner didn't want to convert to 12v.
There is a poster on the AACA forum who has a regular alternator installed on his 29 that is under the car and running off the transmission output flange. I've asked if he could provide photos but am thinking it might be possible to do something similar on a later car using a small alternator like this one. Possibly it could even be turned 180 and mounted to the front of the generator and pulley -- providing there is enough clearance to the fan.
Any thoughts?
