41A Cutout question


[ View Follow Ups ] [ Post Followup ] [ Return to Forum ]

Posted by Dave on July 08, 2001 at 17:59:13 from (138.29.169.43):

I have a 41A with the original generator and 6 volt system. However, I use a 12 volt battery to start it. The generator puts out 20 volts at full throttle (open circuit) and 8 volts at idle (open circuit) so I can actually charge the 12 volt battery with the 6 volt gen (I get about 7 amps charge at full throttle.)
My question: Where can I get a 12-volt on-the-generator-mounted cutout to replace the 6 volt one I have there now? I try not to idle too much because I show discharge at idle and must be back-feeding juice into the generator at low engine speeds. I set the points on the cutout to close at as high a voltage as I could set them, but they close slowly and will burn up if I continue. Did Delco make a look-alike 12 volt cutout (generator mounted?) I'd like to keep it all as original-looking as possible. Otherwise I'd get an alternator. I found a place with cheap 6 volt batteries, ($30) so I imagine I could get one of these and solve the porblem that way too.

BTW, I find that Sylvania 1156 lamps (from my car's back up lights) fit in the old 6-volt sockets and work great! I have magneto so no problem for me on that side.

Thanks for reading all that. Appreciate comments and advice. Ben away from the board for a while so I apologize if this is a repeated topic. Dave

Today's Featured Article - Box Plow Blues - by Tom Schwarz. One of the first implements most tractor owners obtain is the box plow. For very little money, this piece of equipment promises to plow and flatten any hill or vale on your ranch road or farm. At least that's what I thought! As simple as a box plow appears, it can be rather challenging to make work correctly. In our sandy soils of Florida, traction is king. You can never have wide enough tires or heavy enough weights to get all the traction you want … unless you own a monster tractor. U ... [Read Article]
