There is no pulley,and it you put one on from another motor that has a pulley the debris screen will cover it partially.
The rear hydro shaft is a good place.

Something like this is another possibility

I think the most simple solution is to carry a deep cycle battery on back and charge it when the tractor is not in use. The extra weight is always welcome on a small machine anyway. Although that little genny is only a little bigger than a deep cycle battery, and you wouldn't have to worry about recharging.

you can run a microwave and a heater in the cab and heat up some soup with that setup...

I was thinking that an early GM style Alternator would be the easiest to wire in but the mounting would take a little fabrication. I am not sure how much Horsepower would be lost to an additional larger alternator, that may be another thing to think about.

I got everyone's creative juices flowing lol!

You nail it! :ROTF2:

I was tempted to propose a wind generator since he always snow on windy day! LMAO

Ok let's stay focused on real solution, a 30A stator you said? I like that...Wich one? :HeadScratch:

The output shaft of the hydro is most likely a no go, unless maybe you fab an adapter to run the kubota stator directly inline with the shaft. (there is really not much clearance for a pulley to drive the stator with) I beleive that kubota stator is only good for 15-20 amps. you can go for a mini alternator that will do 60+ amps if you cand find where to mount it. make sure that if you do use an alternator, that you are spining it the right direction. it will produce power turning either direction, but it will not cool itself if turned the wrong way (this is not a problem on stators like the one J-mech showed, which is probably the reason that he showed it)

A tractor with an auxiliary genset. Sam, you're a genius! Where do you put the Blu ray player and Flat screen? Perhaps a heads-up display? Yeah, that's the ticket!

Honestly, I have the exact same cab, and wanted to do the exact same thing as macman. I wasn't going to post anything about it till I had it figured out and installed. So, I had already been working on the best solution. My plan was the small alternator I listed, but hadn't settled on an exact one because I hadn't found the amp ratings yet. Just like any other alternator, I'm sure there are different amp rated ones.

Make a pulley like this:
(Please disregard the the other things in the pic, it's for another idea.)

Then mount the alternator off to one side, or below. I was looking to add about 30 amps. Just need to find an alt to do it. I run 6 30w lights, the win wiper, PTO and wanted to add a heater for a total estimated amp draw, (everything running) of 43amps. Adding a second alt to the system of 30 amp gives a total of 45 available. Plenty. Second alternators don't cause problems. Actually there are several trucks and vans that have 2. Wiring on the machine doesn't have to change, and the additional HP needed for this alt will be under 1 hp, so that really isn't a concern.

Roland mentioned a 30Amp stator for the Kohler. I can't seem to find one, but I did find a 25amp. Still not enough on it's own, but I might install it so I have an available 55 amps with the 2 alternators. It only draws amps when needed. That's the job of the V.R.
