Kubota Charging system from scratch

[Curtis in Texas]

I think we must have lost our audience George.
I told you we shouldda had some dancing girls a beer bottles in the pictures!


Headers Flanges are next. If you guys are interested GOOGLE Anti Reversionary Headers.
The plan is to have the header flange built so that once I start fitting the engine in the cradle I can judge where to put the header. I'm wanting to copy the Triumph header output into the stock double mufflers. Since the factory exhaust has some special sound baffles they may be worth more intact to the Triumph guys.

We'll start a new thread on the exhaust in the appropriate section so follow along if you're interested.

I sent George on a quest to find us a 1" stub shaft for the drive pulley to flywheel.

You haven't lost us Curtiss. Just sitting quietly with rapt attention. Excellent work on the alternator.

As noted in an earlier posting, Kubota does make an adapter for this engine, but it's not cheap.

Or you could do like Dieselbikin did on his D902/CVT. Just head down to the local Tractor Supply and grab a sprocket/shaft combo. And with with the lathe you have Curtiss, you could turn the teeth off as well as index the holes. Likely a good deal cheaper than an OEM Kubota part.

Since the Alt. is done guess the next conversations belong in the Build thread till we need to jump to a specific forum where it is best place to discuss that part of the project. Like done here in electrical for the alternator project and should do in the CVT forum when we get to the CVT. Am posting links in the build thread and visa versa to keep it all smoothly connected.

Mod's can you move this part of the conversation to the build thread then delete this post? Thanks in advance.

If it was the UK, with the rain we get, I would either make up a small shield/cover to protect the alternator from anything thrown up as well as the wet.
Another idea might be to combine the belt cover and alternator shield/cover?
