My 1650 needs more electrical output!!
i have a 1650 that is full time cab/thrower duty. i am installing a small electrical heater to clear the windshield and take the chill out since at times I'm in it for an hour or more if we get a large snowfall.
the heater actually puts out pretty good heat but manual says it draws 12 amps on low and 20 amps on high. i don't think my 15 amp electrical system it up to the task... even with led headlights that draw pretty much nothing. I have an electric windshield wiper but only turn on for short periods of time. Also have an led strobe light which draws very little. and the electric pto I'm sure draws at least 3-5 amps. so even on the low setting I've pretty much maxed out my electrical system. reason i started this thread is i need ideas on how to get more current without making the tractor look stupid lol. i am considering a very small alternator of some sore off the back of the hydro shaft? or how hard would it be to get another stator mounted elsewhere on the machine and just run two stock charging systems? I have another stator flywheel and regulator just not sure where it could fit? any ideas would be appreciated. I figure i should have about 30 amps total to do this right.

You could install a 30A stator that Kohler makes. But then, you would have to get a 30A V/R and upgrade your wiring to 10 Ga Wire, to handle all the extra amperage. Hmmmmm, would it be worth it...????

So most kohler stators mount the same/use same magnets? maybe this 25 amp command conversion kit would work? price is right and would look pretty stock other than regulator looks different and of course wiring needs to be beefed up.
what do you think Roland? http://www.ebay.com/itm/KOHLER-COMMA...item4acce639c3

propane heater? Li'l Buddy? You get enough air leakage that CO would not be a concern. Or, get one of those heaters they make for trucks and fab a hot water circuit by wrapping the muffler with a copper coil and put a small electric pump on the circuit. The Li'l Buddy heaters work pretty well, just need to find a place to put it.

the cab would pretty much only trap body heat. engine and exhaust heat is directed out the front of the tractor

Could you run another battery off the back of the cub in a custom battery box for the heater and run it in parallel to your current battery? I'm not good at all with electrical, but that was just a thought.

my main problem is the windshield will frost up if its really cold out. If the sun is out it is not normally a problem but i do most of my snow removal at night after work. I think i can squeek by with this heater on low heat which is 12 amps but still taxing the electrical system. did a test of this heater and it actually seems to move a lot of air and its pretty warm too.

The main culprit in fogged up windows is the breathing process. Air circulation in the cab would help.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
