Default Generator attachment.

So I dug this old gen set out of a dark spot in the shop. Saw one for a Cub cadet recently and thought I would re-purpose this one. So I will split this up and put a pulley on it and a mount for one for the 129's. I will have a good running left over 11HP B&S if anyone local wants it. "free" or maybe trade something small.

Has anyone else here done this? or have most of the ones I see purchased as an attachment?

I have an old air compressor head off a truck also.. Was thinking of setting up a compressor as well.

Me thinks the "shaft" is tapered on the motor and a tapered hole on the alternator.

Could be.. I will machine a shaft for it if need be and attach a pulley. I thought about that when I saw the mounting.

How are you going to support the end of the alternator that attaches to the engine? Crankshaft supports it on that end.
Do you have a lathe with a taper attachment?
The shaft is tapered.

I own several lathes.. Yes I can taper. I can also cut threads. There are 4 bolts that thread directly into gen housing. I can easily build a frame and bolt to them. I also own a line bore, a Bridgeport, a drill press, several welders and so on and so on.. This is not some tiny company I own here Jon...

If you own all that and know how to use it, and know all this stuff, then why did you start a thread asking if anyone here has done it? Sounds like you are looking for advice?
Quit asking, build it and show us how smart and good you are.

You can cut threads on any lathe. I have a small Atlas. Doesn't even have quick change gears, and it will cut threads. That's not impressive. Having a taper attachment and knowing how to use it, is more impressive. Let's see you go cut the shaft and build the support. Quit posting and go work!!!

I can't believe you didn't know that gen sets use a tapered shaft. Good luck getting the motor off. They're usually stuck pretty good.

I'd kind of like to see these questions answered.

All the ones you see are built as belt driven units. You can still buy them new. Northern Tool sells them.
Yes, if you can machine, a alternator head can be converted. It's possible that the company who made the alternator may even have a drive end cap to convert it.

Yeah, I didn't remember seeing this in previous threads in the Homemade section. But I wasn't looking specifically for it though.

WOW.. Wipes my brow! That was so freakin difficult.. think it took me longer to get the tools out the box.. 45 min.. actually more like 20 once I got it out and up where I could work on it

Oh look.. Little feet to help in making the support.. This is really a lot easier than people might try to make you think it is..

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.
