Smaller than any car alternator are the units fitted to riding lawnmowers
and garden tractors by John Deere, Kubota, and others.

Try your local farm implement dealer.  I haven't been able to find a net
source for these things.

Does anyone know of a small, belt driven alternator available, probably
from a small car? Don't need much current, but would like it as small as
possible.

Farm alternators aren't small.  One of the smallest I've seen isn't cheap.
Go to Jegs online and look for a Shogun alternator.  Weighs 6 pounds and is
brushless.  I think it's only something like 20 amps though.  IIRC, costs
about $350.

Clare,

I didn't see the "LAWN" in the tractor the first time.  I just didn't think
the 120 amp unit in my Steiger would save much weight.  8-)

If it's from John Deere, chances are Jegs will be cheaper.

The shogun is virtually identical to the afore-mentioned lawn tractor
alternator.

The smallest alternator I've seen is on a John Deere deisel Gator.It's about
3" in diameter and 2 1/2" deep. I don't know what it weights but it can't be
much. Seems to put out lots of power though we use then for transport in an
underground mine with lights on always plus a strobe and a radio.

I own a John Deere Dealership and the alternator used on the Diesel Gator or
the 322 are small, light, and if I remember correctly put out 15 amps.  If
you will email me at sfg...@teleport.com, I'll send you the part number,

It's a disappointment that you couldn't post that information to the group.
This forum is IDEALLY suited for such an exchange,
especially for a 'birds of a feather' price break ??????

Otherwise, most of us have John Deere dealers in the neighborhood and can cut
out the middleman... the US Post Office.   <g>

Both of these alternators are belt drive.  I emailed DTAC, John Deere's
technical service division on Saturday to get a max rpm spec.  With any
luck, I'll hear from them on Monday.

            DTAC Case # 538049 - Alternator AM877740

   I received your DTAC case concerning the possibility of selling
alternators if they could sustain 5000 rpms.  I pulled the     print on
AM877740 and examined the specs.  This alternator should perform
fine at sustained 5000rpms.    Regulated output
should be approximately 40Amps.  Also pulled print of AM877557 but it was
in Chinese.  I can't read Chinese but appears specs
are slightly lower on this alt.  Hope this helps.

There was a poster in one of the aviation newsgroups within
the past few weeks who worked or owned a John Deere
dealership. He mentioned a couple of models of alternators
they carried that were small.

Perhaps one of the regulars ( or that poster ) could post
the details..... sorry but I didn't pay too much attention
to it at the time.
