    changing gear ratio in 600/800 series

    Hi, All, I use a MF 35 to run a 5' tiller on my and and even in 1 low its a little quick. My 640? No way. I know there are a variety of step ups and step downs that were aftermarket or dealer options. I was wondering about substituting a different pair of gears for 1st gear to give...

    Aftermarket gauge cluster for generator only?

    Know what? I'm not tapping the head. I'm going to scab an external temp gauge on it, use my friggin tractor, and either order one of these...

    Aftermarket gauge cluster for generator only?

    Doesn't work. :x With 5v supplying the gauge it needs 50ohm to read midway and straight to ground doesn't even reach the red zone. Probably going to be internal resistance of the gauge itself throwing it off. Math wise it should work just right. Guess I'll be retapping the head to 3/8.

    Aftermarket gauge cluster for generator only?

    I couldn't find one that said anything about magnetic gauges on older tractors, several outlets list the same part number but I've gotten two vastly different senders with the same #. Aftermarket parts for these old tractors are a crap shoot. So far I've had Brake pedal bushings that don't come...

    Aftermarket gauge cluster for generator only?

    That's not how the cluster works. I don't have bimetallic gauges. I have magnetic gauges. I've mentioned that before. You haven't paid attention. The stabilizer is not a regulator, it blinks the voltage on and off constantly, which would make the magnetic gauge simply jump from hot to cold...

    Aftermarket gauge cluster for generator only?

    Well I did a little cutting today with it. Stopped pretty frequently to shoot the head with my IR gun. Steady at 185* while cutting up by the shop. Went into some heavier stuff and came back it read 192* so it seems to be just fine. Had a little dribble out of the vent line but the bottom of...

    Aftermarket gauge cluster for generator only?

    Oh it would. Would also get hotter if it were closer to a 50/50 mix instead of the roughly 33/66 that it was. But that was hot enough for a test. If the motor is at 230* it needs to be unloaded or shut down.

    Just ordered this one. http://a.co/4va8X5V

    Aftermarket gauge cluster for generator only?

    The size of the heatsinks on the IGBTs in an inverter would beg to differ with those people that think heat dissipation doesn't matter with transistors. :lol:

    Aftermarket gauge cluster for generator only?

    I would imagine most of the off the shelf supplies you could find would be switchers. Especially the little mini cigarette lighter plug ones. Dissippating 9W of power to go from 14v - 5v at one amp would be pretty difficult with as small as they are.

    Aftermarket gauge cluster for generator only?

    Oh and my pot of antifreeze mix started boiling at about 230*F and got no hotter, that was 70ohm.

    Aftermarket gauge cluster for generator only?

    That smaller one could probably be mounted in place of the faux stabilizer can.

    Aftermarket gauge cluster for generator only?

    They're pretty common, doubt you'd find one in a parts house. Here's the one I'm looking at, mostly because of the heatsink. May be getting a bit large to mount to the cluster though. Maybe under the dash would be fine. http://a.co/cmf7pIN Here's a much smaller one that still has more...

    Aftermarket gauge cluster for generator only?

    PLA got bad soft at 160*F :oops: I clamped the probe and the sender to the side of the pot. Looks like a straight series resistor isn't going to work. Here's my results from the Sparex sender: 180* - 150ohm 210* - 90ohm 220* - 75ohm Gauge needs: 450ohm - center of travel...
