Talk About Anything Thread V4

Ive been wanting to put a nice slice of fried yellow squash on a burger.
Also, a slab of mozzarella done up like a cheese stick on there too.

Lettuce, tomato, fries, mayo, pickle.... BACON.

Sounds good, Mmmmmm. I just got back from eating. Fried green tomatoes was on the menu, LOL. No burger though, But a grilled Brat was too, LOL. Plus fried cabbage with bacon, and sweet n sour chicken. I'm stuffed. And broke too. We ate at the Casino, LOL.

Warning!! New story in my signature. Read it while you can. I got another true one brewing, LOL.

I actually lost motivation to work on mowers pretty bad! going since over 1 year now, but there I could motivate me someday, but rn I can't anyhow. IDK what to do lol since the whole shop is overfilled with crap and all my savings are wasted!

I'm thinking of getting another dog. If I do, I'm going to name him Dodge so he never leaves my driveway.

Think @mightyraze will like this one.

Charge your phone.

It's okay, Rich took his confidence pills today.

Nice.... looks to be about an 85 Murray GT like mine with a Sears 3pt.

lol looks like a small fight in here XD

QUESTION TO YOU ALL!!

Since I have the problem, that my MTDs battery discharges faster than it charges,  I need a solution. Here are pics from the 2 different ,,Alternators" I have for it:



the left 1 is the stock 1 (have a spare from a blown flatty)
the right 1 is the 1 off the replacement engine that's in mowing Murray, swapped a 2 output wire 1 into it

the pics from the 2 wire ,,Alternator"







the red wire coils seem to be thicker, and the black wire coils seem to be thinner.
The thick coils are only on 1 side, the thin coils are on the opposite side.

the Pics of the other only 1 output ,,Alternator"





this 1 has thicker wired coils that go all the way around!


SO MY QUESTIONS:

- what happens if I connect the 2 wires from the 2 wire ,,alternator" to get more battery charging boost?
- does the 1 wire ,,Alternator" have more battery charging boost? And if Yes, would it be worth it to swap the ,,Alternators" out to get that problem solved??

MTD runs 2 12V 18W LED lights off the battery.

Thanks. would be appreciated for your help!!!

The 2 wire stator (black and red wired one) The red wire is for charging the battery, on the plug end for the red wire where the black covering is is the diode to turn the AC output to DC output for hooking up straight to the battery. The black wire on the same stator is for lights only and is AC output. To use both wires for battery charging, you need to put a diode on the black wire, just like the red wire to change the power to DC, then connect the 2 wires together on the other end of the plug going to the battery. You will increase amps then, for charging the battery.

The 1 wired stator, with the coils going around all the way, would have the most output. You would need to put a diode on the single wire because it looks like there is no diode on it. Probably went to a regulator first, then to the battery. The regulator having the diode in it. This stator would have the same output or a little more then the 2 wired stator with both of the wires combined. The single wired stator has the thick wire in coils all the way around. More thick wire means more output, always. The 2 wired stator has thick on half and thin on half, which makes me thing the combined output of the 2 wires would be slightly less then the single wired stator.

If you have a bad stator laying around, you can unwrap the wire, taking note how many turns are on each coil and the direction with the path of the wrap of the wire. Then rewrap the coils with more turns and keeping the same direction and path of the wrap. You can use automotive starter solenoid wire by taking them apart and getting the wire out of them. There is alot of wire on those and the same type of wire too. 2 solenoids would be plenty of wire to make a high output stator. Then solder a diode on it. For the extreme of things.

THANK YOU!! I'M VERY APPRECIATED!!

Oh boy.....







It would appear I've found another one! Hahaha.

I just need a pressure lube model 46 now and I'll have a set!

You and those pressure lubes!

Yep!! Now if I could only find myself a horizontal shaft pressure lube opposed.....

JEALOUS!!
That thing needed to go into my Dynamark...

JK LOL

Ha, that wasn't exactly my first idea for it.

Yay you're charging your phone.

Me and Rich were just drooling over that horizontal shaft pressure lube last night, haha.

I bet you guys were!

Also as a minor update I dove into the new pressure lube opposed last night and found some very nice crosshatching on the cylinder walls:



Good to know! She should clean up quite nicely I'm thinking.
