IHC pto generator

Nicest one we have had!

Is that the same generator that IH hung on the side of an H or M in the late 50's, maybe 60's, and drove from the belt pulley - called the "Electrall"? Is it 440V, AC? Back then they tried using it instead of a PTO shaft to power implements, but the idea didn't catch on. They were way ahead of their time - just wait and see!

Under a heavy load, what keeps that wheel on the ground? Or does the pto run backwards on a Cub?

fred goodrich · Dec 28, 2017

I don't think a Cub would run it. Yea, IH must have been intrigued with Letourneau's use of electronics.

I saw that when I was down there for your December sale. Thought to myself, "Bet that's not for sale."

It's a standard 540 PTO, so no, a Cub won't run it. If memory serves those Electralls can only output about 5000 Watts so you can't put enough load on it to flip it over, even if physics would allow it.

The early ones were 10KW and the later ones were 12.5. 120/208Y, not 480V.

Never on an H or M. First came out on the 100 series like 300 and 400. I can?t find web pics of any on a 300 but several show up on 400?s.

I remember seeing one, maybe on a 400, at the Red Power Pound-Up" in Des Moines last summer. Then too, there's lots of info, an advertising brochure and some photos posted on this site 1n 2013.
