(quoted from post at 14:40:57 05/30/16) Plug an electric drill into the outlet with the generator running. Squeeze the trigger and rotate the chuck backwards with your hand. They usually take right off.
o, just a case of "a generator is a generator" to some people. Seems to be a usual event where people answer a question without any knowledge of what the poster is asking about, but question/topic just triggered a memory of something they heard of or experienced in the past, whether actually related or not. Just people, I guess. Just look at the "all over the map" responses to the Jeep/alternator question! The poor guy is probably more confused than before he asked!!!!(quoted from post at 15:37:42 05/30/16)(quoted from post at 14:40:57 05/30/16) Plug an electric drill into the outlet with the generator running.

What takes off? The generator or your hand??? Some kind of inside joke? Probably.
ometimes reminds one of politicians doesn't it?(quoted from post at 16:25:54 05/31/16) You are right. On an old tractor forum when I hear the word generator, I'm thinking of an old tractor 6 or 12 VDC Generator NOT a household 120 or 120/240 VAC so called "generator". Also Ive heard lay people say the word excite where I would say polarize when speaking of an old tractor DC generator. After being here well over 15 years I see so may people post an answer BUT ITS NOT TO THE QUESTION THAT WAS ASKED, BUT BY GOLLY THEY HAVE THAT ANSWER (even if NOT to the question) AND JUST HAVE TO POST IT LOL

hat IS logical is to ask for information, such as what kind of generator, what vehicle/tractor is it used on, type, etc., before opening the fire hose.(quoted from post at 09:34:36 06/01/16)(quoted from post at 08:34:01 05/31/16)o, just a case of "a generator is a generator" to some people.

He asked about a "generator" in TOOL TALK with no other context.
It is not illogical to conclude that perhaps he is asking about an AC generator for generating household current, and not a DC generator for recharging a tractor's battery.
(quoted from post at 21:28:15 05/29/16) Can someone tell me the procedure to get the generator to charge? I believe the term is "excite" the generator; hope that is close to being correct.
Thank you again.
....the ignition system puts out a 6 - 9 volt charge that excites the generator ....

Not the spark plug wire , and I don't remember where the "hot" wire came from . I just wanted to know what time it was and I did not care to research "how to build a clock" . This might get you into the right direction for a google search .
A momentary supply of 12V from the starter circuit while cranking would likely be enough excitation.
