It rarely is needed, so I don't think about it very often. But, a few weeks ago we were without power for two days. So, here's my thoughts........it is a 540 rpm alternator, but when running the power for the farm I need to have a 540rpm tractor running at high engine speed to achieve that 540rpm. Could I use an adaptor and use my 1000rpm pto tractor and run the engine at basically half speed? The alternator has a gauge with needle that shows where alternator needs to be running. I think my 95hp tractor would run the alternator easy at half throttle using 1000rpm pto. Anyone have any experience with this idea?
Thanks
