I was looking through the archives the other day and read a bunch of topics on alternators and generators. It seems to me that many people accidently let the smoke out of these electrical devices and they no longer work. This results in the electrical device being thrown to the junk pile and the purchase of a new one. I"m thinking this market needs some one to invent a machine that can put the smoke back into the electrical equipment, and all our problems would be solved as well as money saved.

They had one on the Essex Tri Directional, it ran off the belt pulley

Many times, the smoke only comes out of one small, replaceable part. I would never buy a new generator or alternator without taking the old one apart and checking it out..............

The brochure I saw stated the belt pulley was an early form of velcro. This was necessary because of the rapid changing of all 3 directions at once.A representive at the louisville farm show said the 2010 Essex will be solar powered and totaly green as in enviromenal friendly. I left one of the grand kids as a securety deposit. The model year starts september One, therefore he assured me I will be harvesting this fall using only solar power.

I thought that one had transponders in the flywheel that passed through a disgronificator to produce electrical power that before,could only be produced from nuclear devices? Must be thinking of something else.

I must be confused, I thought i had something to do with the prosicopreator.

If you have Lucas electricals, you're in luck. They actually sell replacement smoke!

And here's the setup to put it back where it belongs:

They say, in a pinch, it will work in a Chevy/Delco system, but NEVER try to use it in a Dorf!

To all: I must be having a bad day because reading all posts gave me a good laugh... ag

I was really pleased to hear that the Essex Tri- Directional will soon be back on the market. Their one drawback was the Lucas electrical system. "Lucas, The Prince of Darkness." Oh well, the tractors perform three times the work of a normal tractor so I guess I won't really have to work at night.

I'm not sure you want a solar powered essex tractor. At 110% effiency it's going to be sending alot of light back to the sun speeding up global warming even more.

I read some where that the extra 10% was stored in a watch battery so you could get home if you worked till dark.
