The little John Deere alternator in the photo might interest several builders who want an electrical system. It only weighs 4 pounds including the regulator! It is capable of 20 amps at 2500 RPM.

It uses permanent magnets rather than field excited electromagnets, so it doesn’t need electricity to produce electricity.

Part numbers and list prices:

Alternator – AM877557 – $160

Regulator – AM 101406 – $67
